Zohan is getting some bad reviews though.
Both the Onion and SFChron thought that it was plenty silly but kind of lazy. And these are reviewers that like things like Talladega Nights and Zoolander so they're not averse to the broad comedy if it's funny.
I kind of want to see Zohan, too.
I was mildly traumatized by the Zohan movie poster. Adam Sandler's junk in my face! That's almost as wrong as naked Carrot Top.
I am definitely averse to the broad comedy.
I think that the last comedy I've seen at the cinema was Meet the Parents, which I didn't really enjoy (too much humiliation humor for me).
Depending on one's definition of comedy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall was probably mine. I think I only laughed during the Dracula puppet show after sitting stone-faced or wincing for 95 minutes.
I laughed the whole way through.
The only comedies I can think of off the top of my head that I've enjoyed in recent years are
Dick,
Go,
and
Saved.
I tend to prefer my comedy packaged with some drama (see
Hedwig and the Angry Inch,
Ghost World,
and
American Splendor).
I don't really think of
Go
as a comedy, even though it's pretty damn funny.
