Last weekend, for Father's Day, I planned a marathon date for Steve. We started with a lesson with my tennis pro, went home and changed, and grabbed dinner in town. Then we went to the Garden State Mall to catch a movie, You Don't Mess with the Zohan. At that point, our marathon date went haywire because some loser decided to pull the fire alarm 20 minutes into our movie. The whole mall was evacuated, no small feat considering this is one of the biggest malls in NJ. We went home and finished our night on the couch with our respective IPods.
Tonight we repeated the marathon date, complete with tennis lesson. Luckily we got through the entire movie without any disruptions other than crying children. Why is it that more and more people seem to be bringing their babies to 9PM movies? Wouldn't they have more fun at home on the couch? They end up spending the entire time in the aisle, and bother everybody else, and it seems to happen more and more. I'll get off my soap box and give you the scoop on the Zohan.
Unfortunately I'm not sure You Don't Mess with the Zohan was worth two trips to the mall. It was funny, but not that funny, and at times it was a bit long. Still, I didn't think I would ever find humor in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, so Sandler gets a lot of credit for that. I also didn't think it was possible to have that many jokes about hummus, but they were all funny. The soundtrack, with all its disco music, must be awesome.
Still, you could definitely enjoy it on HBO without missing much. Sandler's crotch thrusts probably won't lose too much by transitioning to the small screen.

I can barely bring myself to a 9pm movie- I really can hardly imagine the state my children would be in!
