"Greatest israeli soldier." Super… more anti-palestinian sentiments. This seems complete and utter bullshit. I've stopped respecting sandler ever since that Click stage, and hope to god this doesnt get anything other than a few dollars at the box office.

Can we have a Wedding Singer 2? Just as long as it doesn't suck and is even better than the first. Or better yet how about a Tollbooth Willy movie??

Wow does that look stupid… It's like Adam is trying to be Borat but fails miserably… I will be sure to avoid this at all costs.

Remember the last time Judd Apatow wrote for a big star? We got "Fun with Dick and Jane". Ecch! He's funny but let's not forget he is fallible.

I agree with Jeff, it does look like it is trying to ride Borat's coat-tails a little bit. I think it looks amusing at least, maybe a wait-for-dvd and watch it if someone else rents it.

Why does it look anti-palestinian??? If anything, it looks anti-Lebanese since they make reference to Hezbollah… Besides that, just because he is an Israeli soldier doesnt mean the movie is anti-palestinian. They're taking a sensitive subject and taking a (VERY) light-hearted approach to joking around about it. "Life is Beautiful" is a comedy about the holocaust. It's not as slap-stick as this, but a comedy nonetheless, and a comedy about the Holocaust… Does the movie make the Jews look like heroes??? No. It makes a single man look like a compasionate and loving father. It has nothing to do with being jewish. The character's background doesn't matter as much as the character. It's a matter of circumstance.

I do have to say that this might only be funny to a specific niche of people though. As a NY jew, I might be biased into thinking this movie looks hilarious. From "Chaustralia" to him jumping off the "Moishe's" moving company truck (something only NYers know about). The general public might not be able to relate to this… We'll have to wait and find out….

And one more thing…. What does "I dont like Jewish heroes mean???" That sounds pretty ignorant. And so does "Palestinians ARE terrorists…" Generalizations are stupid… And just because he has an accent doesn't mean he is riding Borat's coat tails…. How does this movie relate to Borat in the slightest bit besides the fact that they're creators are both Jewish????? I might be mistaken but Sandler and his crew has been around way longer than Borat or Ali G… Besides, Schneider was doing the accent in "Big Daddy" long before Borat was popular (at least in America)

I'm not Jewish, but I think movie is brilliant. An ex soldier becomes a salon technician, WOW!! And all those Palestinians who have their panties in a ruffle over this movie should just chill. Israel rocks!!! while you guys just throw em.

For anyone who hasn't got their head buried deep in the sand, taking an Israeli Mossad agent as a character that we should feel sympathetic towards is simply jaw-droppingly insensitive and ignorant (or do I mean arrogant?). Was this movie funded by the Israel lobby?! Israel is an apartheid state (of which Mossad plays a very active part), piling misery upon misery upon the Palestinian population, has stolen land from Jordan, has occupied Lebanon, …. It doesn't matter how many great lines there are in this movie, it just isn't appropriate to be "taking a light look" at what for 100s of thousands of Palestinians is a current and ongoing hell.

How funny would it have been 20 years ago to have made a movie about a white supremacist South African who wanted to become a hairdresser and move to the US and was then threatened by Mandela's freedom movement (who, yes, did take up arms against their oppressors)?

And, no, I haven't got a problem with Jews. I've got a problem with terrorist states like Israel.

Seriously, Jimmymac you have a problem. Okay so what your saying is that Israel has no right to a piece of land that was taken away from them during the Great Diapora under Roman occupation. All the persecution and death that they suffered at the hands of the Nazis and on top of that they were driven off of their own land which they occupied since the time of Abraham. The Palestinians are simply squaters with rocks and a whacked religion that teaches killing Jews, Christians, and Americans (Westerners) will lead them to heaven. O'yeah that reminds me, when was the last time you heard of a bomb attached to an Israeli that killed people on a bus? C'mon, dude!!! Open your eyes and stop being so p_ssyfied.

Gonzo on Jan 18, 2008

It always amuses me to see how a simple thing like a movie can bring out the prejudices in people. If you have a problem with Israel or Palestine keep it to urself and just don't watch the movie!

I personally agree that Sandler is def trying to pull a Borat, but I still think it will be entertaining. Rob Schneider looks hillarious in this one!

Amrit on Jan 19, 2008

Yes, consider my amusement Amrit when I read about passive, "let's all get along" comments like yours when the reality of whats going on over there should have an open forum of discussion, even if it just over a dumb movie. When people misinterpret history and modern political thought the result is your type of dillusional mindset, "just keep it to urself". Wake up and read the front page sometime then have a normal discussion with your neighbor, maybe you'll feel a little bit different next time someone has a comment.

Hi people.

I just want to tell you my experience about Israel- Arab thing.

I traveled a lot and talk to many people in both sides, going from Iran, Iraq jordan syria and Israel. hell, i even talked to many israeli and arab students here in Canada. the bottom line is there are 12.5 million israeli jews and 700 million arabs from nile to Euphrates (river in egypt to river in iraq).

less than 1 million in Israelis believe the land between these two rivers belongs to Zionist (note that there are many jews who are not zionists. PS, no relation between this and the underground city of zion in Matrix). those one million happen to be in charge in Israel, while the 11.5s vote really don't go anywhere (read about how democracy works in Israel).

out of those 700 million Muslim and Christian Arabs (yes, there is a large population of Christians in lebonan. read a book Gonzo) a few are terrorists. if all 1.5 billion Muslim population was terrorist we all be dead by now.

the deal is that both these minor groups on both sides believe these two nations should be separate. that way they get to be in charge. so they have the same goal. movies like this are made to help north Americans accept this and show support for this separation or at least keep them from complaining.

I think the movie sucks. hebru accent is not like that. I think Adam is trying to pull a borat. that is sad coming from a veteran actor. i keep my ten bucks thank you.

PS. all the people who think they are in danger from Arabs because their red neck congressman tells them so, read a book, talk to people, find the truth, and don't come to Canada before you fix yourselves, because racism is a crime in Canada unlike in United states, where you need to sue somebody to get you dignity back.

also smart bombs used by Americans in Iraq are just like suicide bombing, because they kill more children than terrorists.

from Nile to Euphrates doesn't just belong to jews the same way that America doesn't just belong to KKK. they belong to all people of earth.

get that into your head war mongering people. we are not going to fight each other just because you say so.

we are all brothers and sisters and should love each other. if you got a problem with that you can kiss my natural born black ass.
