Nov 29 2007First Look at 'The Zohan'

When I heard that I would be getting my first look at "Zohan" today, my excitement reached an all-time high. What new man, whose name clearly begins with a Z, would be walking alongside Lindsey Lohan's thinly-tighted legs? Billy Zane? Soccer star Zinedine Zidane? The animated corpse of Zero Mostel? The anticipation was palpable.

So imagine my disappointment when I learned "Zohan" was not, in fact, the cutesy name of Lindsey Lohan and a mysterious Z-man, but rather a new Adam Sandler comedy co-starring Mariah Carey and Rob Schneider (inevitably playing another half-retard with a shouted catchphrase, I assume) and helmed by the director of I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.

In You Don't Mess with the Zohan, Sandler plays an Israeli Mossad agent who fakes his death to move to New York and become a hairstylist, a concept that will hilariously allow for both racial and gay jokes, and maybe even an enraging goofy accent. Then again, it's written by Judd Apatow and Robert Smigel, so I don't know what to think.
