What Just Happened?
Starring:
Robert De Niro, Bruce Willis, John Turturro
Review:
Think of it as old Hollywood's version of Entourage, an
insider's take on the greed and vanity that make Tinseltown tick.
Based on a memoir by producer Art Linson, the movie stars Robert De
Niro, actually good for a change (Die! Die! Righteous
Kill!), as a stressed producer. He's got a Sean Penn movie
that's tanking at test screenings because a dog gets shot in
close-up. He also has a film about to start with Bruce Willis, who
balks at dieting and shaving his beard. ?The fucker is as fat and
hairy as ever,? De Niro moans to John Turturro, as Willis' agent.
Willis is a hoot as a nightmare version of himself. There are funny
scenes, nicely directed by Barry Levinson. Other stuff, involving
De Niro's ex-wife (Robin Wright Penn) and their daughter (Kristen
Stewart), are not much of anything....

You Don't Mess With the Zohan
Starring:
Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, Mariah Carey, Shelley Berman, Sayed
...
Review:
Given the missed opportunities for sharpening silliness with
satire, it's impossible not to mess with the Zohan. There's a risky
idea in the script cooked up by star Adam Sandler and his
co-writers, Robert Smigel and Judd Apatow: What if Sandler played a
Mossad commando named Zohan who fakes his death and comes to New
York to live his dream of making the world "silky smooth" by
cutting and styling hair? And what if the only job he could get was
working in a Brooklyn salon run by a Palestinian babe (Emmanuelle
Chriqui)?
It's the Middle East crisis played for laughs, and it gets a few
until the movie backs off its bolder notions. That's a shame,
because Sandler, buff, blow-dried and Borat-accented, is clearly
having a ball playing a Jewish superhero. Ditto John Turturro as
Zohan'...
