Zohan vs Borat (and The Big Lebowski)

A few inconvenient comparisons are made between Adam Sandler’s latest on-screen persona Zohan, Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat, and the Jesus Quintana character from The Big Lebowski, in S. James Snyder’s "Something Familiar About the Zohan?" piece in Time magazine.

We happen to detest practically everything Sandler touches so there’d be no sadness on our part if this were to finally prove what we, and many others, have known all along: that he is a crass, talentless hack who got supremely lucky. Surely there is a real comedic talent taking Sandler’s place on the Tuesday night, 7:45 PM slot at, dunno, Yuk-Yuks in Fresno; just the kind of thing that fuels an atheist's beliefs.
