I think he illustrates the difficulty of getting good comic material. He usually settles for very inferior, juvenile, stuff. Thanks for the comment!

Maybe that's why the Israelis love it; it lampoons the Palestinians. Seriously, though, if you go looking for cultural sensitivity in an Adam Sandler film, you're barking up the wrong actor.

As a matter of fact, a number of Arab actors initially refused to take a role because they found it offensive. Nevertheless, it's still way too ridiculous to be considered that offensive. What offended me was how tired a lot of the humor was. Give me a fresh laugh once in a while, please.

It's amusing who usually gets offended: the ones that the jokes aren't about. :) That’s awesome. It’s amusing who usually gets offended: the ones that the jokes aren’t about. :)
