I Have To See This
Not since this movie have I so looked forward to seeing a movie just on the basis of a short plot description and cast.
A Mossad agent fakes his death so he can re-emerge in New York City as a hair stylist.
The case includes Adam Sandler (in the title role), Rob Schneider, Henry Winkler (the Fonz), Mariah Carey (rumoured), and some Israeli-sounding-name actors.
Of course, you can imagine that the plot will involve Sandler’s character and the Arab characters in the movie becoming best buddies. It is, after all, a comedy, and an Adam Sandler one at that. But I’m willing to forgive Sandler since he is a real life mensch.
(Thanks to Ace for drawing my attention to this movie, but not for drawing my attention to..errr.. this).
Update: Despite commenter David’s constant obnoxious comments, I have now reread this post and see where there could be some misunderstanding. What I meant by the last paragraph is you can imagine that there will be some moral equivocation, with the ex-Mossad agent befriending some ex terrorists or something of the sort. I did not mean that he will befriend any Arabs, per se, and this is somehow “wrong.”

It’s big of you to forgive him for becoming friends with an Arab. Hard to think of a more heinous crime.
