Review of The Hebrew Hammer (2003) by Chris T — 07 Aug 2007
When me and my buddy rented this one, we expected something to laugh at and have a good time with. But when the girl at Blockbuster asked if we were Jewish, and we said no...we knew something was not right.
First of all, you know it's a bad movie when Andy Dick is the only saving grace. Him, as the new Santa Clause, and his side kick, Tiny Tim, are funny together. The opening scene was good as well. Oh yea, and the movie actually had Mario Van Peebles in it.
You don't know who that is? Well basically he's every black man you've ever seen in a movie. Other than those few parts, it was just awful. The movie tried to be funny, and it just didn't come through.
I don't know where it went wrong. It tried to make a joke of the whole "Private I" deal...but than it went for shock value at times...than mixed in a lot of Jewish humor. I guess we've learned that all those mixed together make a pretty bad film.
Don't judge Adam Goldberg on this performace. Stick to what you know and keep watching Entourage. I don't even know what to tell you guys. I guess rent it and see what you get out of it...especially if you're Jewish.
As more me, you gotta see the bad ones to appreciate the good ones, right?
