While the ladies at the Memorial Day cookout were chatting about the upcoming "Sex and the City" movie, my 17-year-old nephew, Ross, and I talked about his anticipation for the new Adam Sandler flick, "You Don't Mess With the Zohan."

That got me to thinking...

As a sensitive male of the 21st century, I can handle the SATC gang -- and their cosmopolitans and Manolos -- in small doses. That's pretty much the way I feel about Adam Sandler, too. Funny guy. Loved him on "Saturday Night Live." I thought he was terrific in "Spanglish," "The Wedding Singer" and a few other dramatic roles. But, there are times when seeing him on screen for 2 hours can be a little bit too much.

I'm wondering whether "Zohan" will be worth a trip to the multiplex, if only because it seems like Hollywood owes us a goofball "guy" movie to counteract the "Sex and the City" hysteria.

Here is the trailer for "Zohan." What do you think?

In the interest of fair play, here is the trailer for "Sex and the City."

Which film will send you the nearest multiplex?
