Not out at the cinemas yet, but I'm definitely going to go along, possibly heavily intoxicated to improve enjoyment. Props to the people who are in it.

WAtched it last night.

Was thrilled to see footbag in it. Was somewhat dissapointed in how much there was. But it was cool to see some familiar faces in a major motion picture!

The last name in the credits is Ryan Mulroney. After Hacky sack is a registered trademark of Wham-o. They say special thanks to Ryan Mulroney

Finally got to see it tonight.

It was kinda funny, but I honestly don't know how it is received elsewhere as most of the funnier parts were partly or completely in Hebrew.

A nice little bonus was that the subtitles translation for "hacky sack" was the official name we use for footbag in Israel, the translators must've looked it up on our website.

I didn't like the cat sack one bit.. I thought it was retarded and unnecessary.

This movie was WAYYY better than i expected it to be. Random as hell, chuckled throughout the entire movie, no really funny parts though.

Its worth watching.

I was extremely disappointed with this movie. For the footbag aspect I was expecting a lot more footage but that wasn't the movie's fault only my own expectations, but the problem with the footage is that it is: A- all referred to as "hackey-sack" and, B- many of the scenes of kicking were foolish crap (the cat kicking scene comes to mind). I counted 3, yes 3 actual footbag tricks Clip > Clip > SS Legover. Lame.

But hackey sack pet peeves aside the movie wasn't good at all. The story line is ridiculous and makes virtually no sense (Israeli CT agent comes to America to do hair/old ladies??). I haven't liked any new Sandler movie in a long while so I shouldn't have expected much, but in my opinion this movie is significantly worse than Little Nicky. Oh well for me I won't ever again be "Messing with the Zohan" figuratively or literally.

2/10 because it had 2 clippers and a legover.

I got called "a Zohan" and told to "stop showing off Zohan" by some douchebag when I was kicking on Monday. Now Adam Sandler's jackass fans will have yet another annoying set of catchphrases to drunkenly scream at one another over and over and over again on the way home from a Cubs game. Except this one specifically relates to footbag. Awesome.

Clearly this is the Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo of footbag.

Hahahah if someone called me a "Zohan" while I was kicking they'd get decked. Although it might be a good way to rip on your friends.

Perhaps we could contact Adam Sandler and have him do a spoof documentary on how "Zohan" has begun a new sport called "Footbag" and have him present to the world some of the best players in action and have him and Zohan take all the credit for it. could be humorous AND promotional for Footbag.
