You dont mess with the Zohan
Movies August 4th, 2008This was an EXCELLENT slap stick comedy ! And people should just sit back and enjoy the movie for what it is. I think there is an important message in the film and they are making a light comedy of a war that has been going on for over 2000 years. Come on people no one cares anymore except the ones fighting still. Adam Sandler was absolutely fabulous in the movie and his Hebrew accent was done really well.
From IMDb …I’ve been a fan of Adam Sandler for much of my life. . . all the way back to his SNL and ‘Airheads’ days. I’ve seen him go through many phases, from some great films like ‘Punch-Drunk Love,’ ‘Reign Over Me,’ and ‘Big Daddy’ to some of his lower-end films like ‘Eight Crazy Nights’ and ‘Little Nicky.’
‘You Don’t Mess With the Zohan’ is not one of his best films, but it’s still enjoyable. Personally, I’d place it along the comedic quality of ‘Billy Madison’. . . contains mostly sight gags and juvenile humor. But, c’mon. . . sometimes that’s what we need. Our world is going to Hell, so shouldn’t we have some relief from the pain and torment we must witness on a daily basis? No. It’s not a great film. But it’s funny and stupid and entertaining. And that’s the reason to see it. . . don’t expect a comedic masterpiece like ‘His Girl Friday’ or ‘Forrest Gump.’ Expect what the film actually as and accept it as such. . . if it’s not for you, then it wasn’t MEANT for you.
This is the story about a Mossad agent Zohan Dvir, who fakes his death so he can re-emerge in New York City as a hair stylist. He romances his clients by giving them “special services” in the back room. However, he is eventually recognized, and risks losing his newfound life and career.
