If You Don't Mess with the Zohan feels like an extended and crazed sketch from Saturday Night Live , there are reasons for that. Zohan 's star and SNL alumnus Adam Sandler is joined by several fellow cast members (in uncredited cameo roles) from his years on the NBC show. But Sandler also co-wrote the film's absurdist script with SNL veteran writer and sometime-performer Robert Smigel. Echoes of a few of their classic skits on the show--built around high-strung Israeli characters obsessed with disco and selling junk electronics out of a New York shop--are in revisited in Zohan and are a lot of fun to see again. Zohan is unbridled nonsense thrown at the wall, but with a sunny disposition that proves surprisingly persuasive. Sandler stars as an Israeli intelligence operative who fakes his death to reinvent himself in New York City as a hairdresser. Putting the lie to assumptions that any man in that professional field must be gay, Zohan routinely provides raucous sexual favors for all of his older female customers. The sight of bottles of gels and hairsprays falling off shelves while the indefatigable Zohan pleasures randy grannies on the other side of a salon wall is pure SNL, and is funnier than it might sound. The silly story involves an old, Palestinian enemy of Zohan, the Phantom (John Turturro), showing up in Manhattan, but everything is really leading to a Big Apple version of the resolution of Israeli-Palestinian conflicts we'd all like to see on a large scale. The film is almost instantly forgettable, and there are many times it veers toward the dumb, but it also sells itself well as a nutty concept. --Tom Keogh Stills from You Dont Mess with the Zohan (click for larger image) -- end6pak --> Adam Sandler is The Zohan, a former counterterrorist agent who's determined to be a hairdresser in the outrageous new film from kings of comedy Adam Sandler, Robert Smigel, Judd Apatow and Dennis Dugan. Review: Lots of laughs - This movie is literally hilarious. Love Adam Sandler. Review: Hilarious - Very funny movie.

Original, not bad, but not his best either
I gave it 4 stars 'cause it's on the better side of 3. I thought it started out funnier than it ended - granted by the ending there was more of a 'message' angle to things, but I thought the quality of acting and the pace just seemed to lose it more towards the end. Could have been all the guest stars (Chris Rock as a Haitian/Jamaican cabbie? Winkler as.. who? etc). And while Sandler kept up his end mostly throughout, some of the supporting characters seemed too 'American' to be spoofing the Middle East - though some did the job well enough. The girl salon boss that he loves - she occasionally seems to forget her 'Palestinian' accent.. But whatever - it's not like you were taking this movie TOO seriously anyway, though I do think it could have been better had they played it a little tighter in some places. There are some good gags, though the gimmick starts to wear off a little toward the end as 'the message' kicks in. It's a fair enough message though I'll say that. I wanted to see this movie and now I have. It's on the better side of Sandler films, most of which I've seen. I don't think it's better than some of the classics, for example "Bulletproof", "The Waterboy", "The Wedding Singer" or in his deeper fare, the excellent "Punch Drunk Love". I even liked "Funny People" more. But it is an interesting and original character in the Sandler catalogue all things considered. No, I don't think it's comparable to Borat, as someone mentioned - another great movie btw - though speaking of Sacha Baron Kohen, this movie Zohan may be of more resemblance to Kohen's "Bruno" which was TRULY hilarious - I ached from laughing so hard when I saw that. That movie however makes the crude humor in "Zohan" look tame (you've been warned!). All things considered, I'm not sure Zohan is really 4 star material, but if not then it's a very high 3. No need to tell Sandler fans it's worth a look. Zohan is an entertaining and decent movie altogether, but fell a bit short of its potential I thought.. to sum up in 3 words: it was ok.
