You Don't Mess With the Zohan Review Summary

Reviewers had mixed reviews for You Don't Mess With the Zohan starring Adam Sandler. While some found it was "Funny. Silly. Dirty. Sandler doing what he does best," others found it was a waste of their money, prompting them to get up and leave halfway through. While some felt You Don't Mess With the Zohan was the worst movie of the year, others enjoyed the political humor. Sandler stars as "an Israeli counter-terrorism agent who fakes his death to pursue his dream of being a hairdresser" in the United States. To get ahead and finally land the job of his dreams, he beds all the elderly women that come into the salon. Sandler's bigger fans feel You Don't Mess With the Zohan puts him back on track with the "good old dirty jokes and silliness," and away from the heavy emotional drama films such as Reign Over Me.

After a couple of lackluster departures from the silly kind of comedy that Adam Sandler is famous for, he was back on track in "Zohan".  There's no heavy emotional drama, no smart social commentary or anything, just good old dirty jokes and silliness.  It's not believable in any way shape… read full review »

Okay, I admit it! I actually went to go see this movie... and I talked my elderly mother into seeing it with me. (What was I thinking?). How embarrassing that turned out to be. Not to mention that the theatre was filled with the pre-teen sect. I was so looking forward to seeing a comedy. Adam… read full review »

DONT MESS WITH THE ZOHAN: This movie was terrible. There was a lot of sexual context in this movie that was not told about in the trailor. Zohan has sex with everyone who gets their hair cut. You see the walls shaking etc...it is not a good movie to take your kids to. — When I went, the theater was full of kids. I was embarrased for the parents. If movie theaters would give back money, I would have asked for it. It was a waste of my money. I don't see what the big hype was=was it because Adam Sandler was the star? Don't know, but DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY if you do not like gross movies… read full review »

You Don't Mess with the Zohan was a really great movie. It was a more political than I had originally expected, but it still got a point across. There were many political aspects of the movie, but was still able to poke fun at the situations in the Middle East in a non-threatening manner. Adam Sandler did a great job portraying an ex-IDF soldier. The soundtrack was amazing as well. — —… read full review »

I realy enjoyed this movie.  These screwball comedies can be ridiculous sometimes, and of course this one does have some silly parts. But it made me laugh, and it had heart.  Adam Sandler knows how to make movies with heart and humor, and he did it… read full review »
