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

- Semi Inspired Goofiness
Adam Sandler has always been an enigma to me. I never liked him on “SNL” finding him whiny and annoying. He’s had his moments on the big screen with “Happy Gilmore” and “Anger Management”. His high point was probably “Punch-Drunk Love” but I attribute that to auteur Paul Thomas Anderson finding the perfect actor for his vision. Daniel Day-Lewis Sandler ain’t. I came to “Zohan” intrigued by the concept of an Israeli counter-terrorist with a secret desire to become a hair stylist. Despite the … Read More

- I laughed
The silliness was over the top, I couldn’t help it. SNL alumni and middle eastern comics and Chris Rock keep the viewer entertained ever when Zohan is present. Not tasteful or incisive but this is Sandler the comic. What did you expect?
Rating:
- Stop looking for thoughtful commentary on the middle east…it’s just a Sandler movie.
What’s with all the reviewers leaving bad reviews because this movie doesn’t take seriously the Israel/Palestine conflict? It’s an Adam Sandler movie, were you really looking for a serious analysis of an international crisis? Were you really expecting something deep or profound from the guy who made “Mr. Deeds”? Stop taking yourself so seriously and accept this movie for what it is, a goof-ball comedy based on physical humor and silly characters.
90% of Adam Sandler movies are terrible. … Read More

- Terrible movie…a sad attempt at a humorous outlook on a serious situation
As someone who follows the Middle Eastern conflicts carefully, I was hoping for a lighthearted look on this very serious, often times tragic, situation. Instead, I only got stupidity.
The overall storyline would neither make nor break the movie — a super agent fakes his own death to pursue a less violent life; in the end, him and his former enemy have to team up to stop the bad guys, plus he gets the girl. Typical goofy plot that had potential to be really funny or really lame. Sadly, Sandler … Read More
