Movie Reviews of You Don't Mess With the Zohan (Unrated Extended Single-Disc Edition)
Movie Review: funny business
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't believe how much I enjoyed You Don't Mess With the Zohan.
I went in fully expecting a typical Adam Sandler movie (you know, the kind where he just plays a stupid main character who's too goofy for his own good, which results in hit or miss comedy material).
Instead, this is quite possibly one of the best movies he ever made. I'm seriously shocked right now.
Furthermore, this movie almost has an epic feel to it. The movie is bigger, more "complex" (by comedy standards) and funnier than I EVER would've imagined.
I won't lie to you though- it might take a few minutes to warm up to Adam Sandler's character. Sometimes his accent isn't always clear, and other times it's just downright sloppy and unbelievable. Still, give the story time to develop, and you should be in for a really good time.
Probably not as good as the Waterboy though, but this movie comes OH so close to matching the greatness of that one.
Some of the scenes that brought a smile to my face, or downright made me laugh like a school girl-
- the scene where Adam's character was "feeling up" his customers at the hair salon and treating the older ladies like they were young and extremely attractive. He would constantly hit on the ladies with his inappropriate words. After that, Adam's character would take them to the back room of the salon and... you know!
- he was playing a game where he was bouncing a cat with the top of his feet, similar to things ball players tend to do while warming up, haha.
- the part where he was peeing in the litter box was golden!
- making a little child cry when he said that the boys veins would probably be accidentally cut if the boy didn't sit still for a haircut, lol
- swimming like a professional while chasing a guy on a jet ski
- playing pinball with a grenade
- constantly saying inappropriate things to Americans, and the people sort of forgiving him because of his accent and where he's from
- tying people into knots by folding their arms and legs, haha
- fighting a group of bad guys in super speed fast motion. similar to this scene would be the one where he drank a bottle of yellow liquid in a matter of two seconds after being hesitant if he should drink it or not
This was just a really funny movie. I can't believe I don't remember any advertisements running for it on television.
Summary of You Don't Mess With the Zohan (Unrated Extended Single-Disc Edition)
Comedy superstar Adam Sandler is back - and funnier than ever - as The Zohan, the finest counterterrorist agent the Israeli army has. That is, until he fakes his death and travels to Manhattan to live his dream...as a hairdresser. Now this skilled fighting machine who used to clip bad guys is out to prove he can make the cut as a top stylist. All goes silky smooth until his cover is blown when he's recognized by a Palestinian cab driver (Rob Schneider). Now, The Zohan must fight to live a peaceful new life in New York in this razor-sharp action-packed comedy from Adam Sandler, Robert Smigel, Judd Apatow and Dennis Dugan.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
