paulclaassen There's a reason why I don't like Adam Sandler films. This must be the worst. Stupid from beginning to end. There is not a single frame in this film that was good or remotely enjoyable. And what's with Adam's annoying accent?? Who concocts crap like this? Honestly! Slapstick in overdrive!

glen-wright If you like silly comedy then you will like this! People might not like this if they dislike ridiculous comedy. If you are one of those people then I feel bad for you, son (daughter).

sue-74122 A cross between Borat and Fading Gigolo. A superhero movie where the superheroes are an Israeli and a Palestinian. Go figure. Many moments of laugh-out-loud rollicking good fun. Ludicrous, insane, outrageous, ridiculous and just very funny. No, it certainly doesn't pass the Bechdel test. Worse, the women, and there are many, all seem to have scripts that require them to swoon at the sight/touch of Adam Sandler's gyrating crotch and buttocks that can catch a flying fish. But who cares? Time to put all sensibility to one side and have a good belly laugh.

Tweekums Zohan is Israel's top counter-terrorist operative but he has had enough of conflict; he just wants to retire and become a hair stylist. To this end he fakes his own death and heads to New York. When he gets there he is turned down by every salon he approaches; eventually he gets a job sweeping up the hair in a small salon run by a Palestinian woman. Eventually she gives him a chance to cut hair and he satisfies all his female customers… and not just due to his skills with the scissors! There are a couple of problems though; a Palestinian taxi driver recognises him and contacts Zohan's foe 'The Phantom' and the man who owns all the local shops is putting up rents to drive out his tenants; when that fails he tries to set the Jewish and Arab tenants against each other.This Adam Sandler vehicle has a good central idea and features plenty of genuinely funny moments… it also has moments are just too silly or somewhat crude. Some people will find these excesses hilarious; others will find it ruins the film for them; I just thought it was a distraction from the better parts. Sandler was funny enough as Zohan and the supporting cast were solid enough. There is some action although it is played for silly laughs rather trying to be even vaguely believable. Overall I'd say this was funny enough but not a must see unless you are a die-hard Sandler fan.
