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

 Sick Sick Sick December 1, 2008
Cutting hair of old women and then having sex with them in the backroom of salon ? Disgusting. I think I can never see Adam Sandler's films again.
stay away, unless you like a 10 crotch jokes per hour November 29, 2008
let me get this straight, I have never ever written a movie review. What drove me to invest my time in reviewing this one is the hope that God may erase a large chunk of my sins for the service I am about to provide you. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE!! Go spend your money on something classier, like any Mel Brooks movie. I literally felt like puking and had to abandon my wife in the TV room when I took shelter in my bed. Needless to say, after a disturbed night involving screaming, sweating and a hasty message that I left on a therapist's answering machine, I finally came to grips that the 45 or odd minutes I spent watching the movie, will require a regular regimen of diet, exercise, yoga and as mentioned before, a costly therapy session or two.
Worst. Movie. Ever. November 28, 2008

Not sure what's going on with Adam Sandler these days. It seems as if whatever freshness he brought to the tasble early on is gone. Now, its as if he's pursuing what he thinks is comedy. This wasn't justa bad Sandler movie, it was a bad movie period.

This movie was nothing but filth and without any laughs. The only humorous parts were shown in the advertisement.
