You Don't Mess With The Zohan (DVD)

This is a real change of scene for me as I usually dislike most films in the comedy genre. I do have a soft spot for Adam Sandler and like the silly, light hearted feel that comes across in his movies. I recently bought this DVD from Tesco on a whim as it was reduced to just £3.00. It's currently available to purchase on Amazon at £2.99 for a new copy (so I could have saved myself a penny!), and there are plenty of pre-owned DVDs available on the marketplace starting from just 1p plus postage & packaging costs.

If you enjoyed Ben Stiller in Zoolander then You Don't Mess With The Zohan is bound to be right up your street, and I have to confess it's the first Adam Sandler movie I have enjoyed for a great amount of time. Zohan (Sandler) is a Mossad agent whose life is spent carrying out assignments for his government, there is no one like, neither has there ever been anyone like Zohan, he is the ultimate killing machine. Sadly for Zohan this is not the life he chooses for himself, he dreams of being a hairdresser feeling he has the special touch. So when an opportunity arises for him to fake his own ... more

No Spoilers included, well hardly. You Don't Mess With The Zohan. Right! Adam Sandler stars as Zohan, an Israeli special forces super hero who seems to have the knack of excelling in everything he does, of being extremely attractive to the ladies and the envy of all the guys. You would think he would be in seventh heaven but no all he wants to do is escape his life, move to America and become a successful hairdresser. This is much to the disgust of his parents who are appalled at his desire. When one of his military assignments ends with the Zohan apparently meeting his demise he uses this ... more

An unusual comedy, to say the least. ‘You don’t mess with the Zohan’ (which could have done with a better title) was in every respect comparable to marmite; you either love it, or you hate it. Myself, I fall into the former category (for the film and marmite, at least no one steals my sandwiches). The Plot Pointless is the word here, the films primary concern is being funny, and the ridiculous plot takes a back seat). Basically, an Iranian counter terrorist gets tired of his life, fakes his own death (amazingly convincingly) and goes to America to become a hair dresser. Unfortunately, all he’s ... more
