    Advantages Advantages funny, easy plot, great stunts, creative

    Disadvantages Disadvantages may not appeal to everyone

    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.

    Advantages Advantages Funnier than recent Sandler Output

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Overtly sexual, lacking story development

    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

    Advantages Advantages Good start, amusing at points,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Drags on way too long for my liking, too much of a one-joke movie, a bit too stereotypical perhaps

    - Cast & Crew - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0960144/full​credits - Story - Very basically put, an ex-israeli solder called Zohan Dvir decides to get out of his life in Israel, which is full of peril, as he's frustrated with the continuing conflict between the Israeli's and the palestinians and his one passion in life is, of all things, cutting hair, so he decides to run away and start a new life in New York City where he tries to be become a big flashy hairdresser, although his rather over the top attitude puts potential employers off. Will he be recognised by other ex-pats? will he manage to ... more

    Advantages Advantages Funny, silly, easy to watch, good adult comedy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Maybe too sillyfor some

    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

    Advantages Advantages Funny as hell.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not for most

    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
