OK,lost as to why the overall rating of this movie isn't higher. People must be missing something.Found this off the cuff via one of our streaming subscriptions and thoroughly enjoyed.Everything from the action sequences through the raucous and at times borderline raunchy humor all had its roots in one concept, "Why can't we all just get along?" Great cameos, a surprising veteran actor cast, with a great soundtrack as well, and some interesting if not somewhat awkward music covers, this movie gives laughs, a little history, and a delightful spirit all the way through."Sometimes hyperbole is the only way to make a point; simply analogizing by going from the mundane to the ridiculous gets people to stop and think." - Unknown Without a doubt, if you get into the spirit of this movie, it'll surprisingly enlighten both heart and mind while delivering some both good laughs with even some cringe-worthy laughs too, some fun beats along the way, making You Don't Mess with the Zohan some of Sandler's best work. :D Give this movie a chance, you won't regret it. :D

this film may be entertaining, but I don't think the 'cat scenes' are necessary at all. This ruins the comedy of the film by demonstrating that it's OK to be cruel to animals. The plot is interesting enough; the scenes with animals just aren't needed. I don't even understand why that would be funny. They are also recurring in the film - If you are a cat lover, like myself, please be warned about the 'hacky sack' scenes which although are mild, can also be quite upsetting. disappointed in this film as those parts ruined it for me. It seemed as though the directors ran out of ideas for gags and turned to animals instead... All this film needed to do was focus on Zohan's dream and his rivalry with Fantom and then it would be perfect.

You Don't Mess With the Zohan (2008): Dir: Dennis Dugan / Cast: Adam Sandler, Jon Turturro, Emmanuelle Chrique, Rob Schneider, Nick Swardson: Hilarious film about achieving your goals in a different destination. Adam Sandler plays Zohan, an Israeli counter terrorist who fakes his own death, only to embark on his dream in America as a hair stylist. While formula in structure director Dennis Dugan creates his best film to date after having made such embarrassments as Big Daddy and Problem Child. The terrorist jokes are hilarious but the sexual jokes are more stomach turning than funny. Sandler creates one of his best comic characters. Zohan desires to start new and reinvent himself with a more positive image. Jon Turturro steals scenes as a terrorist who secretly desires to be a shoe salesman. Emmanuelle Chriqui plays Zohan's love interest in what first gets drown in formula romantic clichés until a secret is revealed that adds a peaceful spin on the circumstance. Rob Schneider is hilarious as a Palestinian cab driver who holds a grudge against Zohan after losing his goat. He will inform Turturro of his whereabouts although that gains him even less respect. Nick Swardson plays a friend whom Zohan hooks up with and like anything Swardson does, he fails to be normal. Lots of gravity defying special effects are featured throughout as well as a message of starting over. Score: 9 / 10
