Mess with Zohan... please.


"You Don't Mess with Zohan". Zohan is the top Israeli counter-terrorist. After he gets sick of his job he feigns death and goes to America to pursue a life as a hairstylist.

This was one of those movies that looked like it could be funny, but ended up being a great disappointment. There was barely anything to laugh at in the movie, unless you like less-then-subtle sex-with-old-people 'humor', constant less-then-subtle sexual 'jokes', seeing Adam Sandler's character walk around with a humongous bulge in his pants, a really poor accent from Adam, and not to mention the enormous amount of racism. The whole movie is based around Israeli and Pakistani stereotypes.

Also the saddest part of the movie was the brief appearance of
George Takei (Captain Sulu, from Star Trek) as a homosexual Asian that likes puppies. Not only was he in a piece of crap movie, he was also in a degrading role, AND a scene that had no merit anyway. It is clear that he really needs work.
