You Don't Mess with the Zohan (10/7/08)
Rated PG-13 for crude and sexual content throughout, language and nudity.
Directed by Dennis Dugan (I Now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry and Benchwarmers)
Starring Adam Sandler, Alex Luria, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Lainie Kazan, Rob Schneider, Sayed Badreya, Shelley Berman
Todd's Rating: Skip it
You Don’t Mess with the Zohan…more like don’t watch the Zohan.
The story is about a Mossad agent Zohan Dvir, who fakes his death so he can pursue his dream of becoming a hair stylist in New York City. He “romances” his clients by giving them "special services" in the back room. However, he is eventually recognized, and risks losing his newfound life and career.
There really is so little to say about this movie. It is completely unashamed of what it is: a ridiculous raunch-fest. From beginning to end, Sandler and crew push the PG-13 envelope with sex jokes and innuendos, not to mention Sandler’s bear back side and ridiculous oversized bulge in front.
I normally like Adam Sandler, but this one offered nothing new and very few laughs…so “Skip It.”
SHOULD KIDS SEE IT? Not this one. This Adam Sandler/Judd Apatow (Knocked Up and 40 Year Old Virgin) movie goes way beyond crude, and it is relentless throughout.
