You Don't Mess with the Zohan
A Legendary Israeli Special Forces Soldier fakes his death to start a new life in New York.
1 January 1982, Haifa, Israel
26 June 1940, New York City, New York, USA
March 3, 1989 in Sandpoint, Idaho, USA

Director Dennis Dugan knows his way around shin-whacking slapstick, and Sandler is mesmerizing.

This moviegoer has no trouble with lowbrow comedy. The problem with Zohan, however, is that it's like a kid who tells you a silly joke, gets a laugh, and immediately tells the same joke again.

...the latest in a long line of underwhelming Adam Sandler comedies...
December 28, 2010
I know someone out there must like these things, because Sandler keeps getting the money to make what is turning out to be the same movie over and over again, but I must not be tuned into his comedy wavelength.

Another sloppily concocted and naggingly non-controversial pretext for Sandler to pelvic thrust his way though a succession of increasingly wacky fish-out-of-water situations.

I'm all for politically incorrect humor, but there has to be humor in the political incorrectness, and I didn't get it here.

The ideas and some of the individual bits in Zohan work, but the crudeness of the execution undermines the results.

It's perhaps not much of a schtick, but it's a cohesive schtick, with the sub-schticks of the entire cast well integrated in support and counterpoint.
