Summary: Laughed Non-Stop from Beginning to End--What Else is There to Say?
Comment: I had heard very bad things about this movie, so I was skeptical. I watched it, though, and this is a classic. I literally laughed from beginning to end. The movie was hilarious. Do you like most Sandler movies? Did you like Pinneaple Express? How about Pootie Tang? Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle? If you answered yes to most of these, you will love this movie.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not great but touching....
Comment: If you want to see a pleasant, silly and harmless movie in which Adam Sandler plays an extrememly sweet, kind, super-heroish isreali agent who really just wants to make people beautiful. I laughed sometimes, smiled more and was impressed with the compassion Mr.Sandler radiated off the screen.I think women may like this more than men, surprisingly. If you are looking for a pleasant, light couple of hours, rent this.

Summary: Semi Inspired Goofiness
Comment: Adam Sandler has always been an enigma to me. I never liked him on "SNL" finding him whiny and annoying. He's had his moments on the big screen with "Happy Gilmore" and "Anger Management". His high point was probably "Punch-Drunk Love" but I attribute that to auteur Paul Thomas Anderson finding the perfect actor for his vision. Daniel Day-Lewis Sandler ain't. I came to "Zohan" intrigued by the concept of an Israeli counter-terrorist with a secret desire to become a hair stylist. Despite the intermittent crudity the film works with a passable laugh quotient. What I didn't expect was Sandler, who produced the film, making a plea for peace in the Middle East. Sure, it's not a profound plea but, hey, what do you expect from a Sandler movie. Sandler is good as is John Torturro as Zohan's Palestinian opposite, the Phantom. Rob Schneider, buddy of Sandler and forever to be branded as the photocopier guy, has a nice bit as a Palestinian cabbie who ID's Zohan. I recommend the film with possible reservations to those with sensitive sensibilities.

Summary: I laughed
Comment: The silliness was over the top, I couldn't help it. SNL alumni and middle eastern comics and Chris Rock keep the viewer entertained ever when Zohan is present. Not tasteful or incisive but this is Sandler the comic. What did you expect?
Customer Rating:
Summary: Stop looking for thoughtful commentary on the middle east...it's just a Sandler movie.
Comment: What's with all the reviewers leaving bad reviews because this movie doesn't take seriously the Israel/Palestine conflict? It's an Adam Sandler movie, were you really looking for a serious analysis of an international crisis? Were you really expecting something deep or profound from the guy who made "Mr. Deeds"? Stop taking yourself so seriously and accept this movie for what it is, a goof-ball comedy based on physical humor and silly characters.
90% of Adam Sandler movies are terrible. They involve him acting like a retarded child (Billy Madison, Waterboy) or pandering to chick-flick movie cliches (Wedding Singer, Big Daddy). However, this one was very funny. Certainly better than most of the garbage he has put out over the past decade. The bad Israeli accents alone made me laugh out loud.
By the way, this movie probably is Sandler's best. Anybody over age 13 who thinks "Happy Gilmore" or "Billy Madison" is funny needs to be tested for lead-poisoning.

Comedy superstar Adam Sandler is back - and funnier than ever - as The Zohan, the finest counterterrorist agent the Israeli army has. That is, until he fakes his death and travels to Manhattan to live his dream...as a hairdresser. Now this skilled fighting machine who used to clip bad guys is out to prove he can make the cut as a top stylist. All goes silky smooth until his cover is blown when he's recognized by a Palestinian cab driver (Rob Schneider). Now, The Zohan must fight to live a peaceful new life in New York in this razor-sharp action-packed comedy from Adam Sandler, Robert Smigel, Judd Apatow and Dennis Dugan.
