You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)

I watched almost all Adam Sandler’s movies, starting from Billy Madison & Happy Gilmore (that is how his own home production company Happy Madison named).. You might have also seen his famous flicks like 50 First Dates, Bedtime Stories, Grown Ups & Just Go with It on Television Channels.. He started up his career as a standup comedian & now he has grown up as a popular American actor, comedian, screenwriter, musician, and film producer..


In my childhood days, I liked Jim Carrey ..
But now, Adam Sandler replaced Jim Carrey..
Was it due to the fact that
Jim Carrey mostly made laugh by making a fool of himself ?? - Certainly not :-)
When I thought of writing about one Adam Sandler’s movie here in my blog, I picked up You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008) , the one which I watched a couple of months back..
 

YDMwtZ (You Don’t Mess with the Zohan) is a movie about Zohan (Adam Sadler) - an Israeli superman (??) who is tired of war. To pursue his real dream of being a hairstylist, he fakes his death & moves to America.. But the seeds of the war (The Phanthom - played by John Turturro) he left behind are there waiting for him..



This movie was so funny, I couldn't stop laughing.. It was the kind of humor that you only discuss with your close friends, not with any one else..
The supporting cast was great too - especially Rob Schneider (an old rival of Zohan, who played as a Palestinian cab driver in New York) & Emmanuelle Chriqui (playing the Palestinian girl who ran the salon)..
 
You may find some negativity on the basis of politics & sex..
Lewd humor is thrown at every possible opportunity.. Yes, this movie gets a bit vulgar at times.. In particular, Zohan's sexual attempts with much elder woman would be disgusting for viewers..
So what ? - All those vulgar & non-sense stuffs are only meant to make the viewers laugh & yes it works too (atleast for me).. I can confidently say i was thoroughly entertained.. I laughed the entire way through..
If you are Adam Sandler’s fan – Don’t miss this Zohan..  

Disclaimer about Movie:
Many jokes in the movie were crude and exploited sexuality in a way that I have not seen before..
