This is an Adam Sandler movie, don't go if you do not like him. If you do like him, as I do, then it is really funny, ironic, crazy and in the end also makes you think. There are a lot of sexual references, I watched it with my teenager kids and yes, we were laughing a lot together. I would not say it is a family movie, but definitely can entertain both parents and teenage kids at the same time. John Turturro is very funny even if one would with the script to leave him more free to act, unfortunately he is only playing the lunatic. In the end I really recommend this movie, alone or together with family, I laughed all the time. Maybe not a good idea for date movie though...

You Don't Mess With the Zohan (2008): Dir: Dennis Dugan / Cast: Adam Sandler, Jon Turturro, Emmanuelle Chrique, Rob Schneider, Nick Swardson: Hilarious film about achieving your goals in a different destination. Adam Sandler plays Zohan, an Israeli counter terrorist who fakes his own death, only to embark on his dream in America as a hair stylist. While formula in structure director Dennis Dugan creates his best film to date after having made such embarrassments as Big Daddy and Problem Child. The terrorist jokes are hilarious but the sexual jokes are more stomach turning than funny. Sandler creates one of his best comic characters. Zohan desires to start new and reinvent himself with a more positive image. Jon Turturro steals scenes as a terrorist who secretly desires to be a shoe salesman. Emmanuelle Chriqui plays Zohan's love interest in what first gets drown in formula romantic clichés until a secret is revealed that adds a peaceful spin on the circumstance. Rob Schneider is hilarious as a Palestinian cab driver who holds a grudge against Zohan after losing his goat. He will inform Turturro of his whereabouts although that gains him even less respect. Nick Swardson plays a friend whom Zohan hooks up with and like anything Swardson does, he fails to be normal. Lots of gravity defying special effects are featured throughout as well as a message of starting over. Score: 9 / 10

Well, well well. This movie is a real treat. Sure it is over the top, but it is so funny and entertaining you won't regret buying it and watching it over and over. Rob Schnieder is in it and is even funnier than his role in water boy and all other roles combined! John Tuturo is the arch rival of Sandler in the film, and is very funny. Of all the Sandler films, I rate this one as his best, with water boy a close second. I would even add a star if you are from NY or California where the stereotypes in the movie are very realistic. There are funny appearances from many Saturday Night Talents such as Chris Rock and Kevin N. and Mariah Carey is funny as well. Life is too short to sweat this purchase, buy it, enjoy it and get some well needed laughter in a world that takes itself much too seriously.
