Don’t mess with the Zohan is a comedy mainly spoofing on the Isreali-Palestinian war. The makers have taken, what they thought as stuff from the Middle Eastern culture as props for jokes.
Adam Sandler as Zohan is an Isreali counter terrorist and aspires to be a hair stylist. He is sick and tired of the war and hate. He wants to stop fighting and start a new peaceful life. But his opinions are laughed upon by his own parents. He is just not taken seriously. So he fakes his own death and comes to the United States in pursuit of his dream. He finds that the Isreali and Palestinian immigrants here too carry some fear and prejudice of the each other. What’s more, he falls in love with a Palestinian girl.
How Zohan resolves the misunderstanding at least among the immigrants and teaches them to live with love and brotherhood is what the film basically is about.
The film doesn’t generate the amount of laughter that as a full- on comedy it should. a lot of sexual connotations in the jokes make them gross. but the message of the film is needed and makes for a good core.
Rating: 2.5/ 5
