Tired of all the fighting in his country, legendary Israeli commando Zohan (Adam Sandler) fakes his own death and goes to New York, where he can fulfill his fondest dream: to become a hairstylist. Zohan's sexy way with a cut and curl makes him a hit with Manhattan's women, but when enemy Arabs spot him, Zohan has to call on his military skills if he is ever to wield scissors again.

Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B- Apr 21, 2012 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review St. Louis Post-Dispatch Rated: C- Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Eddie Harrison The List ...attempts to ring humour from topical subjects like home-made bomb-making sit uneasily with Sandler’s obvious ambitions to political gravitas, with the gags drying up in favour of an climactic mix of sentiment and action... Rated: 2/5 Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies You Don't Mess With the Zohan is hysterical and gives Adam Sandler one of his finest comedic roles in a comedy that puts its own spin on the conflict and need for peace. Rated: 4/5 Jun 6, 2023 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz America's favourite man-child returned to his routinely mediocre and mildly misogynist formula with this 2008 "comedy".
