You Don't Mess With the Zohan

USA 2009 | 113 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

Zohan Dvir, a powerful and iniquitous Mossad agent, wants to change professions to hairstyling. He escapes to the US, where he finds a job at a New York salon and quickly turns into a local star. But his past comes back to haunt him in the form of “The Phantom” – the Palestinian fighter who was Zohan’s sworn enemy. While the two plan on eliminating one another, they discover a greater enemy hovering over the two of them. You Don’t Mess with the Zohan puts our local conflict into the Hollywood grinder and comes out with an entertaining and irreverent summer comedy, full of Adam Sandler’s familiar and beloved vulgar humor. With Sandler’s absurd accent and hairdo, the result is a welcome satire.
