Don't mess with the Zohan

Don't mess with the Zohan

hmmm

Its alright. I think it was a bit self indulgent.

Sandle'rs Zohan, is possibly a bit too old. A quick wiki, tells me that the script is old. It was written in 2000. Before 9-11, before the Invasion of Iraq.  On one level, I thought Zohan made sense. He had the self confidence, of a truly strong man. On the other hand, why is he so defensive about cutting hair. Who else remembers Hightower, in the police academy film

Is anyone else confused, by the fact that Zohan, looks up, an advert on youtube. Yet Tel Aviv, and Eliat  is depicted as a 1970's disco backwater.

There is also a mention of Myspace. Mariah Carey,  is asked by John Turturro to add him as a friend. Again, why the disco fetish

Zohan, is the greatest Israeli, soldier of all time. He is however bored with his life. He fakes his own death, after battling with his Palestinan nemesis. So Zohan moves to New York, where he attempts to set up his own business as a hair dresser

There is a series of jokes, about Humus. Zohan, is seen even dunking a choclate bar in it.  Using it to put out  a fire.

My sister mentions, that Mariah Carey, appearance is notable. She must not have been able to control the camera angle.

Henry Winkler, gets another Cameo, as passenger in the Limo, Zohan drives one night. Ending up sick

Some of the best laughs, are from the board, of the evil landlord. They describe Humus, as a tasty  middle eastern, dish, with the consistency of the runs

George Takei gets a cameo. Now he is out of the closet.

6/10. I think Sascha Baron Cohen, or even Jason Issacs could have done better. Sandler needs to stand back.
