You Don't Mess with the Zohan Audience Reviews

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
paulclaassen There's a reason why I don't like Adam Sandler films. This must be the worst. Stupid from beginning to end. There is not a single frame in this film that was good or remotely enjoyable. And what's with Adam's annoying accent?? Who concocts crap like this? Honestly! Slapstick in overdrive!
alexaugustoribeiro Excelente, sin precedentes, me muero de risa cada vez que la veo!
Paul Magne Haakonsen Let's be frank here, Adam Sandler was a big name back in the day, but now what he is putting out there is very, very generic and seems to follow the exact same 'how-to-make-a-comedy' recipe every single time. If you have watched one Adam Sandler movie ten you have essentially seen them all. And yes, while he does what he is good at, it has been worn thin already and not all that thrilling to watch his movies anymore.There were some hilarious scenes throughout this movie because of the absurdity of the scenes and how over-the-top it all was. But if you enjoy a good laugh then there are far better movies available. Most of the comedy found in "You Don't Mess With the Zohan" is what I would refer to as semi-cheap comedy.The cast ensemble was good for a comedy of this type, that is at least a plus. John Turturro and Rob Schneider were actually quite good in this movie."You Don't Mess With the Zohan" is a movie for the fans of Adam Sandler, no doubt about it. For the rest of us it is a movie that you watch once and most likely never again.
Troy Putland It shouldn't be a shock to the system that Adam Sandler can still churn out rubbish films. You Don't Mess with the Zohan is at the bottom of those rubbish films. His sporadic Israelian-special-agent-turned-hair-stylist is irritating. His accent is poor, and his mannerisms consist of shaking his crutch, pleasuring elderly ladies and saying 'no' repeatedly. None of these overused jokes are funny, and the same goes for everything else in between. A political stance on the ever present Palestinian - Israeli conflict is the strongest aspect of this comedy. It sits in the background, overshadowed by the silly puns. When Zohan's nemesis Phantom (Turturro) comes to New York, the humour picks up: the Israelis and Palestinians in New York squabble over western matters instead of important ones. A neat move that comes too late, as it's be a waste of 113 minutes of your life to stick around to the end.
