Well, this is yet another movie created by Happy Madison Production with your director Dennis Dugan. The writers are Adam Sandler, which also is the lead actor in the film, Robert Smigel, and Judd Apatow. This film is definitely not for kids and those that are offended by racial jokes. The target is mainly the mature audience that can take a joke without getting offended; at least that’s my opinion.
The story is about an Israeli counter terrorist, Zohan, who is the best of the best, the superman of Israeli (but he can’t fly, yet he can…yea I’ll not spoil that.) He is well known in his country and has everything he can possibly want, however what he didn’t have was his passion to style hair. During a mission with his arch enemy, The Phantom, he purposely faked his death and escaped to New York City to become a hair stylist.
Throughout the movie, he builds his character, meets new friend as well as old villains, tries to make his dream come true to be the best hairstylist, and finds true love in his life as well as in the community where the fighting between Israeli and Palestine continue where he works at. We all heard about the stories and wars between the two countries, creating a comedy film based on peace between two angered nations wouldn’t obviously be the solution, but at least a start to all the madness.
This movie was far out the funniest I’ve seen in Adam Sandler films, I really never laughed so hard. Most scenes in the movie are ultimately unexpected, especially with the old ladies! Let’s just say Zohan takes GILF or rather G-GILF hunting to the next level. (GILF – grandmother | GG – great grandma xD).
The music used in this movie are disco music and old school music we all used to listen to when our mom drove the car, which were pretty great when you think about it. I think I’m going to go through my old audio cassettes later on.
When I was watching it, I was laughing at all the jokes towards the Palestine and Israeli. Everybody was laughing at those jokes; however what Jeff noticed is when the jokes about the rednecks came, the only people laughing were at least 10% of the audience. I was too busy enjoying the film laughing my ass off to even notice that occurrence, but it’s pretty interesting on how the audience reacts isn’t it.
Overall, I give this movie a 5 out of 5 actually, I don’t care what others say, this is a must see movie. Great Job on making this film Happy Madison Production.
jb's input: o-o Seriously we were the only ones laughing at that joke. I'd buy the soundtrack but not the dvd, one time with that movie is enough for me.
