You Don't Mess with the Zohan
Lather. Rinse. Save the world.
The most skilled and deadly of Israel’s elite soldiers, Zohan (Adam Sandler), fakes his own death in order to make a new life for himself in New York as a professional hair stylist. Watching this film is frustrating. I laughed at several sequences; there’s funny ideas here, a cheerful silliness, and Mr. Sandler is pretty perfect as the supercharged killing machine with a dream. As always whenever Judd Apatow is involved the story goes on too long, however. Most of the jokes fall flat, but at least it doesn’t try to get too serious about its politics.

Adam Sandler is classic in his own way, though he tends to do his best work when he stays casual, not trying too hard to be funny or deep, etc.
