From NetFlix:
Adam Sandler also stars as the titular Zohan, an Israeli
counterterrorism soldier with a secretly fabulous ambition to
become a Manhattan hairstylist, in this comedy he co-wrote with
Judd Apatow (Knocked Up) and Robert Smigel. Zohan’s desire runs so
deep that he’ll do anything — including faking his own death and
going head to head with an Arab cab driver (Rob Schneider) — to
make his dreams come true
This movie is:
juvenile,
crude,
maudlin,
offensive,
mostly constant sexual references.
I enjoyed it in what must have been roughly 90 minutes of weakness.
The movie has a mission: convince the audience that Israelis and Palestinians should stop
fighting and live in peace. I found myself wondering how audiences in either Israel or
Palestine would receive this movie. I assume Adam Sandler is Jewish. I only wish that
John Tarturro (his Palestinian nemesis) was Palestinian instead of being Italian.
I LOVE TRASH!
