Movie Review - Zohan is not Kosher



Watched the movie ‘You don’t mess with Zohan’ yesterday and it certainly wasn’t you should not miss Zohan variety, then which Adam Sandler movie is huh? This is one of the usual movies that Sandler and Rob Schneider make that has one of them starring in it. Unusually though both of them make longer appearances.

Sandler’s padded crotch plays a main role in the casting as most of the supposedly comic scenes revolve around it. The movie tries to provide a solution to age old Jew v/s Arab problem. Adam plays a Mossad agent who is tired of being the one man army and who has a secret desire of becoming a hair stylist in New York.

It is an understatement to say that this movie is gross. Adam’s body double has worked overtime in this movie for some butt scenes. The credits at the end kept rolling Adam Sandler’s name in one role or the other from starring to co-writing so we can conclude that the entire fault lies with him for creating such a dreadful movie.

The only thing positive that caught my eye in the entire movie was Emmanuelle Chriqui, she was really cute, and was worth my ticket price. The other surprise was upna Bappi da ka sound track Jimmy aajaa aajaa which was used as a background score towards the end of the movie. Otherwise I got the impression that this team seems to have lost steam and have no ideas left in the tanker. Take a break guys and come back refreshed.

On a final note the intention was good the execution was horrible, if only the problems in our life were so easy to deal with. What everyone should learn though is to take a joke with a pinch of salt, as in the movie when an Arab guy tells another Arab who has a very long beard that he would be scarred to travel with him on the same plane.
