Total junk but my 10 year old had hysterics watching it. Not so sure of its PG 6 rating in this country. Far too much sexual content.

Horrible. I give it one star for Rob Schneider's versatility. It made me realize how much he actually transforms into whatever ethnicity he is portraying. He is actually not a bad actor despite all of the awful films he has subjected me too. Adam Sandler looked terrific and h...( read more)

Adam Sandler has been trying to add a little social relevance to his recent comedies. Fortunately, You Don't Mess with the Zohan actually has some humor to go along with the social commentary. Much more so than I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.
The premise is pretty silly, a...( read more) -

Good for some laughs, and if you really have nothing else to do - or if you just feel like watching something dumb.
Critic Reviews
Director Dennis Dugan knows his way around shin-whacking slapstick, and Sandler is mesmerizing. full review
If one-note jokes that drag on too long or are worked into the ground aren't enough to trigger comic nausea, then perhaps the myriad uses of hummus will do the trick in You Don't Mess With the Zohan. full review
You can tsk-tsk Sandler's penchant for dumb, crass humor all you want, but there's some meaning behind his madness. Is there nothing more human, more humbling, than the idea of smelly feet? full review
Zohan tries for a message of social relevance with a nod to America as the land of multicultural coexistence, but its real value is in air-fluffing our cares away for a couple of hours. full review
Sandler works so hard at this, and so shamelessly, that he battered down my resistance. full review
Given the missed opportunities for sharpening silliness with satire, it's impossible not to mess with the Zohan. full review
Let me be blunt: You Don't Mess With the Zohan is the finest post-Zionist action-hairdressing sex comedy I have ever seen.
More annoying than the crassness, really, is the directorial sloppiness — which results in a virtually mirthless first half-hour. full review

March 21, 2009It was a great movie. Adam Sandler is funny. Come on if that there was not funny to you then you need to get La*d, cause you have no sense of humor at all. Not a children's movie at all though. The rating should of been higher. like a Rated R rating.He Can do better and HE WILL. I will always be a SANDMAN FAN
It isn't actually a childrens film it was a PG and PGS are not aimed for children I haven't seen this but I do want to it looks really good. -

July 30, 2008A bit extreme in some areas but good laughter. Sandler is always funny and entertaining maybe there is a lesson in it somewhere for the fractions overthere

July 14, 2008After the disappointment of Chuck and Larry, I was glad to see a Sandler movie in the style of his old films, the sophisticated jokes are incredibly funny, I enjoyed it.
