Adam Sandler in his latest comedy role.
You Don't Mess With The Zohan(12A)
Starring Adam Sandler, John Turturro Emmanuelle Chriqui and Rob Schneider
The latest installment of Adam Sandler's comedic adventures provides him with perhaps the most unusual and zaniest role of his career. He plays Zohan Dvir, a secret agent operating for The Mossad in Israel. He decides that he would rather pursue his passion for hairdressing than continue being an agent and comes up with an elaborate plot involving faking his own death as a means of achieving his aim. “The Zohan”, eventually ends up searching for employment in New York which proves to be a tougher task than he expected but finally he manages to secure a job in a Palestinian salon run by Dhalia(Chriqui). He succeeds in becoming a stylist after the elder women in New York develop a fondness for his methods which include certain misdemeanours behind closed doors in the salon.
However Zohan's past endeavours in Israel catch up with him when he is recognised by a Palestinian taxi driver named Salim(Schneider). Phantom(Turturro), an enemy of Zohan is informed of the latest developments and is determined to enact his revenge. Meanwhile Zohan begins to realise that he has fallen in love with Dhalia but the situation becomes further complicated when he learns that she is the sister of Phantom.
