Why watch this film?
"You Don't Mess with the Zohan" is one of Adam Sandler's most absurd movies, for better or worse. Thinking on the negative side, the movie exaggerates its jokes and crosses some moral boundaries that are uncomfortable without causing any kind of laughter, reflection, or amusement. It's just absurdity for the sake of absurdity, to shock an audience looking for free lowbrow comedy. However, on the positive side, this movie starring Sandler ("50 First Dates") and John Turturro ("The Big Lebowski") takes advantage of the comedy of the absurd to construct a plot that is neither here nor there: the story of a high-ranking military agent from Israel who fakes his own death in an attack by his arch-nemesis, the terrorist Phantom (Turturro), to fulfill his life's dream: to become a hairdresser in New York. It's ridiculous, it's tacky, it's absurd. But if you're looking for those exact attributes, you can have a good time.
