Zohan (Adam Sandler) is an Israeli counterterrorist who desperately wants to become a hairdresser. Unfortunately for Zohan, he is Israel's best weapon of defense against Palestinian terrorists and no one can understand why he would want to leave the army. Even Zohan's parents laugh when he tells them about his life-long dream of making all the hair in the world "silky smooth."
There is no acting in this movie. There is, however, a group of former
SNL comics acting like a bunch of jackasses with several embarrassing
cameos including John McEnroe and Mariah Carey. One would've thought
Carey would have learned a lesson after "Glitter" and stayed far away
from the silver screen, but her ignorance prevailed. Though she may
have only appeared for a few minutes, Carey's astonishing lack of
comedic acting talent or natural charm is enough to haunt your dreams.
Along
with the annoyance of the high note-hitting diva, viewers will be
permanently scarred by disturbing visuals of Sandler engaging in
numerous sexual escapades with women in their fifties, sixties and
seventies.
After watching "Zohan," viewers will never be able
to eat hummus, or watch reruns of "The Facts of Life" without being
reminded of this cinematic horror. Not only was the content of this
"comedy" not at all funny, it was mind numbingly repetitive.
