Adam Sandler's new movie, You Don't Mess With the Zohan, kicked its way into theaters this Friday, knocking in $40 million and proving violence is not always the answer in a comedic way that can only be expected from Sandler and his all-star cast.
In this flamboyantly over-the-top perspective of Israeli and Palestinian culture, there are a ton of laughs whether it's due to Sandler's ridiculous outfit choices or his excessive use of tribal hummus for anything and everything, including putting out a fire.
This film was an entertaining tale of tolerance and love, wrapped behind a story of two ethnicities dealing with hate in a time of war. Zohan Dvir (Adam Sandler), a Mossad agent for the Israeli army, dreams of peace and going to America to cut and style hair. When he is laughed out of his parents' home, being deemed a "faggola" by his own father, Zohan sees no other choice but to fake his own death in order to reemerge in the US as a spunky hairstylist who woos his clients by giving them "special services" after each cut and making them feel young again.
