Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaZohan was loosely based on Nezi Arbib, a hairstylist and former Israeli soldier in Solana Beach, California. Arbib taught Adam Sandler and the film crew different hairstyling techniques, while Sandler learned Arbib's mannerisms.
- Goofs(at around 1h 28 mins) Israel plays Lebanon in the hacky sack tournament, yet the Israeli flag is shown with the Palestinian flag. There is actually a mix of Palestinian and Lebanese (cedar tree) flags in the crowd, large numbers of Palestinians still live in refugee camps in Lebanon and would support any team playing against Israel.
- Alternate versionsThe unrated version runs almost four minutes longer than the theatrical version and includes many extended scenes.

Featured review
I can't believe the amount of people slagging off this movie. If you didn't want to see what you saw, why did you go see it?
I think some people have their genres confused when they start talking about 'shedding light on conflict' blah blah. What the hell? It's an Adam Sandler movie not Schindler's list.
It's not the greatest flick there ever was, but it did give me a great laugh! So what if the humor is silly? Most of his movies have an ample dosage of silly that I for one thoroughly appreciate!
I think Don't Mess with the Zohan is best seen knowing nothing about it and having no expectations. Therefore I'm not going to tell you the whole story aside from the ending like so many people. It's not about the story anyway.
In short, to those that appreciate humor of the Adam Sandler/Will Ferrel brand.
Get into it!
--Also for the ladies, Adam Sandler looks so very HOT in this!
