Amazingly funny, and as an Israeli, I enjoyed it a lot!

The worst I have ever seen Adam Sandler do! I have a pretty warped sense of humour and found not only did movie drag on but it was very hard to follow at times as the scenes draged on and on to the point of it not being humourous anymore. walked out before it finished..

i compleatle agree with the last comment and i wanted to leave before it ended also, it had some funny jokes and i am a person who can find stupid funny, funny. but it just draged out all the jokes.

walked out earlt. Not very funny and so crude it should have been at least R rated.

There were three funny parts of the entire movie. The worst part of the movie was the propaganda regarding Zionist warmongering in the Middle East. Sandler promotes the idea that the current situation in the middle-east is from irrational Arab hatred of Jews, and not current Israeli Policies. F

This Movie is the bmb I watched it over and over again. My favorite part was when he was giving advice to the little kid not to move when having a hair cut.

It was very funny!!!!

actually it was very good but why the walbridge thing. the movie was only supposed to be about zohan developing in cutting hairs silky smooth. this movie could have been 2 times better.

This shouldnt have even been a movie. The storyline sucks, and well everything else SUCKED, I advise you not to waste your money on a movie so worthless!

disappointing. unnecessary and crude. some funny stuff, but most of the big laughs were shown in the trailer.
