TODAY: We mess with the Zohan by reviewing the bizarre 2008 Adam Sandler comedy following an Israeli super soldier who defects to the US when he tires of "all the fighting going on over there" in order to be a successful American sex criminal and Salon owner.
Probably the most bizarre Sandler outing, the effort sees the star trying to make comedy with liberal zionism and (more effectively) ruthlessly depicting a revolting Israeli culture.
In Zohan, we see two Israelis: the uber mensch zionist warrior from Jewish lore, and the deluded narcissist who can't stop sexually harassing people and getting into screaming matches with female service workers.
Luckily this contradiction doesn't need to be resolved as we discover the bloody conflict is really being orchestrated by nefarious WASP mall developers (not that wrong actually)
