Trivia:
Adam Sandler's character Zohan was loosely based off of a real-life hairstylist named Nezi Arbib in Solana Beach of San Diego, California. Sandler and the film crew came to the stylist (who was in fact a former Israeli soldier turned stylist) in order for Sandler himself to learn different hairstyling techniques and mannerisms. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: In the hacky sack tournament scene, the Israeli team plays against the Lebanese team, yet the Israeli flag is shown with the Palestinian flag. moreSoundtrack:

I walked into the theater with my brain shut off. And if you enjoy Adam Sandler, you have to. If you go by typical standards, all of Adam Sandler's movies are absolute garbage. But yet people still love them, I am one of them.
I went into this looking to have fun watching a movie, and I did. Yes, it was ridiculous in every possible way, but it was pretty much exactly what I was paying to see, Adam Sandler's sense of humor running rampant with all of his friends holding down bit parts.
If you are looking for a high quality, well thought-out story with twists and turns and an ending that ties it all together and leaves you walking out of the theater satisfied, look elsewhere.
But if you aren't easily offended and are a fan of Adam Sandler's work, then you'll have fun with the silky smooth goodness that Zohan brings to the table.
