With a cover shot of Adam Sandler’s crotch prominently displayed, who knew the unrated version of “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” would feature so much of his (or a double’s) exposed back side? While you don’t mess with this kung-fu like master Israeli warrior, he messes with quite a few women past a certain age. That’s after becoming the hottest hairdresser in New York City.
In the end, this bizarre crotch-grinding “morality play” has Jewish and Palestinian New Yorkers finding enough common ground to give peace a chance.
I’ve got to stop watching these extended version movies, because they do seem to go on. The bonus features seemed to last as long as the movie. However, the segments featuring director Dennis Dugan (who also played the homeless guy in his undies) were entertaining and make me think he would be a great dinner guest, but probably not house guest.
