Upon seeing this movie, I had a sense of hope that maybe Adam Sandler could make me laugh the way he did when I was 12. Apparently, I matured, and he digressed. You Don’t Mess with the Zohan was probably one of the worst movies I have seen all year. The movie basically repeated the same joke over and over again. Yes, we get it, Zohan’s got a big package, wants to be a hair stylist and feels no pain as he performs humanly impossible maneuvers and turns people into pretzels. The movie doesn’t offer much else — well, if you ignore the complete oversimplification of the Palestinian–Israeli conflict (which would be okay if it was clever and actually funny) and a cast with horrible, horrible fake accents.

The special features include actor and director commentaries as well as some deleted scenes. There are many featurettes such as a gag reel and "Look Who Stopped By." And yes, Mariah Carey makes an appearance.

Verdict: Pass It
