The Zohan played by Adam Sandler is the new Israeli steroetype. A good hearted super human killer with a soft spot and a big heart. He only wishes to schtupp the bubbelahs until until their pupik tingles.
Yet he only seeks peace and falls for a beautiful Palestinian hairdresser and unites with his terrorist adversary played by John Turturro (of course he is the brother of his love interest) to take down the waspy evil real estate developer. Waspy Whitey just can not break through the sterotype.
Some may cringe at the oversexed Israeli killer/ hairdresser, but hey this is a comedy. If you can not understand that then you should ferstundt the fagellahs and just plotz.
I loved it, but I question how many viewers would appreciate how well Sandler plays the stereotype.
Oy.
