Zohan Making Waves In The Movie World
His most recent comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry was slightly more politically minded than most of his films due to the subject matter of gay marriage. His new movie You Don’t Mess With the Zohan is also political, although not so much as Chuck and Larry.
You Don’t Mess With the Zohan centers on Zohan, an Israeli counter terrorist who is tired of the constant warring of his home land, and proceeds to fulfill his dream of becoming a hairdresser after faking his death.
Zohan moves to New York and becomes quite popular as a hairdresser, and also experiences the prejudices middle Easterns face in today’s society. Things get even worse when a group of Arab taxi cab drivers discover his former life and decide to kidnap him to send him back to Israel. In an effort to keep his new life, Zohan seeks to fight his would be kidnappers.
