Review: You Don't Mess with the Zohan

Movies – From Israeli commando to New York hairstylist, Adam Sandler's latest creation is a bastion of raunchy comedy, with plenty of not so subtle political ideology. Flanked by his trusty sidekick Rob Schneider, Sandler unleashes his one of a kind and over the top comedy that hits the mark on many occasions but unfortunately, also misses rather magnificen
