My dad made the horrible mistake of letting me watch this with my grandparents and friend; REALLY AWKWARD. I think if your under 8 or 7, half the think fly right past your head. Right after I stopped the movie my friend said, "I can't get those images outa my head!".

What Parents Need to Know
About You Don't Mess with the Zohan
Parents need to know that You Don't Mess with the Zohan is a classic Adam Sandler movie: Crude, impolitic, and riddled with sexual jokes, swearing, and offhand nudity (including a couple of shots of Sandler's bare butt). For exactly those reasons, it's very likely to attract his usual fan base, many of whom are teens. The film pokes fun at everything and everyone -- the elderly, political assassins, homosexuals, cabdrivers, racists, hairdressers, women with breast implants -- and often teeters on the line between funny and downright insulting. But, believe it or not, it's all in the name of the heartwarming (if cliched) message that love -- and, for that matter, personal goals -- triumphs over war and politics.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about Sandler's brand of crude humor. Clearly, the film is using exaggeration for comic effect, but do they cross the line? If so, when, and who defines what "the line" is in the first place?
- Do you think Sandler needs to rely on stereotypes to arrive at his message about transcending differences in the name of happiness?
- Does the crude humor take away from the movie or help it succeed?

Not what was expected
I saw this movie for my birthday with some friends and it was not at all what I expected it to be. The trailer was funny and had few if any sexual references but the entire movie focused around Sandler's large male parts. Looking back on it now that I am older I find it funny but before it was a little embarrassing to show to some of my friends who are not very mature about sexual themes in the first place.

Funny Movie, Too many Sex Jokes.
Funny Movie. Way Way Way too many Off color jokes though. It got to the point where it started to become uncomfortable watching it with others. He's constantly talking about getting "Sticky" with people. Not to mention all the jokes about how "Hard" he is. The movie would've been plenty funny without all this kind of stuff.

- I rate this title off for age 10 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate language
There are more innapropriate words than "goddamn," "s--t," "jackass," "screw," but they're in hebrew like fagela bushlaha and many others, If you do watch it with your children turn off the subtitles

Had to walk out ...
Inappropriate for any age! How it got a PG13 baffles me and why there wasn't a huge outcry over it. There are many scenes where Sandler's oversized erections are prominently featured and when did this become acceptable. Adam Sandler clearly has a sick mind and will stoop to anything to make a buck.

Adam Sandler was a comic genius in this movie!
This movie was hilarious and, though it had a couple of sexual remarks, it is appropriate for kids who are mature enough to see movies like this one. Excellent movie!

What is with movies today...
If I had five words to explain this movie, they would be, sex, sex, and more sex. If I compared this movie to another, it would be, the Love Guru. I say that, because it is not that funny, and there is too much sex for my carring. I just think that HollyWood is starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel for movies (or so it seems). I have seen a ton of R rated movies (mostly war films) and they are not as bad as this. Take for example the fact that he "dose" every customer that's hair he cuts. Don't see this, its just bad (both in the way of moral values, and its just not a good movie)

horrible
This movie is not appropriate for anyone under 21 years. i went and saw this with my parents and both of us were disgusted with the profanity and sex displayed in this movie. as an adam sandler fan i am very disappointed and do not ever want to go to another one of his movies again.
