Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaZohan was loosely based on Nezi Arbib, a hairstylist and former Israeli soldier in Solana Beach, California. Arbib taught Adam Sandler and the film crew different hairstyling techniques, while Sandler learned Arbib's mannerisms.
- Goofs(at around 1h 28 mins) Israel plays Lebanon in the hacky sack tournament, yet the Israeli flag is shown with the Palestinian flag. There is actually a mix of Palestinian and Lebanese (cedar tree) flags in the crowd, large numbers of Palestinians still live in refugee camps in Lebanon and would support any team playing against Israel.
- Alternate versionsThe unrated version runs almost four minutes longer than the theatrical version and includes many extended scenes.

Featured review
It made me laugh for most of the movie
If your expectations are high going into movies like this, then please, do yourself a favor and never watch a movie again. This is an Adam Sandler movie and we all know what he's like and what type of humor we're going to expect.....and this movie is no different.
I wanted to laugh, and this movie did just that for me and more! Being from Israel, I found his jokes funny and very witty. I don't know if none-Israeli's would find half the jokes funny though.
The movie tried to delve into the whole Israeli-Arab conflict, but it doesn't go deep enough to make much of a point.
See the movie if you wanna laugh, A lot, but don't see it if your looking for a an Oscar movie night.
