An Israeli counterterrorism soldier with a secretly fabulous ambition to become a Manhattan hairstylist. Zohan's desire runs so deep that he'll do anything -- including faking his own death and going head-to-head with an Arab cab driver -- to make his dreams come true.

VIBE

This film feels like a boisterous, sun-drenched explosion of slapstick and cultural satire. It's a relentlessly silly, over-the-top journey of self-reinvention, brimming with physical gags and a surprisingly sweet core about finding common ground. Expect a loud, feel-good romp that never takes itself seriously.
