Welcome to Movie Shortens. Follow us today to a 2008 American action comedy film
called: You Don't Mess With The Zohan. Before we start, be aware: there are spoilers!
As we start the film, we see Zohan walking through a crowd on the beach, and he plays multiple games
with some of the beach goers, and even a wild bull. Later, Zohan and his friend Danny
are having a cookout with some beautiful women. The food is served, but everything is interrupted
by the military as Zohan is summoned for a mission, much to his displeasure. He leaves
and is brought to a military base to have a debriefing on a terrorist known as "Phantom".
Zohan asks how the Phantom escaped, since Zohan had arrested him 3 months prior.
He is informed that Phantom was traded to get back some of their own spies. Later that evening,
Zohan gears up for the mission, but also pulls out a book detailing different hairstyle
fashions and begins to look through it. At dinner, his mother asks what is wrong with him.
Zohan asks what his parents would think about him leaving the army for a new life.
Both Zohan's parents laugh at the idea, telling him to play things safe and stay with the army.
Zohan confides he wants to be a hairstylist, but his parents simply break out into laughters
and make fun of his dream. The next day, the mission begins,
and he infiltrates Phantom's hideout, taking down the armed guards around the property. Zohan
eventually reaches Phantom, but Phantom makes a quick escape out a window. Zohan sprints after
Phantom, who speeds away on a jet ski. Zohan immediately takes to the water,
and swims mightily after Phantom. Zohan catches up to Phantom and disables the jet ski.
Phantom then takes a passerby’s kayak and attacks Zohan with the paddle.
They then argue about their toughness and attempt to one-up each other in proving this.
They then play ping pong with a deadly weapon and it eventually explodes. Zohan disappears,
leaving only his swim trunks and Phantom claims them for his victory. However, Zohan
is indeed alive and swims away underwater. He flies to America, stowing away in a dog kennel.
He makes conversation with two cute dogs, claiming that the fighting in his country will never end.
During the flight, he disguises himself using his hairstyling skills and upon landing,
he escapes into the airport crowd. Zohan takes a taxi to go to the Paul Mitchell Hair
Salon in New York. He arrives at the salon and is in awe of what he beholds. Later, he introduces
himself and asks to see Paul Mitchell about a job. He is told Paul isn't available and is made fun of
for his outdated hairstyle. Disappointed, he jumps on top of a car and rides it down the street.
Zohan comes across a car accident in which a cyclist, Micheal, was also involved. Zohan
approaches the scene and confronts one of the angry drivers. Zohan ends up subduing the man
with Martial Arts, and even fixes the other driver's vehicle with a single punch.
Micheal tries to find out where Zohan is from, but Zohan lies to him about it. Later that evening,
Zohan has dinner with Micheal and his mother, Gail. Afterwards, the duo go out to a club in
the city to have a good time. Zohan tries to give Micheal advice on how to interact with women,
then goes to the DJ to play some music to set the mood. While having fun with the DJing,
Zohan gets recognized by Oori, who is a huge fan of Zohan, but Zohan explains to Oori
exactly why he left all the fighting back home and denies his own identity.
Later, Zohan makes his way down to Oori's store. Oori then introduces Zohan to Yosi, and Zohan
asks Oori for a job at his electronics store. Oori denies him a job, stating that Zohan has to chase
his dreams instead of settling for less. Oori then points Zohan to a nearby salon
who would offer him employment. Oori also mentions the salon is owned by Palestinians, and Zohan
immediately refuses the recommendation. Oori also shows Zohan that Phantom is successful and doing
well back in their home country, even owning a restaurant. Oori continues to push Zohan to
apply for a job at the nearby salon, and so Zohan eventually goes over to see about a position.
Dancing his way across the street, Zohan meets salon owner Dalia. Dalia questions Zohan's lack of
experience in hairstyling, so he goes to perform some of his other skills to convince her. Yet
she isn't persuaded. She eventually caves in and allows him to work part time sweeping up hair.
Zohan begins his work and fully commits to the perfection of his hair sweeping employment.
He practices his hairdressing in the evenings with Gail and even Micheal.
Some time later, Dalia asks to speak to Zohan in private about disturbing some of the stylists
while they work. During the evening, one of the hairstylists, Claude, shows Zohan some styling
techniques, and Zohan even takes a night job as a cab driver to make ends meet.
The next day, Zohan tries to make small talk and compliment some of the women
who have come to get their hair done, but fails spectacularly. Dalia grabs him aside to
correct him on how he talks to the customers, reminding him to respect the workplace.
Later on, the salon gets a call that one of the stylists has quit. Claude confesses this
is due to the new rent prices and job uncertainty. Zohan takes the opportunity to volunteer to fill
the vacant position. Dalia doesn't want Zohan to mess things up, but Zohan insists he is the best
solution for her problems. A customer rushes Dalia for her turn and asks for Zohan instead.
He ceases this chance by showering lots of compliments and his unique way of styling.
The customer is extremely satisfied with Zohan's styling, and even other customers
begin to take notice. Soon, the lines are out the door at the salon for Zohan
as his popularity soars with the customers in the city. Even Paul Mitchell himself calls Zohan to
offer employment, but Zohan turns him down. Zohan also tries to give advice to Claude
on how to pick up some of the customers that come to the salon. Claude is hesitant,
but joins in on Zohan's advice. Outside, Salim, a Palestinian taxi driver,
pulls up to drop off some women at the salon. He instantly recognizes Zohan through a flashback
when Salim and Zohan were in the military. Salim threw a sandal at Zohan’s back
so Zohan punched him and took his goat. Ever since, Salim bears a grudge against Zohan.
Salim drives away, and meets with some of his friends Nasi and Hamdi, exposing Zohan's identity.
Later on, Salim sends Nasi into Dalia's salon to investigate Zohan. Nasi is charmed by Zohan
and ends up leaving quite late. Nasi reports back to Salim that Zohan was super cool,
but is unsure about him as a Special Agent. Salim is adamant that he knows Zohan's true identity.
Later, Salim, Nasi and Hamdi try to formulate a plan to capture Zohan. They go to a local
pharmacy to gather materials needed to make a weapon, but end up with the wrong items.
Meanwhile, Dalia deals with the ongoing rent issue, and vows to keep working even with the
water shut off. Dalia is informed that the new building owner, Mr. Walridge wants to relocate
Dalia's salon into his new mall he plans to build. After the confrontation, Zohan realizes his true
feelings for Dalia and confesses to her. Upon closing time at the salon,
Salim attacks the salon with his misused weapon when Zohan leaves the shop. Nasi tries to tell
Salim that it wasn't the weapon Salim thought it to be, but Salim will hear none of it.
At dinner, Oori suggests that maybe someone is out to get Zohan, almost revealing Zohan's
true identity. Micheal volunteers to look for clues as part of the Community Night Watch.
Oori volunteers Zohan to take Micheal's shift, and Zohan agrees to go.
During the patrol, fellow Community Watchman Kevin expresses his fear of something going
wrong with the patrol. Zohan spots some hooligans spray painting the salon and orders them to stop.
The hooligans threaten Zohan and Kevin, but he easily beats them up, to Kevin's amazement.
The next day, Waldrige is upset that the hooligans they hired got beat by Zohan. Walridge
wants things sped up to build his mall, but his employees state the shop owners to be difficult
to persuade. Walbridge is furious and threatens to fire them if they can't get the job done.
Meanwhile, Walridge hires some goons to help get rid of the neighborhood shop owners.
They accept his offer, and express their distaste at certain laws in America.
Salim and his friends try to find Phantom by locating his restaurant.
Salim dials the number and asks to speak to Phantom. Phantom finally answers and Salim informs
him that Zohan is alive. Salim sends Phantom a photo as proof, and they negotiate a reward
for Salim to keep the information to himself. After a questionably successful negotiation,
Salim and his friends celebrate. Later on, Zohan offers some friends
tickets to a Hacky Sack match that Walridge has given him. Oori pulls Zohan aside to show him
that Phantom will be coming to the match for Zohan and exposing his identity.
Phantom readies and trains himself for the big fight, while Zohan reveals his identity to Micheal
and Gail. Later that night, Zohan confesses to Dalia, but she rejects him once she finds out
the truth, and she asks him to leave. Before he leaves, she gives him a new hairstyle book.
Across the city, Zohan assembles a team to take down Phantom.
At the match, Walridge gives an introduction, and Mariah Carey sings the national anthem.
The game begins and Phantom goes to introduce himself to Mariah.
Suddenly, Zohan swoops in and they begin to fight. Zohan gets a call from Micheal. Michael tells him
Walridge's goons are vandalizing the salon. Zohan abandons the fight and races to save the
salon. Upon arrival, it is found that all the Palestinian and Israeli shops have been vandalized
and burned, and Phantom goes to save the shops. Zohan rushes to help Phantom by quelling the fire
with Hummus. Phantom asks why Zohan helped him and Zohan states he is done with fighting.
Phantom attacks Zohan multiple times but Zohan refuses to lift a finger. Phantom can't understand
why Zohan won't fight, and Dalia appears and explains that Zohan has changed,
and reveals Phantom is her brother. Dalia expreses her love for Zohan and
Phantom is mortified. Dalia explains that there is no reason for all the hate or fighting.
They all find common ground and Zohan even apologizes to Salim for taking away Salim's goat.
Zohan spots the goons responsible for the damage, and realizes Walridge is behind everything.
Zohan and Phantom go to stop the goons and Phantom reveals he always wanted to go to America
and be a shoe salesman. They find a lot in common in each other's dreams and go to defeat the
goons together using Marital Arts and The Sound. Walridge arrives and is immediately arrested.
Some time later, a new mall opens up and everyone is happy.
Phantom has his shoe shop, Salim sells goat rides, and Zohan is thriving in a brand new salon.
