You Don’t Mess With The Zohan is a 2008 comedy film starring Adam Sandler and Emmanuelle Chriqui.
Zohan features Sandler as Zohan, a Mossad agent who’s dissatisfied with his life as a military man, and wants to become a hair dresser in New York. As such he decides to fake his own death and escape to the United States, which he does while pursuing a villain known as The Phantom (played by John Turturro). He takes on a new identity, ‘Scrappy Coco’, but has trouble getting the job he wants.
Eventually Zohan gets the position he wants at the salon of a woman named Dhalia (Chriqui) - however at first he’s known more for the fact that he ‘pleases’ middle-aged women in the back of the shop after the haircut, which most people must admit isn’t half bad most of the time.
But his identity doesn’t stay secret forever, and soon Zohan must escape the attacks of not only new terrorists but those of The Phantom, who comes to New York for revenge.
