You Don't Mess With The Zohan

language

There is a single use of strong language ('f**k'), as well as a clipped use of 'motherf**ker'.

sex

There are frequent moderate sex references, some of which are quite crude. In one scene, a character washes a woman's hair as if to mimic sexual intercourse; as the woman smears shampoo over her chest she licks her lips in a salacious manner. The innuendo is moderate, but the scene as a whole is comic. There is a scene of implied sexual activity as a bare chested man is seen apparently thrusting into a woman; the space between the characters' heads and waists is masked by furniture, so there is no detail, and the scene as a whole is comic.

additional issues: There are moments of moderate slapstick violence, all of which are intentionally silly, and not particular realistic; this includes a scene in which a man stabs another man's limb and his prosthetic hand falls off, resulting in a small amount of bleeding. Some of the humour throughout the film relies on racial stereotyping; there are portrayals of, and references to: Jewish mothers, Palestinians, gay hairdressers, and women who presented as nothing other than sex objects. There are comic scenes involving animals, which include a cat getting kicked around, and a cow being used as a punch bag. In both instances, the animals are clearly not real.

Contains frequent moderate sex references and one use of strong language
