Netflix delivered “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” the other day.  If you like weirdness and can deal with a movie on its terms and not yours, you, like me, will enjoy Zohan in spite of yourself.

However, someone in the props department needs a stern talking to.   The movie is about a supersoldier’s quest to leave his past life behind and become a hair stylist in America.  Early on, he takes an entry level job in a salon sweeping the floors, and the joke here is that he gets every…single…hair, usually before it hits the floor.

At one point, he switches from broom and dustpan to a Dyson DC16 hand vac, vacuuming the client during the cut.  The DC16 has a cool, high-tech look unlike anything else on the market, so it’s a great choice for a movie.  But Zohan was using the standard DC16, and therein lays the problem.

Everyone knows that if you want a handheld for vacuuming hair, the one you want is the DC16 Animal hand vac.  That model has a motorized brushbar specially designed to pick up hair.

It’s the kind of thing that can really ruin a movie.
