    Worst movie ever!!!!

    New low for Adam Sandler. He's had his weak moments before, with movies like Grown Ups and Little Nicky, but this...this is something else. Imagine if Jar Jar Binks and Fran Drescher had a daughter together, then put Sandler's dimwitted face on her, and voilá - you ... read morehave the character of Jill. As for Jack, he's kind of like Sandler on a bad day at work; a little grouchy and low on his blood sugar, with no real charisma. That's not the worst part though. Besides containing some of the lamest, laziest and most degenerate jokes ever written, it also somehow managed to drag Al Pacino and Johnny Depp into the mess. They got to be really close friends with Sandler, to willingly lend their talents to something as abysmal as this. A razzie-magnet of epically bad proportions, which despite a chuckle here and there, have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. I mean, I expected it to be bad, but this was just downright embarassing. Passing a kidney stone is more fun than this travesty of a movie. A complete and utter suck-fest, that makes his other comedies look like world-class entertainment. If you've never experienced a migraine before, you will after this. Because this is one of the worst, most excruciating and pointless films I've ever seen. An insult to the art of comedy, that makes me ashamed to have ever called myself a fan of Sandler's brand of humor. On a positive note though, here are some current results from the box-office:

    Production budget: $79 Million

    Total gross as of Feb. 12, 2012: $73,837,886

    The cold hard fact that they're losing money on this pile of s**t: Priceless!

    Jack and Jill is a hideous movie that aims for the lowest common denominator. This isn't comedy, it's desperation and laziness. Like many a comedian before him, Sandler has decided to take on duel roles as brother and sister. When will these people realise they are not Peter Sell... read moreers or Alec Guinness. It takes great skill to seamlessly integrate yourself as more than one character. Here all I saw was Sandler in drag. Jack and Jill is about Jack, a director of commercials trying to land Al Pacino in a Dunken Donuts commercial. His sister arrives for Thanksgiving and she is the most horrible human being you can imagine. This was my biggest problem with the movie. There is nothing to connect us with this foul waste of space. Like Mater in Cars 2, this character is infuriating, She has no people skills. SHe is offensive, ignorant, loud, and just revolting. Sandler must feel destroyed by his family in some way, because with this and Click, he shows himself as a decent hard working man, constantly shat on my his family. Holmes is the worst wife in the world, not to mention a bland character. She repeatedly enables Jill to continue acting the way she does. The film tries to squeeze out some emotion, but fails, because we hate this bitch. If she was bullied when she was young, then perhaps the film makers should have shown this. Pacino has a lot of fun as himself, but the only way I wasn't embarrassed was by imagining his pay cheque. On top of all this the jokes aren't funny and the editing is abysmal. One scene sets up a joke, as Jill must find her way home without a car, and then it skips the punchline and gives us one to a scene they never showed us. It's confusing. As is the moment when the movie tried to get laughs from showing the face of Felipe's grandmother. I didn't know why they kept showing her, but once I looked on IMDB, I saw the same actor played both Felipe and the grandmother. This joke doesn't work if you don't know that. The film avoids the lowest rating barely, by having some fun jokes. Such as Johnny Depp in a Justin Bieber T-Shirt, or Spade mocking Rob Schneider. Predictable, crude, heartless, and annoying. This is a film that must be hated.

    Wow Mr Sandler! what on earth is going on here!? I realise you are not exactly flavour of the month anymore but was this REALLY needed??

    Talk about shovelling the shit Jesus! there was a time when Sandler was quite amusing and his films about standing up for the average Joe's wh... read moreilst playing the typical everyman were fun, but that was along time ago. His childish toilet humour now seems completely redundant and boring and this film really is a prime example of how basic and pathetic his films now appear. Sandler plays himself (as usual) and his twin sister who also (surprisingly) turns out to be kinda like every other character Sandler has played, that's all you need to know.

    There is completely nothing here I can be positive about, its utter tripe from start to finish much like Martin Lawrence's 'Big Momma' 'comedy' films. What I can't believe is why Johnny Depp and Al Pacino would wanna star in a film like this for, its not like they need the work.

    After about 10 minutes into this film, I felt like I was sitting in an electric chair, knowing that I still have to wait another 80 minutes before I can get up. It is the type of movie that will have you yelling at Adam Sandler as his career slowly goes dow the toilet. Not only d... read moreoes this film have one of the most pointless plot lines in film history, but the fact that Adam Sandler has to result to playing a woman in order to make hollywood laugh, just shows that he truly has no passion for true comedy anymore. I hated every solitary frame of "Jack and Jill," it felt like I was watching montage of random bad clips from other sandler movies, but the entire film was like that. He has an indian kid (not explained), they celebrate thanksgiving, christmas, and new years all in the same weekend, they jumprope on a cruise to push one laugh on, al pacino should be ashamed of himself, and the list goes on and on. If is wasn't for countless other shitty films, "Jack and Jill" would be at the top. I don't have words to make a final comment about how bad this movie truly is!

    Adam Sandler's movies have gone from comedy classics, to this. "Jack and Jill" ranks with "Little Nicky" as Sandler's worst movies, by far. Other than a few funny(one very funny) parts, this is a complete mess of a movie. Sandler plays Jack and Jill, identical twins. Jill com... read morees to L.A. to visit Jack, and hijinks occur. That's the synopsis, and the novelty of Sandler in drag wears off after about two minutes. The real surprise with this movie is that Al Pacino has a significant role. Sandler must have something on Pacino for him to do this movie. I love most of Sandler's movies, and I'll continue to watch them. But, this is just about unbearable. Hopefully, he'll redeem himself and get back to what made him so special to begin with.

    Jack and Jill was exactly what I was expecting, a incredibly dull, stupid, and pointless comedy that just proves that Adam Sandler is on a steep road that it will be hard to get back up. The story is about Jack and Jill (Adam Sandler), two twin siblings who have grown apart over... read more the years and have come together for Thanksgiving, but doe to Jill being a very embarassing sibling, Jack will make it his duty to do anything to get rid of his sister, and he plans to do this by finding her a man. The plot is just an embarassing mess and I truly believe that that's what they were going for, and if they were not, holy crap what the hell were they thinking, the characters are annoying beyond all belief, having Al Pacino in the film was just a way to buy more screen time, and what I think i hated worst of all was that there was absoloutely and no denying that this movie was the worst storyline of any Adam Sandler film I have ever seen I think, I think even more pointless than last years Sandler comedy Just Go With It. The cast was just awful, plain and simple. Adam Sandler has not done a good comedy in years and he keeps the record going playing his regular smart ass character as Jack, and the completely stupid and god awful character as Jill. Katie Holmes didn't even have much of a role, she probably has a little over 10 minutes of screen time and it was completely pointless, i mean she wasn't even given any chance to be funny, in fact I think they insulted her because she switched to Judaism because of Jack in the movie, and in real life she switched to scientology because of Tom Cruise, and I think i am the only person in the world who caught that joke because the movie doesn't even try to explain it to us, but either way you will not be laughing with Katie Holmes. Al Pacino has play Tony Montana in one of the most controversial crime films ever, he played a crime boss in the greatest gangster films of all time in The Godfather, he played a Oscar winning dramatic role as a depressed older veteran blind man with a good heart in Scent of a Woman, but now considered one of the greatest actors of all time has now resorted to a incredibly awful comedy film that will be remembered as one of the final films he ever did, and that depresses me to no end because not only was he bad in this movie, he has a part where he sings and I felt embarassed to be watching him. The comedy was too awful to describe, I will admit I accidentally laughed because of some physical humour, but other than that it was one of the most unfunny films of the past few years and if you are planning on watching this movie than I recommend you grab a pillow, because your are gonna get about 90 minutes of sleep. Jack and Jill is exactly what I predicted it to be, and if you thought that Adam Sanlder was going to making a comeback with this, prepare to leave the theater feeling like pretty dumb.

    "This must never be seen... by anyone."

    I didn't say it folks. Al Pacino did. Okay, maybe he didn't say it about Jack and Jill, but he may as well have. This movie is loud and obnoxious the whole way through. At the beginning of the movie and during the end credits a few set of ... read moretwins get maybe 20 seconds to talk about what having a twin is like. Those are the only bearable moments. Right after that we get our first fart joke in the opening titlles with a vintage home movie compilation of Jack and Jill growing up.

    Despite my rating I did laugh a few times. Mostly during Al Pacino's scenes.
