Adam Sandler in drag: this is the gist of Jack and Jill, and Sandler doesn't skimp on the premise. He plays two roles, in fact: Jack is a successful L.A. TV producer, family man, and vaguely unpleasant shill for advertising clients. Jill is his sister, in town from the Bronx for a holiday visit. Obnoxious and passive-aggressive, she is also a lethal impersonation on Sandler's part, a wickedly exact send-up of the relative who never seems to get the hint. (One early dinner-table scene, where Jill refuses to acknowledge that the Christmas movie with Jimmy Stewart and the angel might in fact be It's a Wonderful Life, is a fine study in cluelessness.) Critics lambasted the film, emphasising the ruthless physical humour and the gastrointestinal jokes, and to be sure, this is not Noel Coward territory (or even Moe Howard territory) we're in here. But the movie does have some surreal gags, and a large supporting role for Al Pacino, as himself (Jack is trying to convince Pacino to be a pitchman for a donut commercial). Pacino proves to be an awfully good sport about the whole thing, especially when his role requires him to fall for Jill in a variety of cockamamie ways. It may be more a series of sketches than an actual movie, but Jack and Jill does showcase Sandler's gift for outrageous impersonation--although admittedly, you'll probably have to be a die-hard Sandlerite to go the distance here. --Robert Horton
Product Description
Jack Sadelstein (Adam Sandler), a successful advertising executive in Los Angeles with a beautiful wife (Katie Holmes) and kids, dreads one event each year: the holiday visit of his identical twin sister Jill (also Adam Sandler). Jill’s neediness and passive-aggressiveness drive Jack crazy and turn his normally tranquil life upside down. Things spin even more out of control for Jack when Jill decides to extend her visit--and he starts panicking that she’ll never leave.

I've seen Adam Sandler in films I've enjoyed, but the man has lost the plot if he thought this would do him any good. Did he not read it through before signing or is he really that off the boil that he thought this would work? The plot is childish, Adam Sandler in drag is embarrassing, and the whole thing is irritating to a point that it's just unwatchable. I believe sandler has already won a Razzie or two, and he deserves one for every contribution he made (story, dialogue, acting whatever) to this terrible terrible film. Pixel could have made a better film about two slugs. How does anyone in Hollywood have the nerve to offer this up. Strictly for those whose expectations in a CD don't rise above a semi decent trailer before the film starts.
ps Amazon, any chance of offering raspberries from one to five alongside the stars, as giving this film a star is way too generous.

If I could rate this movie as zero star, I would not hesitate one second. The humour in this movie is cringeworthy to the point of irritating. Do not waste your time.

Like Adam Sandler in q a few of his fils and bought it for the kids...
The conecpt of the dual role play sounds promising but although quite funny in parts we also found the humour a little lacking and a bit cringey at times.

The 2ND worst film of all time!
This film is diabolical. Al Pacino should be ashamed for being involved with this.
