Jack and Jill has officially ended me. I've hit rock bottom. I cannot go any lower. Burning in hell would be more entertaining than watching this "comedy" again. Satan...take me! One Sandler still making outdated comedies is more than enough. To have two Sandlers in the same film is the stuff of nightmares. The catalyst in creating a colossal black hole that will end the universe as we know it. Sandler dressing as a woman to portray a twin sister should be disallowed. Illegal. A crime against humanity. It's not even a case of the comedy being outdated, because I am one million percent sure it still would not be funny. Twenty, thirty, heck make it fifty years. Toilet humour isn't funny (including but not limited to farting in the cinema, violently excreting after consuming Mexican food and explicitly scratching one's testicles). Annoying characters aren't funny. Sandler isn't funny. Two Sandlers aren't funny. Sandler dressed as a female purposefully showing off his masculine shaved legs isn't funny. You see my point. I'm not even going to describe the plot, it would be a waste of a sentence that could be better used to decimate this atrocity. Holmes was underus...wait...wasn't used at all. The screenplay contained absolutely zero laughs. I didn't even smile, not even a smirk. Just large glaring eyes as I stared at the screen bewildered by what I just experienced. Pacino...why? The only one with a worthwhile committed performance, because he was playing himself. No acting required. Although subjugating yourself to an advertisement for donuts where you sing "Dunkaccino" does make you wonder why such an acclaimed actor would do this. The last line of the film is "Burn this! Don't let anybody see this!". Ironically, I feel the same about this film. Thinking about watching this? Go outside, run to the local store, buy (or perhaps steal...) a copy of the film and give it to your best friend. Then watch them suffer as you laugh maniacally. That'll make for a more amusing time then watching this. Sandler can no longer come back from this. His professional career is officially deceased in my eyes. Goodbye.0 member like this review.
