"COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME"
+

(same guy that brought us Grown Ups & Just Go With It) Jack Sadelstein is a family man who is dreading the Thanksgiving visit of his twin sister, the needy and passive-aggressive Jill. She arrives and refuses to leave. Its Starring Adam Sandler, Katie Holmes, Al Pacino (as himself), Eugenio Derbez, Tim Meadows, Nick Swardson, Allen Covert, Valerie Mahaffey, Gad Elmaleh, Gary Valentine, Dana Carvey, Johnny Depp & Drew Carey.


THE REVIEW: 

From the trailer i had a feeling this film was going to be a complete car crash (and right i was). I mean how funny can a film about thanksgiving where a man plays 2 characters (man & woman). Its only February and we already have a candidate (and possible winner) for the worst film of 2012. I'm sure Adam Sandler will look back on this film in months to come and say to himself "what the hell was i thinking when i made this?"

He is not funny dressed as a woman & apart from the ridiculous amounts of money hes going to make from this Mr Sandler must be careful not to ruin in carrer for the sake of them "£/$" signs.

Nothing really seem to work in Jack & Jill. The jokes/humor & skits are not funny enough and for a PG rating its pretty offensive. The jokes are just full of what Adam Sandler thinks is funny. Some scenes feel out of place and doesnt seem to work. Believe me when i say that its a waste of time & money, if you are going to watch this then make sure to set your standards as low as possible. There is no storyline, i dont even think there is a concept. Some of the characters dont make sense at all. I wouldnt know who to recommend this film to because im sure they would come back to me with unimpressed faces (-_-). Havent said that If Jill had been portrayed as a nice big hearted woman then maybe (just maybe) this movie would have worked. How Al Pacino was sucked into this film i will never know. 

I must be honest and say i didnt watch the whole film. I got terribly bored as i didnt find anything funny or intresting on screen.

Watch The Trailer Only.
OVERALL: BAD FILM!
