Jack And Jill



What I liked:
  • Elodie Tougne and Rohan Chand were super cute as Sandler's kids.
  • The cameos were fun.  Spoiler Alert: Be on the lookout for David Spade, Norm MacDonald, Dana Carvey, Regis Philbin, Shaq, Drew Care, John McEnroe, Christie Brinkley, Bruce Jenner, and Johnny Depp (?!)
  • I am not the biggest fan of Katie Holmes but she was alright in this.
What I didn't like:
  • The story was ridiculously bad.
  • Lots of gross out moments that are not funny unless you are a 14 year old boy.
  • Al Pacino.  WTH?  Did you lose a bet?  Is that why you made this film?
  • Adam Sandler was annoying as both a guy and a girl.
  • Lots of product placement which I am guessing is because A. good investors read the script and thought better than to put any money into this and B. all of those cameos cost lots of money.
  • I am not sure if tis was trying to be a typical funny Sandler movie like Happy Gilmore or a family movie or both but it fell short on all aspects.  Sandler should go back to making movies like Bedtime Stories or Just Go With It.

Grade: D
