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, emphasizing the ruthless physical humor 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, who dreads one event each year: the holiday visit of his identical twin sister Jill (also Adam Sandler). Jill’s neediness and passive-aggressiveness are maddening to Jack, turning his normally tranquil life upside down. Things spin even more out of control for Jack when Jill decides to extend her visit and he doesn’t think that she’ll ever leave!

I am a huge Adam Sandler and Al Pachino fan, but wow these guys must really need the money to take part in a horrible movie like this!
Poor acting, script and horrible concept for a movie. I can't believe I wasted 90 minutes and $3.99 of my hard earned money on this waste of a film.
Please, save your money and NEVER SEE THIS MOVIE!

This was an absolutely terrible movie. My family watched the first 10 minutes of it and then turned it off. Don't throw your money away on this one. Sorry for the poor review, just don't want others to pay for a poor experience.

The whole time I kept thinking "what a waste of my time". I kept waiting for funny moments, they never came. Adam Sandler just needs to stop making movies, he used to be good, not anymore.

Movie stinks
This movie stinks. I don't know why I bought it. Don't buy it if your thinking about it. His movies have gone downhill.

Ehhh
I like Sandler, but I think this might be geared towards a younger crowd. Sandler's son in the movie is probably the funniest person in the movie.

Adam Sandler's usual garbage
This trashy movie features Adam Sandler as usual: talking like an idiot, dressing like an idiot and acting like an idiot, supported by a bunch of idiots. BUT IN A DOUBLE ROLE! Read more

Not all that bad
While there are definite bad parts of this movie, there actually are significantly funny parts as well. Al Pachino was excellent.
