Thanksgiving is usually a happy time, but ad executive Jack (Adam Sandler) dreads the holiday because his twin sister, Jill (also Sandler), makes her annual visit. When Jack and his sister get off on the wrong foot, the only way to make it right is to invite her to stay through Hanukkah. But, when actor Al Pacino (Al Pacino), whom Jack desperately needs to star in a commercial, takes a shine to Jill, Jack may be forced to extend his sister's visit even longer.

Critics Consensus

Although it features an inexplicably committed performance from Al Pacino, Jack and Jill is impossible to recommend on any level whatsoever.

It could easily have been a single-joke poster shot in a deleted scene from Funny People. Only it is less funny and less interesting.

Dennis Dugan's film mixes slapstick and jokes about diarrhoea.

... Due to poor character development, the audience will never see beyond Adam Sandler in a wig and dress. [Full review in Spanish]

Deep Focus Review

Jack and Jill is painfully tedious and sophomoric.

Sandler manages to create one of the most obnoxious and unfunny characters to go with this obnoxious and unfunny film.

I really thought I'd hate it and think it was stupid. But I enjoyed it way more than that. It is stupid, but I did laugh at times and it's not inappropriate for the kids to watch. And yeah - why IS Al Pacino so committed?? He's great in it!

EGMR 9

Unforgivably bad on every level. No wonder it took home literally all of that year's Golden Raspberry Awards. Even if you're a die-hard fan of the Sandman, you'll still have difficulty trying to defend this disasterpiece. I will say one thing, though - it's at least more enjoyable than "Hubie Halloween", and Al Pacino does provide a beacon of hope. Other than that, it deserves all the hate and to be considered one of the worst films ever made. Even in a decade that brought us "Grown Ups" and "That's My Boy", this film stuck out in Adam Sandler's filmography like at least five sore thumbs.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
