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.

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.

2.0/4.0

Sandler is hit-and-miss here, with a definite miss virtually every time he shows up as Jill.

This is coming from a huge Adam Sandler fan. This movie is basically unwatchable. Sandler's Jill character is so annoying that the rest of the movie is worthless. This is the ONLY Adam Sandler movie that I didn't enjoy AT ALL.

Nothing will stop this idiot. Nothing. He's too powerful. For some reason. Adam Sandler is only famous because of A: his 90's comedy album (the first and last remotely funny thing he ever compiled) and B: for the fact he was the Cute Boy on Saturday Night Live always standing next to a cast of mutants and trolls... His fan-base, realistically, are millennial women, and closeted men, who don't know they're in the closet. This guy literally has a Cult Following... the people who like Adam Sandler, LOVE him... but it's a creepy love that no normal human understands. His acolytes will show his movies to random people and swear they're funny... You will confess to anything to leave the room. You'll reveal the location of Jimmy Hoffa's submerged, cemented remains accurately. You will confess to helping Hitler get into power. You will pray a meteorite strikes your house and pinpoints you. You will ignite yourself like a civilly disobedient Buddhist Monk. 100% waking nightmare.

Remember when Adam Sandler actually used to be funny and he had original ideas for movies I missed the good old days and somehow giving this movie a 3% on Rotten Tomatoes is way way way too overrated yeah I’m surprised it even got 1%
