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]

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.

This was one of the best film since the Waterboy for Adam Sandler. This beats Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison by a mile. I wish they had made Jack and Jill 2!!!

This movie was so f**king stupid and annoyingly unfunny I turned it off after the dinner table scene. I literally couldn't bear to watch another second of this POS without ripping my hair out frustration. I'd rather have hot fire pokers inserted into my ears and eyes then sit thru this un-comedic steaming pile of sh*t!

I love how Adam Sandler movies have horrible ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. I was expecting this to be awful -- instead, it's a typical Adam Sandler movie -- it's a 90 or so minute entertaining movie with an ensemble cast, several extremely funny moments and the same exact quirks that you'll find in any Adam Sandler movie. Adam Sandler has somewhat of a formula -- wherein the movie feels fresh, yet it has all of the same tropes that made the other movies (if you liked them) so much fun. I do like good movies, but sometimes I actually would like to have fun and watch something that is clever for being fun, not clever for being clever. And yes, as some have stated, the acting is wonderful -- for a comedy. The reviews on here seem to forget the category. The category is fun - and it's a lot of fun and after a somewhat crap day, this movie made it.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The movie is such a disaster beginning to end. Unfunny, 0 talent outside of Pacino, and possibly the laziest Adam Sandler movie yet. Aside from all of this though, the movie contains a Jared Fogle cameo, which completely curses this movie as an unforgivable piece of garbage that I cannot morally or even remotely label as "cinema." Let the record stand that "Jack & Jill" is what the poster child of rock bottom for movies should look like.

There are few movies that are transcendent and elicit an uncontrollable joy deep in my being, Jack and Jill is one of those movies. Genuine acting, hilarious and emotional script, perfect directing, and Al Pacino come together in a perfect testament to the human experience and familial loves.
