One of many juvenile shenanigans include a lady carrying a heavy barbell, flattening an animal, a rocker Depp wearing a Bieber shirt, Jack’s kid punching Jill and Al Pacino’s taste in women and hitting them with a chair. The film had only a few comical situations. Katie Holmes was almost non-existent and the Godfather line was lame. The interviews with the twins were more interesting. Even the cameos of certain popular figures could not save this film. Jack and Jill just tried too hard to be funny, from the slapstick comedy to outrageous lewd dialogues, pure disappointment from all aspects. |

Movie Review of Jack and Jill |
|
Generally speaking, any movie where the lead male character also plays the part of a woman is a really bad idea. With the exception of ‘Tootsie’ and ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’, I stand by this statement EMPHATICALLY. I don’t think we need to look any further than the recent ‘Madea’ phenomenon--which, by the way, I am at a loss to understand--to prove this point. And let’s now give Adam Sandler a warm welcome as we add him to the list of contenders in ‘Jack and Jill’.
THE GOOD: The movie starts out with some promise as we meet several sets of twins who share their feelings of growing up with a double entity, with some of the comments being laugh out loud memorable. Then we segway into meeting Jack (Adam Sandler), a big time ad executive living with his wife (Katie Holmes) and their 2 childre... |
