Jack and Jill (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + UltraViolet Digital Copy) (2011)

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.

Created in 1980 as the anti-Oscars, the Golden Raspberry Awards (the RAZZIES) may not have the same high profile as their illustrious counterpart but they sure are a lot more fun. Honoring the worst of the worst, this tongue-in-cheek ceremony not only eviscerates truly bad movies, it boldly challenges convention. It has become more entrenched in recent years with lucky recipients actually attending to receive their dubious accolades. Notoriously Sandra Bullock and Halle Berry attended to pick up Worst Actress awards, Bullock (for All About Steve) even in the same year she won an Oscar for The Blind Side. In 2011, Adam Sandler's "Jack and Jill" broke RAZZIE history with an impressive 11 nominations.

Few will argue that "Jack and Jill" is a good movie. At best, it's defenders will say "But it's Adam Sandler, what did you expect?" A fair point, but I think that sells both themselves and Sandler short with a pass for lowered expectations. Sandler is talented and can make good movies, but some seem content to allow idiocy to pass for entertainment. That's fine. I like dumb as much as the next guy, but only at home for free--not paying premium movie prices or purchasing a DVD. There is a big difference.

Either way, "Jack and Jill" is a preposterously inept film that marks a real low point in the career of Al Pacino (poor Pacino is besotted with a female Sandler). Sandler plays twin siblings, a male and a female, and the sight of Sandler in drag is presumably all the effort anyone made to provide actual comedy. Isn't the very idea hysterical? Not so much. But I do credit Sandler and "Jack and Jill" for achieving film history. He is the only actor in history to be nominated for Worst Actor and Worst Actress in the same year. Here's a complete rundown of the picture's record breaking nominations (most of which it has odds on winning):

Worst Picture

Worst Actor: Adam Sandler

Worst Actress: Adam Sandler (yes, actress)

Worst Supporting Actor: Al Pacino

Worst Supporting Actor: Nick Swardson (shared with Just Go For It, so I didn't count it a full nomination)

Worst Supporting Actress: Katie Holmes

Worst Supporting Actress: David Spade (yes, actress)

Worst Director

Worst Screenplay

Worst Remake/Rip-off/Sequel

Worst Ensemble

Worst Couple (Sandler and Sandler, Sandler and Pacino, and/or Sandler and Holmes)

Is "Jack and Jill" worth seeing? That's up to you. Is it worth paying for? That's really the question. My advice: if you absolutely have to see this, wait until you can catch it for free. If we keep buying these DVDs then they'll just keep making movies of the same caliber. KGHarris, 3/12.

Throughout his largely misbegotten career, Adam Sandler has made a few decent comedies "The Wedding Singer" comes to mind but "Jack and Jill" (2011) is the pits. Sandler and his filmmaking buddies show contempt for their audience while delivering zero laughs. A bizarre cameo by Al Pacino (who should have known better) remains the sole redeeming feature of a truly wretched movie.

I really thought I would like this, as I am a fan of Adam Sandler, but this movie is just awful. Not because of the potty humor Sandler is famous (infamous?) for that, it is what we expect. But watching the character of Jill is absolutely painful! It is simply way too over the top. I couldn't believe that someone attached to the movie (like the producer or director) would let this get through. I was also shocked that Al Pacino agreed to be in it. Part of the storyline is that Jack is trying to get Al Pacino to appear in a Dunkin Donuts commercial, which they figure he would never do. I'm not sure why, because this movie is far worse than any commercial I have ever seen. Sometimes I think they start out with the best of intentions but the movie never comes together. This is one of those cases.
