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.

Worst movie I have ever seen in my life. I literally could not finish and anyone saying otherwise should not be trusted as a movie critic.

We mere mortals weren't supposed to witness such elegant beauty, yet - artisan Adam Sandler provides us with what can only be described as such. Masterful, satirical comedy on the kinship between brothers and sisters. Visionary filmmaking that tackles themes of loss, love, and what it means to be human. Phenomenon camerawork, acting, and the story.....oh the story.....it was like it was written by the gods themselves. 5 out of 5, any less would be heresy.

Jack and Jill was released in theatres in 2011 and stars Adam Sandler as both the male and female lead with Katie Holmes and Al Pacino also being in the cast for some reason. The supposed plot is that Sandler (Jack) is a successful executive with a family while his twin sister Jill, also played by Sandler, is an unmarried and unhappy woman living in their dead parent's home. Eventually Jill comes to visit for Thanksgiving and wacky hijinks ensue so the movie can happen. The obvious problem is that this comedy movie has none, the acting is awful, and this felt like a tv skit stretched to fit into a movie. Even if you like the slapstick Adam Sandler movies I'd avoid this one as it's just pretty bad.

Should qualify as so bad that it's so good cult classic except that it's pure torture to watch.
