Twin tripe


Jack and Jill (2011)

Directed by Dennis Dugan this comedy stars Adam Sandler (x2), Al Pacino and Katie Holmes. A man has his annoying twin sister come to visit for the holidays while he tries to get Al Pacino to star in a commercial.

Much like any other comedy written by Adam Sandler this film uses all the easy “jokes” and manages to sneak in some racism too. The premise of the of the film is as thin as it's characters and I am not entirely sure the plot even works from a character stand point. Despite the disaster going on around him Al Pacino gives a good performance and you have to wonder what he is even doing in this film.

2/5
