Jack and Jill - 2011 **


Some actors work well in duplicate or multiple parts (Alec Guinness in 'Kind Hearts and Coronets', Eddie Murphy in 'Big Momma's House') but others crash and burn miserably. Adam Sandler is a funny guy, and usually guaranteed to raise a smile from me, but in this awful excuse for a black comedy (more black and less comedy) he couldn't even accomplish that. Dressing as his twin sister Jill was a dreadful idea as she comes across like something out of a bad nightmare, and he couldn't keep the movie comic even when he was playing the twin brother. Even Al Pacino couldn't save this film.
