Movie Reviews: Jack and Jill
Adam Sandler may easily be among America’s 1 percent after starring in a record number of films that have grossed more than $100 million. But many critics are betting his latest one, Jack and Jill, won’t make it past that mark.
In fact he doesn’t even have 1 percent of the critics on his side. The film has generated not a single positive review by any critic for a major newspaper.
Lou Lumenick in the New York Post:
“gruesomely unfunny.”
Linda Barnard in the Toronto Star:
“Makes lowbrow seem like grand opera.”
A.O. Scott in the New York Times:
“Mr. Sandler’s comedy shows signs of curdling.”
Michael Sullivan in the Washington Post:
“Unruly, stupid and sort of funny, in the same way — and to exactly the same extent — that passing gas is funny.”
Robert Abele in the Los Angeles Times:
“A dispiriting exercise.”
Roger Moore in the Orlando Sentinel:
“A wreck.”
