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.”

I've seen the preview for this movie so many times on Youtube that it actually has grown on me. I'm going to rent it when Netlix gets it (which should be soon), so hopefully it will be at least a little funny. That scene with the pony kills me! I'm not expecting much at all, though.
