A new Adam Sandler comedy is headed to the big screen and Sandler will be starring with his favourite star. Himself.
Jack and Jill is a comedy focusing on Jack Sadelstein (Adam Sandler), a successful advertising executive in Los Angeles with a beautiful wife and kids, who dreads one event each year: the Thanksgiving visit of his identical twin sister Jill (Adam Sandler). Jill’s neediness and passive-aggressiveness is maddening to Jack, turning his normally tranquil life upside down.
Of course this formulaic family comedy will inevitably have Jack and Jill form a closer bond and Jack will go from hating his sister’s visits to missing her when she is gone.
I have always liked Sandler’s comedy, but this just feels like a desperate Eddie Murphy Krumps move. I have yet to see any comedy where someone plays the part of their own family member work.
Ok, maybe Back to the Future. But that’s totally different.
This trailer shows a lot of the one liners (the last one is great) and I predict the ending already. But honestly, I think I have seen all I want to from this already.
