Jack and Jill
Jack Sadelstein, a successful advertising executive in Los Angeles with a beautiful wife and kids, dreads one event each year: the Thanksgiving visit of his twin sister Jill. Jill's neediness and passive-aggressiveness is maddening to Jack, turning his normally tranquil life upside down.

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Redundant and unnecessary.
One of my all time favorites.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Pain is the first thing that comes to mind when considering "Jack and Jill". Your eyes hurt as you see actors such as Adam Sandler and Al Pacino, who have been great in the past, practically sleepwalk for their paycheck. Your ears hurt, as Sandler's shrill female voice is rumored to cause temporary (and, in some cases, permanent) hearing loss. Your face hurts, as you weep for the time lost by you and any other poor fool who has innocently stumbled upon this...thing (one hesitates to call it a film, as that would be too much credit). And finally, your brain hurts, as you try to puzzle out why this was written, why it was financed, why actors chose to be in it, why theaters chose to distribute it, and why people chose to see it.Sandler, I beg of you. I know you're smarter than this. So why, oh why, can't you act like it? "Punch-Drunk Love" is one of my favorite films. "Happy Gilmore" is pretty funny. I look forward to seeing you in "The Meyerowitz Stories", as I've heard only positive responses to your performance. So pull it together, Adam. If not for your fans, then for yourself. Others might not think so, but you deserve better than the crap you've banished yourself to.And Pacino. Ah, Pacino. How I remember you in "Dog Day Afternoon", one of the finest films of the '70s. How young you were, how passionate, how energetic, how full of life. You've worked with the best-Coppola, Lumet, De Palma. So your recent performances are almost as painful as De Niro's ("Taxi Driver" review hopefully coming soon, folks). I sincerely wish you the best, and I hope "The Irishman" will be a return to form, for you and De Niro.Ultimately, however, all we, the viewers, can do, is sit back and look at what is laid before us and whisper...the horror...the horror...the horror.
The only reason I saw this so called movie is because I was in the hospital with nothing to do and my roommate had a couple of DVDs and she unfortunately chose this one. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this is the worst "movie" I've ever seen. I can also say with the same conviction that watching this "movie" was the worst part of my hospital stay and I was there AGAINST MY WILL (because I was a teen at the time). Whatever you do don't watch this movie... I mean you have free will and all but I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
I LOVE this movie! I love all the movies Adam Sandler has done. I think this movie has some very clever dialogue. And Adam Sandler playing his twin sister is hilarious. If you're looking for a light hearted comedy with no swearing, this is appropriate for the entire family!
I've watched this time and time again. It's a warm comedy and keeps me in stitches every time. That Al Pacino is in here as a love struck suitor of Adam's Jill character shows he doesn't take himself too seriously and he plays it with great humour. Gawky Jill might be annoying to some, but for me I love it that she's such a warm hearted character while her brother Jack is a stiffy. Such a shame so many hate it.
