Note: In lieu of giving a normal movie review, I’ve presented a no-holds barred, unflinching look at what is arguably the worst movie of the year. Enjoy!

In movie history, for every good film released, there were 7 bad ones. It’s evident everywhere, the month of November saw it’s fair share of duds, from “Immortals” to the terribly reviewed “Happy Feet 2”. There’s one movie that stands above all the others, in terms of pure unpleasantness. That film is called “Jack and Jill”, or as the Palestinians call it, “Pure Evil”. All joking aside, this movie is a disaster. It’s horrendous. It’s more gross than Saw 9. Does this movie even need a plot breakdown? Adam Sandler plays a slightly less rich version of himself, Jack Sadelstein,while also playing his twin sister,  Jill Sadlestein. This movie is baffling on a cellular level. Why is this being made? Why isn’t this funny? Why hasn’t the director been  reprimanded? Why is Al Pacino in this? Does he hate himself? Those questions can only be answered in so many ways, but one thing is clear: this is the slow burning end of Adam Sandler’s career. Let’s take a look back, shall we? Ever since 2007, Sandler’s movies have been getting worse and worse reviews: “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry”, “You Don’t Mess With the Zohan”, “Grown Ups”, “Zookeeper” and now this. The only film to come out during that span that I didn’t mention was “Funny People”, only because in the film, Sandler plays a slightly sillier version of himself (in terms of Career choices).

Now, it seems, in terms of plot, characters, and horrendous one liners, Sandler has become the caricature of himself, in a matter of speaking, he’s hit a new low. I’m not going to break down why things don’t work in this movie, because in the end, it all sucks, and people will still pay to see these films and people like Sandler will still co-write and star in these dreadful sacks of vile(I could think of a more colorful word to say, but I won’t.) .

Reviewer Roger Ebert once called a movie a “vomitorium”. This? This is perpetually worse. It’s stupid, repetitive and disgusting, everyone who has anything to do with this movie should feel ashamed of themselves. Please don’t see this movie, I can guarantee you that within the first five minutes your face will be buried in your palm, as the creases in your hand have more entertainment than this garbage. If you manage to sit through this movie and enjoy it, then, wow, I salute (and question) you. But please. Just don’t. Watch “Hugo” instead. Or “Breaking Dawn”. Just not this.
