Jack and Jill is a 2011 American comedy film directed by Dennis Dugan from a script by Steve Koren and Adam Sandler. Released on November 11, 2011, by Columbia Pictures, the film stars Sandler in a dual role as twin siblings Jack and Jill Sadelstein, the former a Los Angeles advertising executive being visited for Thanksgiving by the latter from the Bronx. Constantly annoyed by his sister, Jack is horrified to learn that Jill plans to stay after Hanukkah due to an open-ended plane ticket. However, when an agency representing Dunkin' Donuts demands that Jack get Al Pacino (as himself) for a commercial, Pacino develops an interest in Jill, making Jack try to convince her to date the actor despite her disinterest in him. Other stars include Katie Holmes as Jack's wife and Eugenio Derbez as another love interest for Jill, as well as Regis Philbin in his final film appearance.
