Jack and Jill

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. The film was panned by critics and audiences, although Pacino's performance received some praise. Some have since considered this to be one of the worst films ever made. At the 32nd Golden Raspberry Awards, the film was nominated for a record of 12 Razzies in all ten categories. It became the first film to sweep the Razzies, winning in each category including Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Actor, Worst Actress, and Worst Screenplay. It was also a commercial disappointment, grossing $149 million against its $79 million budget. Plot Growing up in New York City, Jill Sadelstein unsuccessfully tries constantly to get the attention of her gifted fraternal twin brother Jack by injuring him or repelling others from him. Jack, currently a successful Los Angeles advertising executive, lives with his wife Erin, their biological daughter Sofia, and their adoptive Hindu son Gary, who compulsively tapes various objects to his own body as a habit. Unlike her husband, Erin views Gary's behavior as his trademark.
