So, since Grown Ups 2 is opening this weekend, I thought I'd take another look at the other Sandler-Dugan production that polluted my mind and made me dumber for having watched it.
I would like to start out this review by quoting the Nostalgia Critic:
'Reviewing a bad comedy is one of the hardest things to review, because there are only so many times you can say: That's not funny.'
That is completely true about Jack and Jill.
Adam Sandler, what happened? You used to make funny movies, even if they were stupid, they were funny guilty pleasures.

With the exception of ‘Tootsie’ and ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’, I stand by this statement EMPHATICALLY. I don’t think we need to look any further than the recent ‘Madea’ phenomenon--which, by the way, I am at a loss to understand--to prove this point.

THE GOOD: The movie starts out with some promise as we meet several sets of twins who share their feelings of growing up with a double entity, with some of the comments being laugh out loud memorable.
