Oh dear God. Adam Sandler should barely be allowed a film career, let alone be permitted to make movies where he tries to strangle laughs out of dragging up and playing his his own sister. However that’s what he’s doing in Jack & Jill, where he plays Jack Sadelstein, a successful LA advertising executive with a beautiful wife and kids, who dreads one event each year – the Thanksgiving visit of his identical twin sister Jill (Adam Sandler). Jill’s neediness and passive-aggressiveness is maddening to Jack, turning his normally tranquil life upside down.
Doesn’t that sound hysterical? Umm, no, but watch the trailer below anyway. It’s set to reack UK cinemas in early January.
