Just how stupid is the new Adam Sandler movie "Jack & Jill".....

[LynneSin]

No one bothered to check that it is impossible a brother & sister to be identical twin. Identical Twins come from the same egg and therefore have the same genetic material AND same sex.

Jack Sadelstein (Adam Sandler) is a successful advertising executive in Los Angeles with a beautiful wife (Katie Holmes) and kids, who dreads one event each year: the Thanksgiving visit of his identical twin sister Jill (also Adam Sandler). Jill's neediness and passive-aggressiveness is maddening to Jack, turning his normally tranquil life upside down. Written by Columbia Pictures

1. There is one way, sort of. Identical twin boys are born, but the circumcision goes

badly wrong on one so they decide to make it into a girl. Really happened.

2. It still got better reviews than Sarah Palin's movie....but not by much.

3% fresh for J&J as opposed to 0% fresh for Undefeated.

4. My 10 second clip of the leader singer of the North Mississippi All-Stars gets a better review...

than that movie about Sarah Palin.

3. As stupid as ANY Adam Sandler movie?

Even though I've never seen it, the only movie he's ever made that might not be so bad was "Fast Forward" (I think that's the title, with the magic remote-control.) Everything else is blissfully forgettable.

5. Also Punch-Drunk Love.

Which was a serious drama. Critics loved it, audiences didn't get it, still waiting for it to get funny.

6. I may have to look that one up,

just to be different.

[Chan790]

7. Adam Sandler as a man with an anger-management problem...

afraid it's going to destroy his new relationship.

8. I looked at the imdb page

and it's very highly rated. I'll have to put it on Netflix :hi:

9. Funny how "suspension of disbelief" works

I have no problems with the Harry Potter and LOTR movies (yes, kids can fly on broomsticks and elves exist).

But things like the Travolta/Cage movie "Face/Off". Two guys with different body shapes, different characters, different smells, different spheres of knowledge can exchange places by having face transplants????

I suspect the further from reality a script is, the more believable it is.

And really dumb mistakes such as identical twins being different sexes...give me a break.

Mind you, identical twins can be rather different. Mine are.

10. Just from looking at the preview, it appears to be about 14 stupid. (n/t)

11. What if...they were both hermaphrodites?

And one went one ID'd as male, the other as female?

Damn, I am wasting too many cycles on this stupid-ass shit!
