I confess that I don't like Adam Sandler and I went to his "Jack and Jill" fully believing that I would not care for this movie. I was a bit surprised that the movie was better than I thought it would. I liked the fact that the Jack character kept Sandler from saying and doing much at all. the Jill character also played by Sandler was a bit irritating but somehow likeable.
Oh, I would never give this movie four stars but I confess that it was definitely better than Cars 2 and, yes, dare I say it, even better than Puss in Boots.
OK. The premise is based on twins and Jill (Jack's twin) comes for her annual Christmas visit and simply stays. Surprisingly, despite her irritating personality she is wooed by Al Pacino playing himself and Felipe. I'm not quite sure how Jill got together with Felipe but their friendship clicked. I guess I was out for popcorn when they they ended up having eyes for each other. Pacino does what he can to have a relationship with Jill but she just doesn't like him. Jack comes to her rescued after insulting Jill and manages to get everyone together and make everyone happy. Hey, the plot is far from deep but it does work.
The movie is cute and also funny at times, though Alice felt it wasn't as funny as she expected. It was probably only one step above the average made for TV movie but, as I say again and again, it wasn't that bad.
