In the final episode in his season of Happy Madison reviews, Film Brain endures the film that not only multiples Adam Sandler by two - and the Razzies by ten. Season 5.
#AdamSandler #JackAndJill #AlPacino #BadMovieBeatdown
Originally posted in August 2013, this was the final episode of Sandler Month. This is a re-edited version that runs a whopping 8m 15s shorter than the original version, using the original edit files. Changes include:
- Now in HD!
- Voiceover has been completely re-recorded for the entire review. This was during my "angry" phase where I was over-doing and over-exaggerating my performance, so I've brought it back into my more natural register.
- Likewise, the on-camera segments use many alternate takes that are a bit more natural, although that is a bit difficult when all the takes are angry.
- Small edits try to reduce elongation of syllables throughout the on-camera segments.
- The film clips have been heavily reduced and cut down.
- Movie footage has been upscaled to HD
- Music through the review has been replaced.
This is to tie in with the release of Uncut Gems (a Sandler film I'm really excited to see!) and because it is quite seasonal. Enjoy!
Wait, you're excited to see a Sandler film?
Matt, my classmates were forced to watch this back in high school. I managed to escape and go watch click instead. Along with my usual Teen Titans binge.
@@scottylewis8124 That was terrible...
@@TommyDeonauthsArchivesI know. My teacher was stupid.
@@lorddravoth2374
That was my idea ...hes gone full Lucas ... soon he starts editing extra critters in these reviews .
Jack and Jill is one of those comedies that comes from such a place of cynicism and mean-mindedness, that it's hard to imagine anyone had fun writing or performing any of the "gags" which seemed to be the common thread throughout this past decade for Happy Madison.
This movie reminds me of just how far Al Pacino has come this year with Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and The Irishman being some of his best acting work in years
I guess Scorsese worked a few miracles in 2019 seeing as how he's an executive producer on 'Uncut Gems'. Plus, I guess Pacino leapt at the chance to work with Tarantino with less hesitation than Sandler did when he turned down a role in 'Inglourious Basterds'.
Admittedly this film wasn't the career low-point it could have been, given how he came out with a bit of dignity. But yes it's great that he's not doing a movie like this this year.
Hopingover Leavesinfall Pacino previously appeared in “Gigli”, so I can’t be surprised that he would appear in “Jack and Jill”.
Unlike Pacino’s actor friend John Cazale, it’s inevitable that Pacino would appear in some bad movies.
Al Pacino is one of the actors I would watch in anything, and he is good in every role. The Irishman feels a bit like Once Upon Time in America (even running time is close, and you have de Niro in it) but having de Niro and Al Pacino in one movie is always amazing.
After watching Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems, it feels like Jack and Jill, Ridiculous Six and Grownups never existed.
@@rezalustig6773 More than that. The Safdie Brothers are the guys that turned Robert Pattinson into one of my new favorite actors. I recommend Good Time if you haven't seen it.
I wouldn't celebrate yet. Caravaggio. He's likely in a rut and it wouldn't surprise me after so many of Sandler's films that failed with both, critics and audiences - he's doing movies like Uncut Gems as a way for him to be liked, or popular again. Or at the very least TRY to be taken seriously as a so-called actor. And what a shock - HE'S NOT POPULAR! 'Cause let's be honest, there WAS a time he was popular for being funny and all. But times have changed and so should he. More specifically, his style of humor. He should reinvent his humor someway, somehow that works. And while his movies made money - and good for him and his Happy Madison friends - but let's be honest they're box-office low-brow comedies. Whatever was once funny in the '80s and '90s are either mildly funny now or in some way have died due to cultural shift changes. People now these days take things WAY more seriously. It's almost as if comedy is dead. I'm not blaming Adam Sandler for killing comedy, but I do believe he should know better to adapt, if not change, his humor rather than staying in the same time period he was over 20 years ago.
@@jsteffey88 actually he’s still and will forever will be popular. This comment is stupid and innacurate.
Be warned, Sandler has said that if he doesn't win an Oscar for 'Uncut Gems', he will make a movie "so bad on purpose" (perhaps something that could make 'Jack and Jill' look passable).
Jack Monaghan It can’t be worse than Little Nicky or 8 Crazy Nights
@@galleryofrogues He'll find a way.
Jack Monaghan Sadly, you’re probably right..
@@galleryofrogues Little Nicky was a fucking masterpiece, compared to 8 Crazy Nights!
I actually want to see that
Remember kids, if Sandler doesn't win that best actor award for Uncut Gems, he'll make another movie that is just as bad as Jack and Jill lol
Brandon, friend.
I pray he doesn't keep that promise.
Jack and Jill 2 : Jacking and Jilling
@@Shiirow
Jesus Christ, no!
There will no more justice in this world.
He'll keep making them anyway. If you've seen RLM's video on Jack And Jill they propose a lot of Sandler's lazy comedies are scams that cost very little to make, but S claims a grossly large budget and shares it with his celebrity friends. Along with product deals, and free holidays out of location filming.
Grown Ups 3: Fart Camp
No lie. I actually had the idea of creating twins that look the same but different gender in a story.
I'm glad that Sandler did it first so I didn't have to.
You sad sad man...
No matter what your plot was it has to be better than this pitiful effort
@@jamesatkinsonja
Thanks. It was going to be an animated web series in the vain of The Simpsons and Family Guy, but I decided to bury that project.
Shakespeare used that one...
I can't believe Adam Sandler made the worst gritty version of a Fairy Tale ever. I'm never speaking ill of Amanda Seyfried again...
Al Pacino: (to Jack (Adam Sandler)) Burn this.
Jack: (to Al Pacino) I'm sorry?
Al Pacino: (to Jack) This must never be seen... By anyone.
Basically sums up everyone's reactions to Jack and Jill (2011).
I’ll give the movie this: Where most Adam Sandler movies contain the cliche of pairing female characters with significantly less attractive male characters (not that such pairings don’t really happen, but the trope is pretty one-way in film portrayal), this one at least balanced it out with Jill and Felipe.
Thank God we have the Irishman and Uncut Gems these days. The early 2010s were a dark time.
That Jared Fogle scene is downright cringey to look at now. Also, Johnny Depp is in the Lakers game with Pacino because every NBA game has celebrities attending them. I guess Jack Nicholson wasn't available to have a cameo in that scene considering he's a massive Lakers fan. And I don't understand the hostility towards the numerous cameos in this film.
What surprises me more is the fact that "Uncut Gems" is Sandler's first live-action theatrical film in four years, after spending the time between those years taking his infamy to Netflix while also giving the platform a dramatic film (in the form of "The Meyerowitz Stories").
The 'hostility' comes from the feeling that films with loads of unnecessary cameos feels like the filmmakers self indulgently hanging out with there friends which certainly comes across in the 'party' scene and Johnny Depp at the basketball game.
@@jamesatkinsonja Well, whatever, critics don't mean shit
That bit where you reject reviewing something because Doug covered it has aged well lol
Mat is a far better critic than Doug ever was. Also far funnier.
Darn, you beat me to it.
Spongey444 ok, now I want to see him do the Master of Disguise purely out of spite
More often than not, Mat's review is better. Case in point, his review of Christmas With the Kranks is LEAPS and BOUNDS better than Nostalgia Critic's.
@@HBarnill Agreed.
As South Park said it best about this film:
"This November, Adam Sandler shits in your eyes, ears and mouth!"
Even the movie swept the razzies cause adam sandler likes to punish his audiance.
Jack and Jill. Aka Gravity Falls if Dipper never had mystery, and Mabel never had any friends.
Please please do more Bad Movie Beatdowns :'( we miss them loads
This is my hated movie of all time. It's not the worst movie I've ever seen, I don't even have any ill will towards Sandler. In fact, there are a couple Sandler movies that got a chuckle out of me.
The problem I have with how bitter and mean-spirited the movie is. I know that siblings can be hostile towards each other (I'm guilty of this, as I'm the oldest of two siblings), but this movie is borderline cruel and uncomfortable.
The only positive I have towards this movie is the Al Pacino scenes, but then I realized that Al Pacino went through such a downward spiral to star in a movie like this.
Screw this movie.
Matthew Cool well both Pacino and Sandler are in critically acclaimed movies this year, so I guess there career has gone up since then
There is a definite silver lining to hitting a low point, because once you hit that, you can only go up from there.
@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852 Uncut Gems!
Great, another terrible Sandler "comedy" that's set around Hanukkah. As if Eight Crazy Nights hadn't made people miserable enough already. Hey, Adam, instead of promising to make another movie that's just as bad and Jack & Jill, how about you ride the lightning of your resurgence to make a Hanukkah movie that's actually... you know, GOOD? I'm just saying.
Hubie Halloween apparently wasn't terrible, so who knows, maybe this is a sign that his movies will be better in general. And his appearances in The Meyorwitz Stories and Uncut Gems were only two years apart. Sandler has done bad dramas before (Men, Women and Children and The Cobbler come to mind), but he's honestly got a decent enough track record at them that he will probably keep doing them. If only he stayed away from comedies for good (or just appeared in consistently good ones done by other people), but given how he started his career I just don't think that'll happen.
I get the feeling that one of the writers got inspired by the peternal twins from Eight Crazy Nights and thought about making a movie solely based on that.
What’s weird is that Adam Sandler voiced both twins in that movie and his voice for the woman was a lot more convincing. That voice wouldn’t have fit Jill though.
I hate to say this, but a movie about Whitey and Eleanor might have been more entertaining than THIS.
3:35 don't get me started on the Razzie's, the award season equivalent of click bait
James Atkinson lol
Although I haven't watched any of your previous "Sandler Month" episodes, that won't stop me from watching this one.
EDIT- 10:32 P.M.: *finishes episode 27 minutes later*
It was so satisfying to hear you roast "Jack and Jill". 😂
Considering Al Pacino previously appeared in “Gigli” (another “Worst Picture” Razzie winner), it’s no surprise that he would appear in “Jack & Jill”. 😂 😂
Norm MacDonald also plays a bird on "Mike Tyson Mysteries."
And a gelatinous alien on The Orville.
Well that joke about the kids being into anti-Semitism hasn’t agent well
That bites that you couldn't review Master of Disguise simply because the Nostalgia Critic already did it. I never understood why he had carte blanche to review what other reviewers on the site already looked at, but you all couldn't review the movies he already did. I think you made the right choice leaving that web site, Mat.
Just came across this video and this maybe wasn't the main takeaway but the Turner syndrome mention kinda took me by surprise as I actually have it and it's a pretty rare condition that hardly anyone's heard of so I appreciated it getting mentioned.
At least this film gave us the Daily Dunkacino twitter account.
Evidently, this movie convinced Film Brain that hair is evil, and told him to lose his.
Nice to see this review back on RUclips! Your Happy Madison month was hysterical and hilarious!
I was almost expecting Doug to actually make a cameo to chew Matthew out for reviewing Master of Disguise, this was just before the fallout I believe.
Ever seen "That's My boy"? That movie is more tolerable than "Jack and Jill"
I'd actually say no,
That's My Boy actually had a premise that could be great satire, male child Molestation victims seemed as "lucky" but females seen as always victims, but it blew it, so I'd say it's worse.
J & J had 0 chance
@@eddiedingle767 it even had Katherine Isabelle as a seductive teacher.
@@scottylewis8124 which is actually hilarious, because the older version is her mom, Susan Sarandon
@@eddiedingle767 😱😱
You know what's sad?
Norbit was way funnier than this travesty!
RIP Norm Macdonald. 😢
4:23 Technically, they are same sex twins because Adam Sandler is the same sex as Adam Sandler.
The scene at 14:30 really bugs me. Atheists don't act like hurt puppies when they're accused of not believing in god, and if any Christians really acted like the guy in that scene, I'm pretty sure most of their peers would distance themselves out of sheer embarrassment.
Edit: I didn't know who John McEnroe was before watching this, but I now know the whole scene was a joke about how he gets mad a lot. It still sucks.
Buckey Larson, Grown Up's 2, Paul Blart 2, That's My boy, Pixles, Joe Dirt 2, The cobbler, the ridiculous 6...yeah, he really didn't get much better after this.
Pixels is good the rest are trash
TBH I kind of miss the anger of the original version. I think it was more warranted for this movie.
3:14 but then you realise they pulled this off in the late 60s. I'm not even joking, there's a Doctor Who story called the Enemy of the World where Patrick Troughton plays both the Doctor and the villain Salamander and there are some scenes of them talking at once on the same shot.
I've seen more convincing crossdressers in costume parties.
Why Adam Sandler?
WHY?!
The only reason I can think of as to why Adam Sandler made this movie is so he can dress up in drag
@@maldon3659
If Adam likes to dress in drag, more power to him.
But that doesn't mean he needs to make a movie about it.
I think his production Happy Madison makes pretty bad films like Paul Blart, Jack and Jill, Grown Ups, Grown ups 2, Strange Wilderness, Just. Go With It, Bucky Larsen, Dickie Roberts, Zookeeper, And The Master Of Disguise
Norm mcdonald is like
"Hay sandler, we know we did SNL, but boy, you are really pushing it"
So this is the unofficial Donnie Brasco reunion ... kill me.
Do you know that Lights Camera Jackson gave this film a B while giving The Wolf of Wall Street a D?
It really says something when the twist ending parody of this film, actually had more clever stuff in it than the premise of this film.
18:44 Wait, isn't chocolate poisonous to birds?
I can see where most of the budget went to: paying off animal welfare.
Out of sheer curiosity, how do you mean Zookeeper isnt nearly bad enough for your show? I havent seen it so I wouldn't know but I am intrigued nonetheless 🤔
Sandler, David Spade and Chris Farley dressed in drag for the SNL Gap Girls at the Mall skits way back in the 90s. Turning the gag into a feature length film is just sad. Thanks for watching Sandler flicks so I'd never have to.
skylx08 watch uncut gems with Sandler actually, great dramatic turn for sandler
If film brain had a son he should be named pinky so his show could be called pinky and the film brain. LoL
I avoided this like the plague. Seriously Adam? WTF happened?! I bet you're drinking your sorrows away at a bar. Along with Dana Carvy. And Eddie Murphy. Because I swear you guys used to be funny...
The reason I was being so dim, cause I think Jim carry is funnier then Sandler.
Eddie Murphy proved he’s still funny last night.
@@HBarnill really?
Remember when Adam Sandler used be to be in good and funny movies
As much as I enjoy revisiting these BMB episodes tearing into Sandler's work, there's something about them that makes me queasy. It's not the reviews, mind you; it's the film itself. It's easy to see just how bad it is, even in the smaller doses shown here. Also, maybe it's because I've become better acquainted with openly trans people since joining the LGBT+ community myself, but there's something extremely gross about Sandler's portrayal of a woman in this. I know times have changed a lot even in the last few years, let alone when this film was forced upon theaters, but that still doesn't make his performance as Jill any less uncomfortable to watch.
If I want to watch something funny featuring twin characters who act like actual people in something that has a real heart behind it, I'll just stick with Gravity Falls.
I’m glad I saved my money, and saw this on tv.
I'm sorry that you had to subject yourself to "Jack and Jill" on TV.
How dim were you?
@@thema1998 I expected it to be bad, I didn’t like it at all, but I thought Al Pacino was funny, I thought Just Go With It And Going Overboard we’re worse though because I Hated both them
@@scottylewis8124 I saw Battlefield Earth on tv and laughed at how terrible it was
Um guys... what about fraternal twins? That’s like the only time they can be different genders
Frankly, you dodged a bullet by not reviewing Bucky Larson.
Didn't Smeghead already review that movie?
Yeah speaking of which can someone link me to where I can watch that review?
@@LaineMann It's on Smeghead's Vimeo account.
@@POLE7645 I don't think Vimeo exists anymore
@@LaineMann It still exist (I watched some episodes of SF Debris minutes ago).
You must be thinking of Vid.me.
review Bucky Larson already. Cinematic Excrement reviewed this years ago, and he had no repercussions.
This was not funny and not a high point of Adam Sandler's career. It was painfully unfunny and much of the "comedy" comes across as simply mean.
Won’t lie I like Adam Sandler and Katie Holmes when they are in good movies but when they’re in something like this movie, they are not good. Especially Adam Sandler. The issue with Katie is that she picks the wrong roles but she at least tried with her roles.
9:07 that, my friends, is what everyone says to Adam Sandler when he comes round.
9:05 actually.
One thing that really amazes me is that Sandler's character in Uncut Gems is a complete scumbag who's arguably far more detestable than either Jack or Jill, but he's still infinitely more likeable than either of these characters.
YESSS! I never saw this before!! Thank you for re-uploading it!
My favorite Sandler film is happy Gilmore, even though I’m not much of a fan of Sandler films.
The Master of Disguise rules!
At this point Dunkacchino is now a meme and yes there's even a Jojo video because of course almost every song or artist has to get the Jojo treatment (I swear Jojo is the dubstep of anime).
Funny. After seeing someone else's review of Jojo part six. I think the ending of it (Without spoiling anything) is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure's jumping the shark moment.
I remember this one! One of my favorites. Still, I have to disagree with you on them being both bad. I mean, Jack ain’t a saint but Jill is just a heinous person, I can’t feel for her at all. If she was on her phone at an Alamo Drafthouse, there would be no mercy.
Oh, yeah, and Jared Fogle, the Bill Cosby of restaurants...
Jared has been on a downward decline ever since he was convicted of child molestation.
Scotty Lewis Hes still lookin’ good... eatin’ those sandwiches...
Actually he was convicted of of possession of child porn. Granted it that’s not better, but I want to be accurate
Sheridan Mann I meant how he used to be beloved before being revealed to be a sex offender.
@@HBarnill Oh. True
Actually, the identical twins things might have worked under a far more creative directing team if Jill was assigned male at birth and she was explicitly transgender.
frankly i’m glad they didn’t think of that
Oh no. Please no. 😭
As awful as this movie is, I love how the fake Dunkin' Donuts commercial has gained such a cult following with great re-edits. Proofing that you can find joy even within the deepest misery.
It's back! Its a Christmas miracle.... Well it would be if this movie was so goddamn infuriating that had it not been for Film Brain's review this would be completely unwatchable.
Easily the worst movie of the 2010s.
@@scottylewis8124 Between this and Just Go With It I'm having trouble deciding which is worse.
@@TheSkully343 I feel sorry for Al Pacino. He's old and wasn't as smart as he was before.
@@scottylewis8124 Even if he's not in his prime the fact that he elevated the material (even if slightly) still puts him above Robert De Niro as 'The Godfocker'

i like how you review bad comedy movies since most reviewers wouldn't sink that low
Hey, Film Brain!
Will you by any chance review Bucky Larson??
RIP Funbucket
He deserved better than this...
Scientific research. It's great for you.
a classic BMB!
Thank u,thank you Matthew your my hero, your my favorite u tuber.
6:54 I would have but my family didn’t instead my mom pulled me out of the theater and explained why everyone was laughing at the movie and trying to justify the character Jill especially the one toothed grandma in the scene at the Mexican food party.

This was made years before that was a thing.
honestly the only impact this movie has made on me is the bird drinking chocolate scene and only because it's an old tumblr meme
Dude your squeaky voice actually reminds me of Jill lol
Wow, just amazing method acting from Adam Sandler. I mean I can never tell it was him the hole time. The way Jill spoke, I wasn't at all like listening to Jar Jar Binks choking on Snarf strangling Gollum, and the writing, timeless! And Al Pacino, his career is on a high note! The product placements make the movie! And everyone else, doing 1000% effort!
......I'm kidding!!!!
Wait um...are you sure this is a PG movie?😬 because I don’t believe THIS is PG
Oh yeah, it is rated PG in both the UK and US.
A Family Picture..
Clearly it's because the MPAA and BBFC assessors didn't want to watch the whole thing.
This should have been R!
@@scottylewis8124 More like Rated [NOT AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC VIEWING DUE TO BEING DESTROYED]
Courtesy of Al Pacino's wishes at the end of the film.
No note from the future for that one? Oh nevermind.
It was with this that Katie Holmes realized she'd do nothing but really bad movies if she stayed with Tom. Change my mind.
Considering she turned down the dark knight yes
Good for her for realizing that. I like her as an actress when she is actually in good stuff. Movies like this she is not a good actress.
yeh i loved pretty much all of sandler movies i would consider myself a big fan were yeh he can really be too mean spirited sometimes but i found enough i liked to ignore it i even found something to like in thats my boy if only for how trashy it was but i could not pretend it was good but this was the one movie of his i could find absolutely not one thing remotely good about it this has to be one of the most painful movies i seen i feel this movie is only made of all the worst parts of sandlers comedy and none of the good parts
I remember watching this movie with my family as a young teen, it was definitely a pivotal moment of garbage. Almost nobody was entertained except maybe once or twice, and the odd one out here was 9/10 at the time. We stayed for the whole thing, but we were openly trashing it to one another by the end 🎉💩
Is there a law that if you work for Channel Awesome you can’t review a film someone else has reviewed? The hell?
Yeah, "reviewer dibs" was something that a lot of fans took seriously. Although it was also something I did to try and respect other reviewers on the same site. Generally, though, it wasn't worth doing something after [redacted] had done it because you'd just comments telling you it was superfluous and he got most of the views already.
Film Brain Oh my god, another person whose videos I watch responded to me. I’m in awe.
@@FilmBrain Looking back that rule was kinda stupid.
Then again I suppose when it came to [REDACTED] he got first dibs because he was the money maker.
Which I find ironic considering that [REDACTED] reviewed this movie in particular just to back out of a controversy.
Matthew Cool I think I’ve actually seen that review. I think the beginning skit sums up Walker and the controversy in a nutshell.
14:10-14:15 Why is this cringeworthy in hindsight, exactly? I’m just curious and probably an idiot.
Jared Fogle had been found guilty of possession of child pornography.
Alex Klepp Oh
@@alexanderklepp same with Jeffrey Jones.
I’m Convinced that Adam Sandler Blackmailed Al Pacino into being in Jack and Jill LOL
Nevertheless Pacino is the Best Part Of Jack And J
"that's antisemitic."
"i'm atheist."
uh... yeahhh....? that's like saying "that's racist" and replying with "i'm white" or "that's homophobic" then "i'm straight." ???? uh, yeah? those ARE the groups of people usually guilty of doing those things....?????
$79 million for this pos movie.....Where the hell did the money go...straight to Sandler's Jamaica Fund? Didn't India's Space Program only cost $75 million to get started?
Merry Christmas
BRIAN FLIM!
15:30 cmon brain dont does de Niro was a great portrayel of the character
I think Jill's voice almost sounds like a combination of Gruntilda and Brutella (Beauty and the Beach from Pokemon), but it ends up sounding like a drunk version of them. Adam Sandler is not a good actor in my opinion.
Just watch Twins. It's much better written than this.
I blame josie and the pussycats (2001)
Ah yes the BIG one. The shit stopper.
Adam needs to stick to dramas..and not writing!
ThisIsLotso he actually writes some dramas but I agree
