Back to Family Film Guide: Holiday Movies 2011
'Jack and Jill'
Sony
Opening: Nov. 11
Who's In It?: Adam Sandler, Katie Holmes, Al Pacino
What's It About?: In his latest entry in "family comedy," Sandler plays both the main character, Jack, and his female twin, Jill, who arrives in Los Angeles for a holiday visit and then refuses to leave. Hilarity ensues as we see double the Sandler -- one a successful family man (Holmes plays his wife) and the other a crasser version of him, but with boobs.
Who Will Enjoy It?: Tween and young teen boys, since the humor of Sandler-in-drag seems especially suited to barely pubescent males (although there are plenty of grown-ups who dig it too). There will probably be just enough double entendres to make the PG-rated jokes a bit too risque for really young kids, but 9-12-year-olds will go gaga for Sandler pretending to be his own sister.
