• Adam is crying into his bags of money reading these comments. Poor Guy, people are so mean.

  Don’t worry Adam, you will have some dry bags of money when Jack&Jill does 150 million domestic. It will suck, you know it sucks as will your next movie but you will be counting your money

  • Yeah Jack & Jill might do 150 domestically… then again when the first zookeeper trailer came out, bet happy madison and jack giarraputo thought Zookeeper was gonna do 150 too. things might be changing for Sandler & crew. Just Go With It didn’t do all that well especially considering production cost + marketing.

• I don’t mean to sound like a brainless idiot but I just go to Adams movies to look at him for 2 hours , who cares what the story is; his comic gestures and animated dialogue is captivating ; oh and did I mention he’s gorgeous !!!!!
  Xoxoxo plain and simple

• The mash-up is very funny – but Sandler’s film career isnt. Yes, his films MAKE $ and that is what the show business end is all about. Fine. But guess what? he could try and make good comedies, couldn’t he? I know 11 year old boys will laugh at him as a fat girl in this. But Sandler’s film are real schlock – lazy, unoriginal, by the numbers. I remember being on a plane once and they were going to show “CLICK” and a few passengers muttered “God. No!”

• I think it’s simple…between Jack and Doug and the sycophants who populate Sandler’s business (Happy Madison) and life…nobody has the balls to say “NO!”

  It’s an old story that isn’t exclusive to Hollywood — Detroit, Wall Street, big steel, etc. etc. etc. — but is really exemplified here.

  Saying “oh, no!” after the fact isn’t the same as say “NO!” before or during.

• The one and only Sandler film I’ve seen (or been able to sit through) is Punch-Drunk Love. I thought he was very good in that understated role and there was hope for him yet. Boy was I wrong! I guess that one can be chalked up to working with a genius director/writer with the balls to reign him in and actually get him to act rather than perform.

• A hilariously overwrought moment from HARDCORE + the singular worst looking film trailer in recent memory = comedy gold.

• It’s good, but the idea was done better with the “Beverly Hills Chihuahua vs. Six Sense” video from the Rifftrax guys.

• So, this “Jack & Jill” thing is REAL? I mean, it’s a REAL movie? These aren’t just some clips whipped up for part of a gag in a real film – something like “Funny People,” but where we see the depths to which this particular actor/character has sunks?

  I mean… really? He’s actually playing his twin sister? This isn’t just a quick sight gag?

  Oh… dear.

• Does Adam Sandler have a huge drug problem? If not, why on earth is he doing these shit movies? He should take a couple years off, so we forget what a (unfunny) joke he is and come back and do a good movie that actually makes people laugh.
  He makes me want to punch people.

• At first I was shocked. But at the end of the trailer I felt sorry for Adam Sandler. Such an embarrassment. It’s not a trailer that you hate with all your heart. That trailer was just PATHETIC and SAD. How on earth could Adam look at himself in drag and think that this is ok and this is funny.

  Not for a second you can think that this is a woman. And it showed that Adam can not act at all. Even little. He is even worst actor then Jennifer Aniston. It’s amazing how he plays the same character in every movie. And then when he tries something else – it shows that he has zero acting talent.

  I really think that this movie will bomb. Bomb hard. Adam has very good box-office history but this one is so unfunny and pathetic that even his fans will not see it.

• Adam’s film looks great. But the GCS reaction would be better on the HBO Spector film starring Pacino.

• George C. Scott saw the trailer for Adam Sandler’s new movie… And unlike Hitler, he was powerless to rant.

  I’m sorry, George. So very sorry.

• This is exactly my reaction to any Adam Sandler movie. I feel George’s pain.
