    Um, yeah, I don't think I'll be going to see this.

    George C. Scott wasn't too impressed, either:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    ―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray

    You want to know what the really depressing thing about this movie is?

    It's will likely do extremely well at the Box Office.

    Jesus. I honestly thought this was a Funny Or Die sketch. Un-freakin-believable.

    It looks like one of those fake movies from Funny People.

    A family man is forced to deal with his twin sister from the Bronx comes to Los Angeles for a visit -- then won't leave.

    Its so bad, there is a word missing in the IMDB summary, and no one is bothered to fix it.

    I thought this lead character plays his nemesis phase had finished with the nutty professor/big mommas house bollix.

    For the first time since Meet the Spartans, we may have to pull out the old 'If anyone says anything positive about this film they're permabanned from the film forum' rule :P

    From the sounds of it, anyone who paid to see that movie has been punished enough already.

    And people question the point of critics. :cool:

    Apparently most of the budget was for Sandler ($15-20 million I think) and a few other actor pals of his.

    Seriously?

    Happy Gilmore? Billy Madison? The Wedding Singer? Big Daddy? Punch Drunk Love?

    The guy's had some gems.. although yeah, he's well past his prime.

    I forgot the Wedding Singer, yeah the rest are sh1te though. Funny People had potential but it was about an hour too long.

    I refuse to watch anything that idiot is in after sitting through half of Grown Ups.

    Katie Holmes has landed a Razzie nomination for her role in the film. Shes nominated for the Worst Supporting Actress.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,426 ✭✭✭Roar


    The Half in the Bag boys absolutely destroyed this, and suggested that the entire film was a ponzi scheme to make money for Sandler and his buddies.

    DERP!

    ADAM Sandler sweeps board for worst acting and film awards at Golden Raspberry awards for his cross-dressing romp Jack and Jill.
    Adam Sandler and his cross-dressing romp Jack and Jill set a Razzies record by sweeping 10 Golden Raspberry awards, for the worst that Hollywood had to offer in 2011.

    For the first time in its 32-year history the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation dishonored the same film in every category, either as a film or for its performances, direction, and writing.

    Sandler himself, who had been nominated for a record 11 categories for the Hollywood anti-awards, won Worst Actor and Worst Actress - for playing both the male and female leads in "Jack and Jill."

    The 45-year-old also won for Worst Screen Couple - either with Al Pacino, Katie Holmes, or himself in drag - and Worst Screenplay in the Razzies, billed as an "antidote to Tinseltown's annual glut of self-congratulatory awards."

    Veteran Pacino - who played himself in the movie - won Worst Supporting Actor, while David Spade won Worst Supporting Actress, as "Monica."

    The "winners" of the awards, nominees for which are chosen by 657 voters in 46 US states and 17 foreign countries, are usually announced on the Saturday before the Oscars.

    But this year organizers changed the timetable, announcing the nominees on the eve of the Oscars, while saving the prize-giving show to April 1 - April Fools' Day.

    Nominees for the Razzies rarely turn up to claim their awards up at the spoof event.

    Actress Halle Berry turned up in 2005, and Sanda Bullock gamely appeared last year, handing out DVD copies of her offending performance in box office flop "All About Steve."

    Unlike the prestigious gold-plated Oscar statuettes, the Razzie trophy is in the form of a raspberry, roughly the size of a golf ball, sprayed with gold paint and nestled on a reel of old Super 8 film.

    It has an estimated value of about five dollars.

    Last year's big Razzie winner was martial arts fantasy flick "The Last Airbender," for worst movie, worst director, worst screenplay and worst supporting actor, while "Sex and the City 2" won one of the dubious honors.

    Razzies winners:

    Worst Picture: Jack and Jill

    Worst Actor: Adam Sandler, Jack and Jill and "Just Go With It."

    Worst Actress: Adam Sandler, as Jill in Jack and Jill

    Worst Supporting Actress: David Spade, as Monica in Jack and Jill

    Worst Supporting Actor: Al Pacino, as himself in Jack and Jill

    Worst Screen Ensemble: the entire cast of Jack and Jill

    Worst Director: Dennis Dugan, Jack and Jill

    Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel: Jack and Jill (remake/rip-off of Ed Woods' "Glen or Glenda").

    Worst Screen Couple: Adam Sandler & EITHER Katie Holmes, Al Pacino OR Adam Sandler, Jack and Jill ).

    Worst Screenplay: Jack and Jill screenplay by Steve Koren & Adam Sandler.

    The Razzies: about as 'funny' and insightful as your average Adam Sandler film!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,439 ✭✭✭Skinfull


    I like the Wedding Singer and Happy Gilmore always goes a few laughs but that's about it for his comedy roles. This J&J should be avoided like the plague!

    Having said that he is quite good in the dramatic role in Reign over me where he plays a man who is recovering after his family were killed in 9/11.
