Jack and Jill

Quote:
Jack and Jill, Adam Sandler’s new movie, apparently is so terrible that it currently a 4% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. That number is just as bad as it sounds. But it didn’t get that trough-grazing figure all on its own! The truly scathing reviews from nearly every movie critic brought it to that rare nadir of approval. Here’s a sampling of the harshest (and probably most accurate) review excerpts:

“Sandler ought to join Lindsay Lohan at the morgue for this one. Watching him bathe corpses would be more amusing.” — David Edelstein, New York Magazine

“Picture Tootsie if everyone in the cast had a head injury. That’s Jack and Jill.” — Drew McWeeny, HitFix

“Sandler [...] will likely one day sneeze out a movie inspired by his skills as a cinematic con artist. He will name the character ‘Poop Masterson,’ and it will make $100 million.” — Matt Pais, RedEye Chicago

“Jack and Jill even gives fart jokes a bad name.” — Jake Coyle, Associated Press

“Future generations will study this film and ask, ‘How can something like this happen?’” — Mike Ryan, Moviefone

“More than 24 hours has passed since I watched the new Adam Sandler movie Jack and Jill and I am still dead inside.” — Mary Pols, TIME

“Suddenly, sitting through The Human Centipede again doesn’t seem like such a bad idea.” — Rene Rodriguez, McClatchy
