                Jack and Jill- 0% Certified Rotten

                What the heck is it: As if one Adam Sandler per movie wasn’t bad enough, this time there’s two. Sandler plays both his usual useless man-child role AND his gratingly annoying houseguest from hell sister. Awesome.

                Critics said: “More than 24 hours has passed since I watched the new Adam Sandler movie Jack and Jill and I am still dead inside.” –Mary F. Polls, Time  

                “Comedy moved on from the mid-1990s, and it's time Sandler did, too. "Jack and Jill" even gives fart jokes a bad name.” –Jake Coyle, Associated Press

                “More bluntly than ever before (and that's saying something), Sandler uses an entire film to let his loyal fans know that he thinks they're all a bunch of stupid *******.” –Jaime N. Christley, Slant Magazine
