10 Insufferable Films That Must Be April Fool Jokes

2. Jack And Jill (2011)

When Adam Sandler was unable to walk a straight line with a glass balanced on his head while saying the alphabet backwards, his forfeit was to make a movie with anti-Semitism, fat jokes, overbearing product placement and Sandler in a dual role, playing an advertising exec as well as his brash sister. There€™s much banter about female hygiene until the film pulls a switch that no comedy ought to and attempts to make us feel sympathy for this ghastly character, which is when a low-aiming, mildly diverting picture turns into a thoroughly nauseating one that doesn€™t so much condescend to its audience as take them to be dribbling, gurgling test subjects. Then along comes a sight that no Al Pacino fan ought to see. Unlikely to be the scene you€™ll see when it comes time to do The Godfather€™s TV obits, Pacino sheds some of that cumbersome dignity as he raps about Dunkin Donuts while surrounded (why not?) by dancing donuts. How does Sandler convince so many Oscar winners (see also: Christopher Walken, Susan Sarandon) to make fools of themselves?
