8 Comedy Films You Should Die Before You See

5. Jack And Jill

This Adam Sandler vehicle has everything: anti-Semitism, fat jokes, overbearing product placement and Sandler in a dual role, playing an advertising exec as well as his brash sister. It swept the board at the Razzies, becoming the first film in their history to win eleven awards, making it the bad movie equivalent of Ben Hur. Anyway, the central €˜gag€™ is how unfeminine Sandler looks in a dress, how obnoxious (s)he is etc, so imagine the hijinks that ensue when Al Pacino (as €œHimself€) falls for sister Sandler, which the brother goes along with because he wants the actor to appear in his commercial for Dunkin Donuts. After much banter about female hygiene, the film pulls out all to stops to give the audience what it really wants: a sequence where Pacino, surrounded by dancing donuts, starts rapping about junk food. If you like low-aiming comedies that condescend to their audience, this one€™s for you.
