Well this is quite something. The “Adam Sandler plays a brother and sister” movie Jack and Jill has just made cinematic history: the “comedy” swept literally every single category of the Razzie Awards, which honor the worst in cinematic achievement. Sandler took home Worst Actor and Worst Actress, Al Pacino nabbed Worst Supporting Actor, and the film itself was honored with a triple Worst Couple for Sandler and Katie Holmes, Sandler and Pacino, and Sandler and Sandler. All in all, it was a pretty great/terrible night for Adam Sandler.
Hit the jump to see the full list of nominees that Jack and Jill bested in each category. I keep hoping in vain that the actor will try his hand at drama again, but Grown Ups 2 is on the horizon and this unfunny streak appears to have no end in sight. As such, I’m assuming this isn’t the last time we see Sandler’s name on a Razzie list.

That’s a shame.
I’ll always remember the Adam Sandler that made Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy, and The Wedding Singer. Why when comics start families do they immediately become mediocre and unfunny. Its one thing to make movies your kids can watch, its another to throw your career down the gutter. Eddie Murphy is another example that comes to mind. How movies like Grown Ups & Jack & Jill make money is worrisome. And how does it cost $79-80 million dollars to produce these movies. Ridiculous waste of money.
congradulations adam sandler, you douchebag sellout!
Hey at least he made money!
George C Scott would laugh in his grave right now….
I never saw Jack and Jill. Was it really THAT bad?
…you saw the trailers right? or the pictures (above), the posters, or the mere thought of it.
Awesome, but unfortunately, Jack and Jill isn’t applicable for the rip off category. Jack and Jill is about siblings, and Glen or Glenda is about sex changes. So that was kind of cheating.
