Adam Sandler plays both Jack and Jill. Can an Oscar nomination be far behind?
Posted by Patrick Sauriol on Wednesday, October 28, 2009
This month's new Adam Sandler movie project to report is officially classified as set with the romantic comedy genre. Since I am such a huge fan of Mr. Sandler's material, especially the movies where he acts like an emotionally stunted man-child (oh wait, that's nearly all* Adam Sandler movies! Silly me!), I can't let it slip by my attention about the facts concerning his new project, Jack and Jill.
Variety's Tatiana Siegel, who's more polite in holding back any derision she has for Sandler, spills some facts about the movie but doesn't have more of the movie's premise save for the factoid that the SNL-er will be playing both the Jack and the Jill twin brother and sister roles in the film. How the rest of the film is shaped storywise remains a mystery for now, much like the fate of Amelia Earhart, the location of Jimmy Hoffa and who goes to see Adam Sandler movies in theaters.
Columbia Pictures is the home for Jack and Jill and the studio wants it out offending film critics across the land sometime in 2011. Sandler is producting through his Happy Madison company along with Todd Garner (Paul Blart: Mall Cop, the remake of The Fog).
* I know Sandler's done some dramatic work that's gotten decent reviews like Reign Over Me and Punch-Drunk Love. I haven't seen those pictures yet so I could still upgrade the man's role in society one day. But for now, eesh.

You should see Punch-Drunk Love. It is likely the best movie he will ever be a part of.
It manages to embrace the trappings of Sandlerism (manchild, outbursts, stupid little dance) in a way that is engaging and endearing.
