'Jack and Jill' Trailer Makes You Want To Mourn The Loss Of Comedy

If you thought Zookeeper looked bad, I don't think you've seen anything yet.  Jack and Jill, the latest Adam Sandler comedy, is about Jack and his sister Jill who visits him in California and never leaves; both roles are played by Sandler.   

One of my favorite comedies from him was Happy Gilmore.  That was comedy gold -- 90s comedy gold.  His most recent films, such as Grown Ups, Just Go With It, Zohan, and Chuck and Larry were just plain garbage and I still don't know how he's still making movies.  The trailer for this film just reinforces that. 

Don’t believe me; hit the jump to witness the carnage. 

"Haha, get it, the lead actor is playing two roles; OMG that’s hilarious."  You see, the problem with internet blogging is that you can’t really tell when I’m being sarcastic;  This is that time.  I don’t remember laughing at a man dressed in drag since To Wong Foo.  Seems as though the comedy team team had to scrape the bottom of the barrel for laughs. 

This looks like a series of rejected sketches from SNL spliced together to make a feature film.  There is only one funny part in this whole trailer and that was the pony scene.  I wonder if Allen Covert’s presence as a bum is a nod to Happy Gilmore where he played the bum who caddied for Gilmore.  Al Pacino is also in the trailer, forcing out his lines to try to make them funny.  It's truly an embarrassment.

Adam Sandler, Katie Holmes, and Al Pacino all star in this trash due out November 11^th, 2011.

funny people was good, its kinda funny that his character in that movie was him making fun of himself for selling out.
