What happens

Jack and Jill is a 2011 American comedy film co-written by and starring Adam Sandler in a dual role as the titular twin siblings. Directed by Dennis Dugan, the film also stars Katie Holmes and Al Pacino. It tells the story of an advertising executive who dreads the Thanksgiving visit of his unemployed twin sister, who overstays into Hanukkah at a time when he is instructed to procure Al Pacino's appearance in an upcoming Dunkin' Donuts commercial. Jack and Jill was released on November 11, 2011, by Sony Pictures Releasing. The film was panned by critics, who criticized the humor and premise, although Pacino's performance received some praise. Many have since considered the film to be one of the worst films ever made. At the 32nd Golden Raspberry Awards, the film was nominated for a record of 12 Razzies in all ten categories. It became the first film to sweep the Razzies, winning in each category, including Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Actor, Worst Actress and Worst Screenplay. The film's ten wins was also a record for most Razzies won by any film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
