| Why? |
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! WOW! Adam Sandler must need a payday if he thinks this movie was a good idea. Haven't we seen this about 5 times already? I don't understand why these types of movies are being made. Most of them aren't that funny and just about every comedian makes their way into this field. When I saw it I wasn't expecting much and that's exactly what I got. O and a bunch of silly commercials. Like Really Adam? REALLY!
STORY
Jack is a successful man no matter how you cut it. He has a beautiful wife and family, has a kickass job, and lives in a nice neighborhood. Too bad he is in hot water at his job and it looks like he might get canned. His boss flat out told him if you don't get Al Pacino to do a Dunkin Donuts commercial your career might be terminated. This puts him in a tough situation and doesn't know how to get someone like that to help him. To make matters worse his twin sister, Jill, comes to pay a visit.
His twin sister is well f**cking ugly! She has a great attitude though. Everyone seems to love her but Jack. He finds her annoying and a pain in the ass. Her antics only motivate him to search for good old AL and try to convince him to do the gig. He tells him no until he meets his lovely sister. He falls head over feet for her and she oddly does the same. Jack can't believe his eyes and neither could we.
He uses this to his advantage and tries to get Al to do his bidding. Too bad Jill might be rethinking her decision which gives Jack a scare. Can Jack save his career and keep these two unlikely love birds together? Will Jill ruin Jack's life? This is the part where I say head to the theater to find out but I don't want you to suffer.
ACTING
The acting here wasn't bad. Adam did have chemistry with everyone and Katie and Al made the film tolerable. It's the laughs and antics that was stupid. I think they tried too hard to come off as funny. There's a lot of hit and misses here that the actors couldn't hide it. It's a shame because with all these talented actors this department should have scored higher. It was an overall fail.
SPECIAL EFFECTS
The effects here was pretty decent. Seeing two Adam Sandlers almost made me vomit. The colors are beaming and the scenery is an eye catcher. I love all the different wardrobes and how they got Al Pacino to do his thing in old fashioned clothes. The film would be watchable if the movie wasn't so bad.
WRITING AND DIRECTING
The film was written by Adam and Steve Koren. They put together a lack luster story that flops. The dialog is sloppy and the antics aren't always that funny. At least the director, Dennis Dugan, showed what he could do. The movie is filmed nicely and it seems that he was having fun with the camera. I can see Dennis directing more movies. I just hope Adam isn't a part of it.
THE END
Wait for Netflix. It isn't worth your money. It does have some funny moments but not enough to garner coughing up 10 or more bucks to see this film. Movies like this need to stop because It's a waste of money and time. I just hope Hollywood gets the memo.
