Adam Sandler Considers Summer School

He may produce a remake Like a bad student who just wont pay attention, an attempt to remake 1987 Carl Reiner comedy Summer School has been cooling its heels in the development headmasters office since at least 2005. But now it might finally get a real shot at graduating to cinema college with some unlikely assistance: Adam Sandler. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Sandlers Happy Madison company is in negotiations to help produce the film. Theres no sign that he wants to turn it into a possible starring vehicle yet, but hed naturally have that option if he liked the eventual script. The original featured Mark Harmon as an easy-going gym teacher named Freddy Shoop who has big plans for the summer. But his holiday dreams are ruined when hes forced to cancel them to teach a bunch of misfits in an English class. Surprisingly, his laidback style actually helps to inspire his y (Read More)

ADAM SANDLER SUCKS

And now we have further proof. In a Razzie first, the award-to-end-all-awards (for some) show that honors the WORST in movies, a film won not just a couple of awards, but it won them all. Every. Single. One. The shit-show that was Jack and Jill took home all ten awards given out yesterday, which was also April Fools Day (another ...

JACK AND JILL Sweeps Literally Every Single Category of the Razzies

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. List via The Play (Read More)

Adam Sandler Sets Razzies Record With 'Jack and Jill'

Comedian's reviled drag comedy won a record 10 Razzies. By Gil Kaufman Adam Sandler in "Jack and Jill" Photo: Sony Pictures Adam Sandler is the worst. That's not a personal opinion, it's just a fact based on his across-the-board sweep at the 32nd Annual Golden Raspberry Awards on Sunday night. The comedy star, who is already a Razzies regular, set a new high in lows at the event, when his critically bashed drag comedy, "Jack and Jill," &#8232 became first movie to win every single trophy handed out at the annual Oscars spoof honoring the movie industry's least laudable work. The film, in which Sandler plays a brother and sister pair of twins, was already a record-setter before the night began thanks to an unprecedented 11 nominations. Among the "wins" for Sandler: Worst Picture, Worst Actor (for Sandler's work in "Jack & Jill" and "Just Go With It" (Read More)

Adam Sandler and ‘Jack and Jill’ Pull a Huge Awards Sweep! (At the Razzies)

Briefly: As spoof awards go, The Razzies are pretty rote. Calling out films like Battlefield Earth and Sex and the City 2 for being terrible doesn't take a whole lot of effort. Sure, those movies suck, but they're not interesting failures, just things to be ignored. Maybe their terrible qualities are good for a chuckle, ...

Sandler has become a good actor of late, but here he gives over most of his talents to Jill, who is so screechy, needy, and lovelorn that you can hardly blame Jack for wanting to fade into the background.

Lazy and slapdash, the work of a comedian trusting too much in his own hilariousness.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Feels like an elementary school recess that's gone on too long, the merrymaking strained and the participants looking tired even when they're in full comic dudgeon.

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

More than 24 hours has passed since I watched the new Adam Sandler movie Jack and Jill and I am still dead inside.

Mary F. Pols, TIME Magazine

The pic's general stupidity, careless direction and reliance on a single-joke premise that was never really funny to begin with are only the most obvious of its problems.

Andrew Barker, Variety

I'm sorry to say that this may be Mr. Pacino's most convincing performance in years.

A.O. Scott, New York Times

Al Pacino romantically pursuing a cross-dressing Adam Sandler around a medieval castle should be stunningly surreal, so it's a not-inconsiderable failure that Jack and Jill manages only dim, desperate outrageousness instead.

Nick Schager, Village Voice

Comedy moved on from the mid-1990s, and it's time Sandler did, too. \Jack and Jill\ even gives fart jokes a bad name.

Jake Coyle, Associated Press

A comedy that has one good joke, four strange cameos and a spirit so juvenile kids may wonder what Sandler's deal is.

Scott Bowles, USA Today

There are moments in \Jack and Jill\ that are genuinely funny - and, just like countless family reunions, there are moments when you can't wait for it to end.

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

Jack and Jill is total bust, a stupefyingly unfunny and shamelessly lazy farce packed with cringe-worthy jokes and overt product placement.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The whole drag routine just isn't all that funny, and the character eases from intolerably abrasive to tolerably dumb only when it is time to shoehorn in the usual nominal life lessons.

Tom Russo, Boston Globe

It is also typical in that it contains a lot of witless bathroom and ethnic humor...
