'Jack And Jill' Rotten Tomatoes Score: A Perfect 0 (UPDATED)

Another day, another film to earn that most coveted of titles -- the 0 percent Rotten Tomatoes score. "Jack and Jill," the latest Adam Sandler comedy that will likely do perplexingly well has remained unmoved from its perfect zero, with 45 reviews and counting. The final word from Rotten Tomatoes:

"Although it features an inexplicably committed performance from Al Pacino, Jack and Jill is impossible to recommend on any level whatsoever."

It's hardly a surprise this film didn't charm the critics -- consider the premise: Adam Sandler plays both Jack and his sister Jill, Katie Holmes plays Sandler's wife (WHAT) and Al Pacino (WHY) shows up to fall in love with the cross-dressing Sandler.

The critics clearly had more fun writing their reviews than they did watching "Jack and Jill," pulling out phrases like "stupefyingly unfunny," phrases that are reserved eagerly for moments like this:

"It's pretty sad if you're a comic and Al Pacino is the funniest thing in your movie." - Lou Lumenick, New York Post

"I'm sorry to say that this may be Mr. Pacino's most convincing performance in years." - A.O. Scott, New York 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. Pois, TIME

"The saddest thing about Jack & Jill is that we allowed Adam Sandler to get to this point." - Katey Rich, CinemaBlend

"It is indeed every bit as lousy as it looks. So kudos to the marketing department, I guess. They nailed this one." - Eric D. Snider, Film.com

"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

UPDATE: "Jack and Jill" gets one sort-of positive review and is now up to two percent. The review, similar to others, calls Pacino the film's saving grace.

UPDATE: We're now up to two positive reviews, folks! The second comes to us from Screen Daily, who also save much of their praise for Pacino.

Watch the trailer for "Jack and Jill," if you dare:

Poor Adam. A talented guy who can't get a good script.
"Spanglish" was as close as he's gotten to something worthwhile.
The right thing could make a world of difference.
Yet he still makes way more than I do.

The thing about Sandler's humor is that it's presented as though he's watching himself in a mirror. It's very self-conscious. 50 First Dates was pretty good, though.

I like 50 dates except when he made fun of the less than attractive coworker. I thought i was mean spirited and not funny.

Well, like the movie's tag line says: "And it won't be pretty."

:)

Glad I missed it.

I can only think of one thing I ever saw from Sandler that was funny. The scene in Happy Gilmore where he and Bob Barker get in a fight on the golf course was hilarious but that was more Bob Barker's doing that Sandlers.

I know we're all different but it seems like Sandler's gig is wearing pretty thin lately.

It was thin before, it's translucent by now.

He's a funny guy but the scripts that he chooses are just horrendous, so its the selection of movies he chooses to do that are atrocious and a career suicide. he needs to be challenged to do a very comedic movie because i will not go and say Adam Sandler is not funny, he is.

Strange. He used to be funny on SNL, long ago. But now it's like he chooses projects based on how putrid they are.

Adam Sandler has always struck me as one of those guys who would be fun to hang out with, but his movies are horrible. Sadly, I feel the same way about Ben Stiller and his 'work'.

Ben Stiller is another one who's comedy I don't get. Maybe my funny bone isn't mainstream, give me Mystery Science Theater 3000 and I'm on the floor laughing so hard I can't breathe. Sandler and Stiller I'd sooner stick my finger in a light socket than watch one of their movies.

What I want to know is what Pacino was thinking. Does he really need the money that bad?

When I first saw the trailer I thought "how did they convince Sandler to make an Adam Sandler parody? Did the South Park guys write this?"

I guess Rob Schneider will be next. "Rob Schneider is... a duck?!?! or a pig or something."
