What a Drag: Sandler to Play “Jack and Jill”
At The Movies - Film News and Reviews —
Adam Sandler…needs a hit.
Variety reports that Adam Sandler is set to star in “Jack and Jill,” a romantic comedy written by Steve Koren. Sandler will play both Jack and his twin sister Jill. No word on whether they will be walking up a hill to fetch a pail of water, etc., etc.
Playing twins? This is obviously a blatant bid for an Oscar by Sandler. The only more surefire method would be to play someone with a split personality. Of course, if he really wants to seal the deal, he could make his girl self ugly; movie stars going plain is another tactic. He might want to gain weight too.

Adam Sandler Acts Like A Girl In Jack & Jill Remember how in Funny People Adam Sandler plays a character who makes a bunch of high-concept broad comedies that are obvious cash grabs? With Waterboy and Little Nicky on his resume, it was hard not to assume that these fake movies were somewhat self-aware stabs at himself, perhaps an acknowledgement of past mistakes from an older, more talented Sandler. But who am I kidding? This is Adam Sandler. Still Variety says Sandler is a changed man. No, hes not going all Bill Murray, working on credible indie flicks, showing off ...

Adam Sandler starring in Jack And Jill

Looks like Adam Sandler has found his next high concept comedy - he's working on Jack And Jill. We're not sure how closely it's based on the nursery rhyme about the twins going up the hill (hopefully it'll have a meatier plot that one of the characters falling down), but it'll be a romantic comedy. And Sandler's planning to play both main characters… Steve Koren, a former Saturday Night Live writer who used to work with Sandler back in the day, is in charge of the script. There's no word on a director yet, but Sony wants the film shooting early next year for a release in 2011… ...

Sadly, Sandler won't be falling in love with himself, but will rather be playing twins who I assume have their own love stories. And who have a repertoire of three funny voices they use. Steve Koren, the comic mastermind who wrote Superstar , Bruce Almighty and Click , has written the script. People of America, you could have avoided this by simply supporting Sandler in a real role. Now it's too late. via Variety

According to Variety, in the upcoming romantic comedy Jack And Jill Adam Sandler will star as Jack and his twin sister Jill. That’s right, Sandler will play his own twin sister.
