So why did this movie win every single Razzie award?

IT IS THE first time it has ever happend in the history of The Razzies – but Adam Sandler’s movie “Jack and Jill” has won ALL the Razzie awards. This is the first time that one movie has won all of the awards.

The Razzies are typically held the night before the Oscars, but the event was rescheduled this year for April Fool’s Day.

Does this clip give an insight as to why it was acclaimed with such an honour?

I haven’t liked him in anything since ‘The Wedding Singer’ and that’s coming up to 15 years old soon. Don’t know how he still gets work.

  Its because he is also 1 of the producers in most movies he makes.

If u haven’t seen it you’d do well to check out Punch Drunk Love directed by the fantastic Paul Thomas Anderson -him wot wrote and directed There Will be Blood, Magnolia and Boogie nights. Really unexpectedly good performance from Sandler, albeit in a non-comic role.

Well deserved. Any film that features Adam Sandler should come with a health warning, unless you’re part of the ‘mindless jocks’ end of the US market..

this guy reminds me of Eddie Murphy, coming out with the same sort of cheap comedy movies, except Eddie Murphy used to be funny before whereas this guy had happy gilmore which was only ok at best

I’ve yet to watch an Adam Sandler film that I found even slightly funny, his name on the credits is usually enough to make me avoid a film. I’ve no idea why he gets so many parts.

Can’t comment, wouldn’t watch anything he’s made since Happy Gilmore. However I did watch Immortals, how that wasn’t voted worst movie I’ll never know…

They usually put all the funny bits in the ads, but this time the ad didn’t even have any. I used to be a fan of Adam Sandler, he made some great films but now he’s just churning them out and seriously missing the mark.

Adam should resign on the basis that he is a crap actor and all of his films are shite.

This a clever film? Hahahahahahaha, yeah right. It’s horrendous tat.
Punch Drunk Love was a good film. But it had Emma Watson, Luis Guzman and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in it too………
