I’m not going to see it, but I’m curious: Why does the kid have a pepper grinder on his head?

I also refuse to go see this - but there was another commercial that has him with other stuff taped to him - I recall there being a line stated by someone else in the scene that the kid liked to tape stuff to himself.

When I think of all the levels of decision makers that had to come together to put this movie together, my mind reels.

Everybody knows this will be terrible, but will it make money?

I hope it dies a quick death, but Sandler’s track record is immensely profitable. Do people think he’s finally overreached himself or can he truly never underestimate the terrible taste of the average moveigoer?

When _South Park_ referenced this movie a few months back, I thought they were simply spitballing the worst idea possible for comic effect. I was shocked to learn _Jack and Jill_ was a real film.

As of this morning, opening day, it sits at 0 for 38 at [Rotten Tomatoes](http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/jack_and_jill_2011/).

Most recent Sandler films have poor reviews, but this is supremely bad.
