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, but that's about it. So seeing that the Adam Sandler movie Jack and Jill is the first-ever film to take all ten 'major' golden raspberry awards doesn't mean much, I think, other than doling out all the awards to one film is an attempt at comedy worthy of, well, Jack and Jill.

For the record, the film's 'awards' were: Worst Picture, Worst Actor, Worst Actress, Worst Supporting Actor, Worst Supporting Actress, Worst Screen Ensemble, Worst Director, Worst Remake Rip-Off or Sequel (for emulating Ed Wood's Glen or Glenda), Worst Screen Couple, and Worst Screenplay. Adam Sandler is involved in almost all of those categories, though Al Pacino and David Spade scored the supporting jabs. A couple of those categories were split between Jack and Jill and another Sandler picture, Just Go With It. And yet, amid all that, there was no award given for the fact that Jack and Jill somehow cost $80 million. The Razzies: not yet comprehensive.
