'Jack and Jill' trailer stinks big time

The trailer for Dennis Dugan's next shitty movie is here. It's titled "Jack and Jill," it stars Adam Sandler in two roles (as if one weren't enough already), and it pretty much looks like the worst film of the decade. In fact, this trailer is so terrible, I couldn't even watch it all the way through.

Sandler plays Jack, a family man who struggles to deal with his sister Jill (also Sandler) when she visits and won't leave. Yes it sounds stupid, and yes, it will be stupid, I guarantee it. This holiday season, all I wish for is an end to all those Dennis Dugan/Adam Sandler collaborations.

For some odd reason, Katie Holmes and Al Pacino also ended up in this mess. The good thing is that "Jack and Jill" won't be release until Nov. 11, 2011. Either way, the people responsible for funding films like this one should be sent to, let's say, the moon. We don't deserve this...

Movie Review: "Just Go With It"

Seen on: February 17, 2011

The players: Director: Dennis Dugan, Writers: Timothy Dowling, Allan Loeb, Cast: Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Brooklyn Decker, Nick Swardson

Facts of interest: None.

The plot: In an effort to hook up with a sexy young woman, plastic surgeon Danny pretends he's stuck in a terrible marriage.

Our thoughts: Jennifer Aniston and Brooklyn Decker look pretty good in Dennis Dugan’s new comedy “Just Go with It,” but sadly enough, that’s all this film has to offer. Granted, it’s not the worst Adam Sandler flick I’ve seen so far, but it terms of storyline and plot, it’s almost just as moronic and unnecessary as most of the actor’s recent big-screen escapades.

Watch Adam Sandler in the trailer for 'Just Go With It'

Adam Sandler and Dennis Dugan are teaming up yet again for the upcoming romantic comedy "Just Go With It," and the first trailer for the film also starring Jennifer Aniston is now online. Watch above.

The flick stars Sandler as a dude who pretends he's in a terrible marriage in order to win over chicks. Now he's asking his friend (Aniston) to pose as his divorced wife so he can hook up with Brooklyn Decker.

Sounds funnier than it actually looks, but I admit "Just Go With It" already feels better than the recent Dugan/Sandler flicks "Grown Ups" and "You Don't Mess with the Zohan." "It" opens Feb. 11, 2011.

Katie Holmes joins 'Jack and Jill' comedy

Yes, Katie Holmes is still acting, and she's currently in negotiations to star in Dennis Dugan's upcpoming Columbia Pictures comedy "Jack and Jill," which also stars Adam Sandler and Al Pacino.

THR says Sandler plays Jack, a family man who struggles to deal with his sister when she visits and won't leave. Here comes the shocker: Sandler will play both characters. Holmes plays Jack's wife.

Katie Holmes hasn't done anything major since "Batman Begins," but her recent smaller roles include "Mad Money," "The Romantics," "The Son of No One" and "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark."

Movie Review: "Grown Ups"

Seen on: June 22, 2010

The players: Director: Dennis Dugan, Writers: Fred Wolf, Adam Sandler, Cast: Adam Sandler, David Spade, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, Kevin James

Facts of interest: Dugan also helmed "Happy Gilmore" and "Big Daddy."

The plot: Five friends reunite after they learn their high-school basketball coach passes away. They spend a weekend in a cabin to honor him.

Our thoughts: Dennis Dugan’s new comedy “Grown Ups” isn’t as disastrous as I initially expected, but the film starring Adam Sandler and his buddies fails to reach beyond the mediocrity that surrounds it. It’s a decently paced flick boasting an energetic cast and some so-so jokes, but what it really lacks is an interesting enough story. In truth, there’s not much of a story in this thing to begin with…

New 'Grown Ups' trailer still not funny enough

A new trailer for Dennis Dugan's upcoming comedy "Grown Ups" has popped up online, and sadly enough, it still isn't really that funny. In fact, I realize I didn't even smile once. That's not to say the movie will be a terrible disaster, but in my book, it does look crappy at this stage.

The story follows four old friends who haven't seen each other for decades and one day decide to reunite for a Fourth of July weekend. Yes, it's yet anohter retreat comedy, and it certainly doesn't look innovative. Kevin James bumps against trees, Rob Schneider makes out with an old lady, and blah, blah, blah.

Adam Sandler, David Spade, Salma Hayek, Maria Bello and Jamie Chung co-star. "Grown Ups" opens in theaters everywhere June 25, 2010. Dugan most recently directed "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" and "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry," and none of those delivered the goods.

Here's the banner poster for 'Grown Ups'

If you paid a visit to your local theater this week, you may have notice this poster banner for Dennis Dugan's upcoming comedy "Grown Ups," which stars Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider.

This one features original kid pictures of the lead actors - a cool promotional tool. It also seems to be the coolest thing about the whole movie, because its first trailer promises nothing but a lame comedy. The film opens June 25, 2010.

Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston in new comedy?

It looks like Adam Sander and Jennifer Aniston may get together on the big screen and do a lot of pretending in Columbia's upcoming comedy "Pretend Wife." Both actors are in talks for the lead roles.

Plot details are kept under wraps, but the title could give you an idea what this romantic comedy will be about. The Hollywood Reporter says Allan Loeb ("21") and Timothy Dowling penned the script.

Sandler's Happy Madison is producing, and Dennis Dugan is in talks to direct the film. He previously helmed "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" and "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry."

Adam Sandler's 'Grown Ups' trailer is totally lame

Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider are starring in Dennis Dugan's new comedy "Grown Ups," and the first trailer for the film sucks big time. And I mean BIG TIME!

The story follows four old friends who haven't seen each other for decades and one day decide to reunite for a Fourth of July weekend. What a bad idea, because we get to watch them catch up and all.

As you can see in the trailer below, this one looks just like yet another ultra-lame slapstick comedy in which some good actors prove they have what it takes to pick a project everyone knows is going to stink.
