Did you see Jack and Jill? Trick question! Because if you actually did see that gigantic pile of crap, you probably committed suicide. But worry not! Those who have seen the steaming pile that Adam Sandler shat into the theaters did not die in vain, because Sandler and his suck ass movies set the record for most Razzie nominations for just how awful him and his “movies” are. Via Access Hollywood:
Sandler received a record 11 nominations Saturday for the Razzies as star, producer or writer on three 2011 movies – Jack and Jill, Just Go with It and Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star. That more than doubled the previous record of five Razzie nominations held by Eddie Murphy for 2007’s Norbit.
Sandler’s nominations include worst actor for both Jack and Jill and Just Go with It – and worst actress for Jack and Jill, in which he plays a family man and his own twin sister. Sandler also had two nominations as worst screen couple opposite Jennifer Aniston or Brooklyn Decker in Just Go with It and opposite Katie Holmes, Al Pacino or himself in Jack and Jill.
As a producer, Sandler was credited with worst-picture and worst prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel nominations for both Bucky Larson and Jack and Jill. He also shared in worst-screenplay nominations as a writer on both movies, and a worst-ensemble nomination for Jack and Jill.
“It’s almost karmic for someone to have made that much razz-able stuff in one year,” said Razzies founder John Wilson. “He has angered someone really powerful, I would say.” Along with Bucky Larson and Jack and Jill, worst-picture contenders are New Year’s Eve, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.
I don’t really have anything else to add to this suckfest, other than to point all of you towards this review of Jack and Jill from Red Letter Media (the guys behind the Star Wars reviews), which is not only way more entertaining than the actual movie, but also makes tons of salient points about how Adam creates his movies. In that he doesn’t so much make movies, so much as he goes on vacations with his buddies while hauling along a couple cameras with him.
