If you're not a Sandler fan, then really, stop reading right now and just walk away, because if you're not a Sandler fan, you will never watch this movie no matter what I say.
Ok, now that we have those of you who will watch Sandler movies, let's continue.
For a Sandler film, this is pretty PG. Very little swearing and just lots and lots of toilet jokes. Basically when Adam Sandler's production company, Happy Madison, sets out to make a movie, it's an excuse for Sandler to get his mates together and just have fun.
Jack Sadelstein (Adam Sandler), is a successful advertising man with a gorgeous wife (Katie Holmes), two cute kids, one of them an adopted indian boy with a tape fetish, a Mexican gardener and a house to die for. This guy is living the dream, well, until his twin sister Jill (Adam Sandler in drag) arrives to stay for the holidays.
Jill has been incredibly lonely since their mother died, living with her cockatoo Poopsie in the Bronx. But when she comes to visit her brother Jack, all hell breaks lose.
I was a little bit worried about just how convincing Sandler was as an annoying middle aged woman living on her own, it was quite frightening, but incredibly funny. This is NOT a movie you should have your brain switched on for, so yes, go ahead, unzip your skull and remove your brain for an hour and a half and just relax and have a laugh.
Some great cameo's, especially from Johnny Depp wearing a Justin Bieber t-shirt and Al Pacino as himself.
Great fun, nothing more.
