+roggeray Linda: What reason did she give for wanting a divorce? Allan: She wants a laugh; she doesn't laugh enough. Insufficient laughter; that's grounds for divorce. Oh, and skiing! She wants to go skiing. She wants to ski down a mountain laughing like an idiot.
It's nice to listen to this review after having seen Uncut Gems and The Irishman. It lets me know that Adam Sandler and Al Pacino were not irredeemably ruined.
Sandler is still irredeemable. The occasional performance (ie, 2, punch drunk love and Uncut Gems, hardly a record) doesn't redeem his shocking acting career. When Sandler makes films, he makes this. And does it repeatedly. You're a complete fool.
@@TheKamikazenaz LOL NOT even close. Uncut Gems is STILL a fantastic movie and he doesn't do ANYTHING on what say at all about that rubbish speech at all nor is he anywhere near a "pOoR mAN' AL CaPpuCcinO" in the slightest. Grow up and open your eyes, seriously.
@@ThePsycoDolphin NOT even close. Sandler is NOT "iRrEDeEmABlE" in the slightest at all. It's just he does alot of stinkers throughout the years unfortunately but he DOES have alot of talent even with solid movies like Grown Ups. Punch Drunk Love and Uncut Gems are STILL fantastic movies and ARE still a record towards him. The only person that's "a cOmPlETE foOl" is yourself for saying and believing the nonsense you're saying, that's for sure. Just stop hating on Sandler.
Wedding Singer, Happy Gilmore, and Punch Drunk Love are the only good films he's been involved with. Waterboy and Click are ok at best. Everything else he's been involved with though is more or less cinematic diarrhea.
"and at the end, there was an usher, standing there waiting, and i walked out of the cinema on my own, and he looked at me and he went...."alright!"....and i went...alright....and we knew, we both knew what had happened in that cinema...NOTHING..NOTHING HAD HAPPENED AT ALL!!
You might want to check out Reign Over Me, where Sandler plays a severely depressed man who lost his wife and children in the WTC attacks. I haven't seen it myself, but I hear he puts in a very good serious performance there.
kemp10 What I really love about it is that they actually explain how & why exactly the film is so bad, & what it says about Hollywood, & everything they said was not only true in 2011, but even more so now.
his films are cheap to make but this film had a 69 million budget.... he pays himself 2o million fee per movie just for acting.. its his production company. then his mates get millions for cameos, add to that constant product placing means even if the film does not make lots at the box office, they still win.
Reign Over Me is absolutely fantastic. Adam Sandler is brilliant in it and it's a shame he'd rather churn this sort of crap out because he is capable of producing a performance.
I was almost disappointed that That's My Boy didn't break Top 10, so we didn't get a true Kermodian on it. As it is, We Got This Covered have a beautiful rant for that film.
Better labelled a drama than a comedy, good film. Terrible drama because it looks like a comedy, terrible comedy because it's just uncomfortable in its script, terrible script because it doesn't know what it is... But the drama beneath it is straight forward and reaches its natural conclusion with some humorous side-gags.
Did adam Sandler really make Punch Drunk Love though? PT anderson is exceptional, he has coaxed excellent performances from multiple actors who have never came close to that with other directors. Tom Cruise, Marky Mark
Right, I'm no fan of Adam Sandler on any level BUT I must say this. He was fucking excellent in Funny People. I'll also say this, I think its his best on screen performance and as such is far better than Punch Drunk Love..
I tried watching Jack and Jill but only got about 20 minutes into it. It was either a really horrible regular movie or a really, really good tragic parody of Adam Sandler movies. Either way it was excruciating
@@garymitchell5899 It's funny, this comment is 8 years old but I actually did end up getting through Jack and Jill just last month. It's a sincerely bizarre experience, and it's aged in ways both horrendous and hilarious. Perhaps the last truly charismatic Pacino performance, it might have broken him
Martin lawrence, Kevin James, adam saunders and vince Vaughan how do they get away with it? really...only explanation is yanks will laugh at anything. I've laughed at all of them but never with
+Clara Going Bye Bye haha like stand on a rake yeah? that would be pretty funny if not if a fake situation like a Adam film. oh Clara I think we'd get on well
The thinking behind this film must have been "Adam seems to be the same person in all his films, let's show his wonderful character acting skills.." And in that, they made Adam Sandler become... Adam sandler in a fat suit, with a lisp and a wig! I saw a film starring Richard prior when I was 10, called Dynamite chicken.. Up until recently I have described it as the worst film I have ever seen. Jack and Jill felt like my eyes and ears were being raped. Surely Pacino knew this was a Turkey.
Either A. Pal Pacino is terribly stupid - doubtful, or he thought he was in a terrible skit for a very unfunny TV show. B. He was paid a LOT of money. I mean a L O T... like a ship full of money. C. He hates people D. He wanted to make one unequivocally bad film. E. He's done something very bad and was blackmailed to do the film. F. Everyone's entitled to make one take your breath away, totally illogical, insane bad judged decision. - this could be his.
I think he honestly just has bad judgement. He figured it would be 'fun' to do a comedy movie, and has no idea what's going to work or not work. DeNiro has made the same mistake several times.
Jack and Jill is awful but I have to say, the way in which Mark describes he wanted to laugh in this film is quite similar to the way in which I didn't laugh watching The michael cera movie, Youth in revolt. I remember watching it and I didn't laugh once, I wanted to laugh but it wasn't what I wanted it to be. 90 mins of un-funnyness and I sat there at the end wondering why on earth I didn't laugh once. Jack&Jill is crucially worse but Youth in revolt ain't good.
Adam Sandler obviously has quite an amount of absolutely useless movies. But c'mon he totally had several decent movies some of them were genuinely great.
Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Punch Drunk Love, Funny People and Little Nicky...couple of other i can't think of he can act and do silly humour but lately he's is being lazy.
it was so bad but i liked it better than thats my boy....that was the most idiotic and painfully dumb movie i have ever seen, adam sandler desperately needs a comeback
"Insufficient laughter is grounds for divorce!"
I'm using that Mark.
It's from a Woody Allen film.
+roggeray Linda: What reason did she give for wanting a divorce?
Allan: She wants a laugh; she doesn't laugh enough. Insufficient laughter;
that's grounds for divorce. Oh, and skiing! She wants to go skiing. She
wants to ski down a mountain laughing like an idiot.
AND WE KNEW
There's a real note of despair when Mark says "NOTHING, Nothing had happened at ALL". Pure frustration.
It's nice to listen to this review after having seen Uncut Gems and The Irishman. It lets me know that Adam Sandler and Al Pacino were not irredeemably ruined.
It's a film. They're actors. What do you imagine happens when actors make films?
Uncut Gems is Sandler doing "hhehhhhhejjjjj hejhjjjjejjjjhhhjh" like a poor man's Al Cappuccino.
Sandler is still irredeemable. The occasional performance (ie, 2, punch drunk love and Uncut Gems, hardly a record) doesn't redeem his shocking acting career. When Sandler makes films, he makes this. And does it repeatedly. You're a complete fool.

This review is funnier than the movie
Falling to your death is funnier than Adam Sandler films these days.
I can only imagine. I've only enjoyed The Wedding Singer and PDL out of Sandler's films.
Wedding Singer, Happy Gilmore, and Punch Drunk Love are the only good films he's been involved with. Waterboy and Click are ok at best. Everything else he's been involved with though is more or less cinematic diarrhea.
ST VINCENT
Gungut cems too.
"and at the end, there was an usher, standing there waiting, and i walked out of the cinema on my own, and he looked at me and he went...."alright!"....and i went...alright....and we knew, we both knew what had happened in that cinema...NOTHING..NOTHING HAD HAPPENED AT ALL!!
"We both knew what had happened in that cinema" - haha
:)
thumbs up for kermode - usher story : D
"...And we *knew."
"Just look at the light"
"...WHAT?"
My favourite Kermode rant I have discovered thus far - and so, so true!
Who else looks at the sun to sneeze? *hands up*
“At some point Adam Sandler will do something good again.”
He was right! Uncut Gems is fantastic
"We both knew what had happened in that cinema..."!
"we both knew what had happened"
"nothing"
Isn't Punch-Drunk Love more a Paul Thomas Anderson movie than an Adam Sandler movie?
Much, much more.
heldinahtmlhell Sandler's performance was still very good though.
Perhaps. But as every single other Sandler performance I've had to endure has been very much not; I'd have to credit that fact mostly to PT Anderson.
You might want to check out Reign Over Me, where Sandler plays a severely depressed man who lost his wife and children in the WTC attacks. I haven't seen it myself, but I hear he puts in a very good serious performance there.
heldinahtmlhell good point.
In short, Mark got blue balled by Adam Sandler
"Waiting to sneeze" good title
Watch the Red Letter Media review. They obliterate this movie.
kemp10 What I really love about it is that they actually explain how & why exactly the film is so bad, & what it says about Hollywood, & everything they said was not only true in 2011, but even more so now.
I'd like to see what Mark Kermode thinks of the Red Letter Media review of Adam Sandler as a con artist, not a film maker.
Everyone: Sandler
Mark: Sahdlah
THIS is the ONLY movie I have EVER walked out of before the hour mark
I see Marks on the fence.
He's right about Adam Sandler. Punch Drunk Love is brilliant. Loved Sandler in The Wedding Singer too. But what is he thinking lately??
6:20, don't worry Simon, I know what you mean.
2nding Simon's thing about the light and sneezing.
Has anyone seen South Park's Rob Schneider skit? It has this decal matter of a film down to a tee
THIS SUMMER, ROB SCHNEIDER IS A CARROT.
Brilliant.
Rub Schneider ees, A SHTAPLEUR!
Rob Schneider derp di derp, a derpy derpity derpy derp. Until one day...
rated ARG for pirates, fuck you
I cant believe the guy who made Magnolia and There Will Be Blood is an Adam Sandler fan.
I sat through the entire hell of Knocked Up never laughing
Mark sounds like he's about to cry by the end of this
90 minutes of waiting to sneeze 😂
Michael Corleone would be disappointed in al here
He might even have killed him for this
I love how kermode jack and jill was a popular search on youtube months before he even reviewed it!
I love this guy
his films are cheap to make but this film had a 69 million budget.... he pays himself 2o million fee per movie just for acting.. its his production company. then his mates get millions for cameos, add to that constant product placing means even if the film does not make lots at the box office, they still win.
Reign Over Me is absolutely fantastic. Adam Sandler is brilliant in it and it's a shame he'd rather churn this sort of crap out because he is capable of producing a performance.
kermode's rants are so entertaining
I was almost disappointed that That's My Boy didn't break Top 10, so we didn't get a true Kermodian on it. As it is, We Got This Covered have a beautiful rant for that film.
Mayo is a bag that Kermode is carrying.
Jake?
If we want see Adam Sandler be good in a film again is only when he's not trying to be funny in it. Punch, Drunk Love is a perfect example.
+Onmysheet It's only when he's in someone ELSE'S movie. He's pretty good in "Spanglish."
2020 and Uncut Gems
Better labelled a drama than a comedy, good film. Terrible drama because it looks like a comedy, terrible comedy because it's just uncomfortable in its script, terrible script because it doesn't know what it is... But the drama beneath it is straight forward and reaches its natural conclusion with some humorous side-gags.
It's obviously not a drama. Watch the film.
Did adam Sandler really make Punch Drunk Love though? PT anderson is exceptional, he has coaxed excellent performances from multiple actors who have never came close to that with other directors. Tom Cruise, Marky Mark
suppose people saw it coming hahaha it´s like if Roy Schneider makes a new movie :) or next week with the re-release of Star Wars 3d
Right, I'm no fan of Adam Sandler on any level BUT I must say this. He was fucking excellent in Funny People. I'll also say this, I think its his best on screen performance and as such is far better than Punch Drunk Love..
Thought the other 3 quid was for to see Adam Sandler… IN 3D! Contemplate that.
Whatever happened to Adam Sandler? He made the wedding singer! Why is he ruining his career?
@DanzNewzMachinima :)
Product Placement: The Movie
$80 million ‘production’ costs... +$79 million in Adam Sandlers bank account
I tried watching Jack and Jill but only got about 20 minutes into it. It was either a really horrible regular movie or a really, really good tragic parody of Adam Sandler movies. Either way it was excruciating
You know that isn't true. Why are you trying to impress us??
@@garymitchell5899 It's funny, this comment is 8 years old but I actually did end up getting through Jack and Jill just last month.

claustrophobic. claauuustraphobic.
I can't believe someone has different taste to me
Why do they play clips on the radio?
So people can hear them?
damn
Ben Stiller took De Niro, and now Adam Sandler took Pacino.
6:11
4:57
Erm...did you mean Rob Schneider? Or Roy Scheider?
Rob
rob not jaws
Im with kermode on that one...definate physical sense of revoltuion at waiting too long for a laugh.
Staring at the sun does make you sneeze tho XD
Martin lawrence, Kevin James, adam saunders and vince Vaughan how do they get away with it? really...only explanation is yanks will laugh at anything. I've laughed at all of them but never with
+Clara Going Bye Bye yeah smug men! I just don't understand how they make these films?! there so crap haha
+Clara Going Bye Bye haha like stand on a rake yeah? that would be pretty funny if not if a fake situation like a Adam film. oh Clara I think we'd get on well
+Liverbird Owen Wilson is a legend
Tyler Perry should be on that of names list too.
Will Ferrell
Just because he wasn't terrible in Punch Drunk Love doesn't mean he was 'brilliant' in it. He was passable. That's all.
At least the usher was sure Mark wasn't going to be videoing the film, it was so bad not to be worth videoing.
"Adam Sandler"!!!
Ben Stiller played Adam Sandler very well in Tropic Thunder. You might say he went full r~tard.
Pacino's role is obviously a parody. Do you seriously think he would put that much clown make-up on??
It's. A. Parody. He. Knows. What. He's. Doing.
The thinking behind this film must have been "Adam seems to be the same person in all his films, let's show his wonderful character acting skills.." And in that, they made Adam Sandler become... Adam sandler in a fat suit, with a lisp and a wig!
I saw a film starring Richard prior when I was 10, called Dynamite chicken.. Up until recently I have described it as the worst film I have ever seen. Jack and Jill felt like my eyes and ears were being raped. Surely Pacino knew this was a Turkey.
Either A. Pal Pacino is terribly stupid - doubtful, or he thought he was in a terrible skit for a very unfunny TV show.
B. He was paid a LOT of money. I mean a L O T... like a ship full of money.
C. He hates people
D. He wanted to make one unequivocally bad film.
E. He's done something very bad and was blackmailed to do the film.
F. Everyone's entitled to make one take your breath away, totally illogical, insane bad judged decision. - this could be his.
B. Definitely B
I think he honestly just has bad judgement. He figured it would be 'fun' to do a comedy movie, and has no idea what's going to work or not work. DeNiro has made the same mistake several times.
It's obviously a parody cameo. Do you think Pacino really has a thing about donuts?? Watch the movie.
Jack and Jill is awful but I have to say, the way in which Mark describes he wanted to laugh in this film is quite similar to the way in which I didn't laugh watching The michael cera movie, Youth in revolt.

this film is pacino's worst career move since revolution in the 80s now that was a bad movie!

Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Punch Drunk Love, Funny People and Little Nicky...couple of other i can't think of he can act and do silly humour but lately he's is being lazy.
it was so bad but i liked it better than thats my boy....that was the most idiotic and painfully dumb movie i have ever seen, adam sandler desperately needs a comeback
If I could just direct people to this: /watch?v=Z22fSyedgoE ......youre welcome
Adam Sandler is the least funny person in human history. And prehistory.
@EpifanesEuergetes no, there's Rob Schneider
Funny People is the most boring film i've seen.
None of that was funny.
Troll harder.
Kermode is annoying in this review. He's guilty of exactly the thing he's criticising the film for: trying to be funny but failing.
kills a million reviewers
