It happens all the time. It's the same at every family gathering. There's always that one distant uncle or aunt you're not thrilled about seeing. Even though they are well intentioned, there's something about them that just drives you insane.
For funny man Adam Sandler's Jack, in the Dennis Dugan-directed comedy Jack and Jill, that annoying person comes in the form of his sister - a twin no less - Jill.
Jack is a successful advertising executive, who lives an idyllic life in Los Angeles with his wife, Erin (Katie Holmes), and two children.
However, his life is about to make a turn for the worst: his sister Jill (Sandler dressed in a wig and gown) is coming to town for Thanksgiving holiday... and she may extend her stay until the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. Either way, Jack feels she is overstaying her welcome, and tries desperately to get her to go home to New York.
To complicate matters, Jack's company is in jeopardy of losing a major client. He hopes to solve the problem by getting the backing of a big-name star and convince actor Al Pacino (inset, playing himself) to be the next spokesman for the American doughnut and coffee retailer, Dunkin' Donuts.
To achieve this task, Jack may need to unleash his secret weapon.
