Totally mediocre...

Matt Singer, Time Out
Rotten

What makes Jack And Jill worse than the average Sandler vehicle is Jill, who's been conceived as little more than a dude in drag, hold the jokes.

Scott Tobias, AV Club
Rotten

Sandler has become a good actor of late, but here he gives over most of his talents to Jill, who is so screechy, needy, and lovelorn that you can hardly blame Jack for wanting to fade into the background.

Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
Rotten

The apocalypse starts here.

Tom Long, Detroit News

It's all pretty unfunny, and leaves you too much time to wonder about other things. Like, how did this sludge ever get a PG rating?

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
