Jack and Jill is a 2011 comedy film starring Adam Sandler. The film tells the story of Jack Sadelstein (Sandler), a successful advertising executive enjoying life with his career and family including his wife Erin (Katie Holmes). But when he learns that his annoying twin sister, Jill (also Sandler), is coming over for the Thanksgiving holidays, and when she decides to stay in town a bit longer, this results in getting Jack to get Al Pacino to date her so he can get Jill out of town, to less than satisfying results. | |

Half-Identical Twins | |
| Jack and Jill / int_116a648e | comment |
Half-Identical Twins: Well, that's what happened when the same actor plays both opposite-gendered twins. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Jack and Jill / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: The film claims that Jack and Jill are "identical" twin siblings, for the sake of having Adam Sandler's face on both a man and a woman. Identical twins are made from a single fertilized egg cell, which results in single-gender offspring. Fraternal twins are from separately fertilized egg cells and almost always subvert Strong Family Resemblance as a result, counting as twins because they were born at roughly the same time. | |

Actor Allusion | |

Actor Allusion: In the Dunkaccino ad, Al Pacino, playing as himself, alludes to lines from his starring roles as Tony Montana in Scarface (1983), Sonny Wortzik in Dog Day Afternoon, Frank Slade in Scent of a Woman, Arthur Kirkland in ...And Justice for All, and Michael Corleone in The Godfather Part III. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| Jack and Jill / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Debatable, but at the end of the film we see Al Pacino act in the new Dunkin' Donuts commercial; after seeing his spot, he orders the footage be destroyed and that no one ever sees it again. He might not have just been talking about the commercial... | |

Screw the Money, I Have Rules! | |
| Jack and Jill / int_4e52a624 | comment |
Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: Jack disguises himself as Jill so Al Pacino can spend time with "her" and agree to appear in the commercial. Eventually, Jack realizes he's gone too far and runs off, to which Al asks if she'll come back if he agrees to do the commercial, to which Jack replies "Forget the commercial!" Of course, Al Pacino does end up doing the commercial after all... and then wants all copies destroyed. | |

Twin Telepathy | |
| Jack and Jill / int_5c059fbd | comment |
Twin Telepathy: Averted, though it is discussed. Jack makes it clear that he and Jill don't have that whole twin telepathic communication. It doesn't stop Jill from trying to attempt it, though. | |

Fictional Counterpart | |
| Jack and Jill / int_61066d95 | comment |
Fictional Counterpart: The "My Tiny Me" line of 18-inch dolls Sofia and Jill often play with is a thinly-veiled send-up of the American Girl doll line, which was starting to gain mainstream popularity in the 2010s. | |

| Jack and Jill / int_97514bef | comment |
Bafflingly, a large chunk of the movie revolves around trying to recruit Al Pacino for a Dunkin' Donuts commercial, and the whole thing appears to be a parody of Product Placement (it even ends with Al Pacino demanding that Jack destroy the commercial footage after he sees it), but it still results in a complete, 50-second Dunkin' Donuts commercial for a drink that could actually be bought in real life. | |

Informed Attribute: The Jill we're told about is a sweet, bighearted woman who loves seeing her brother succeed. The Jill we're shown is mean, manipulative, loud-mouthed, and obnoxious. Perhaps intentional to show just good she is at manipulating people that she can delude them into thinking she has merits that aren't actually there. | |

Twin Banter | |

Twin Banter: Jill insists that she and Jack have a secretive gibberish vocabulary that only they understand. It seems that it's yet another of Jill's eccentricities as Jack doesn't understand it, until the climax, where it is revealed that it does exist; Jack just forgot about it. | |

Ceiling Cling | |
| Jack and Jill / int_f4a5b281 | comment |
Ceiling Cling: There's a scene where Norm Macdonald's character known as "Funbucket" goes on a date with Jill. Because he finds Jill repulsive, he decides to hide in the bathroom. When Jill comes looking for him, she opens the stall door to find it empty and leaves... only for the camera to pan up and show Funbucket hanging from the overhead light (apparently, Jill has tunnel vision since she would've easily seen him there while entering the bathroom). | |
