The constant presence of Al Pacino or the surprising appearances of Johnny Depp, Shaq or John McEnroe are not sufficient to save Happy Madison’s last production from being a complete disaster. The fans may not like the idea, but this is a honest “Jack and Jill” review. The reality is harsh. It is hard to understand what motivates actors to accept transvestite roles. Decades ago, these things were normal, since women were not allowed on the stage. However, the cinema history is just as rich, whether you consider Eddie Murphy in “Norbit” or Martin Lawrence in the “Big Momma” series. With all these, things have never looked more insulting than in Adam Sandler’s recent work “Jack and Jill”. Looking after a positive “Jack and Jill” review? This is not the place.
First of all, Adam Sandler is far from his known experiences. He doesn’t make a single effort to give Jill a decent presence. The outfit, the walk and the hysterical voice are simply embarrassing. Everything looks like a repetition when the actors first see the script. Jill is far from being a regular character. Instead, she looks like an annoying caricature with a very bothering appearance. At the same time, Jack is so simple that you can actually read him like a common radiography of impulse.
Generally, the story of two adult twins who cannot stand each other, but get to visit during the holidays, could easily bring in a few funny moment. But not in this case. As a honest “Jack and Jill” review, the writers were in a completely different world. The director – Dennis Duncan – has no fineness, while all the surprising apparitions and the forced ending come to accentuate the flat character of this movie.
Overall, Al Pacino looks like trying to provide a message to the academy members – something about how he only got one Oscar in his entire career. He doesn’t seem to care too much. Pacino playing himself is an eccentric individual who is in love with Jill for a stupid reason – they were both born in Bronx. He misses his home so much that he chooses to like this girl, rather than taking a plane. Even if Al Pacino’s past performances were not that high, this one is truly embarrassing. After a rap moment, the actor draws the conclusion himself – this must never be seen. By anyone. With all these, the movie rolls on in cinemas all over the world. This “Jack and Jill” review should help you decide what movie to watch next time.

The “Millennium” trilogy released by Stieg Larsson has become one of the most popular series of books that fascinated a whole planet. With a glacial tone, a sinister atmosphere and strange characters, the Swedish author’s books have become so popular that 5 years later, the Swedish cinema world has launched the first movie. It was the starting point for Noomi Rapace.
In 2001, David Fincher has released his own version – “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”, with Rooney Mara playing Lisbeth. The play and the total transformation have convinced the critics, who claim the actress deserves at least one Oscar nominee. The movie is just like expected – full of mystery, with interesting, yet bizarre characters. It will seriously aim for one of the best movies of 2011.
The movie presents Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig), a journalist with a bad name who is contacted by a noble old man from the Vanger clan – Henrik (Christopher Plummer) to solve a case. Mikael must find out what happened with the old man’s niece – Harieta, who disappeared 40 years ago. The journalist is helped by Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara), a young hacker full of tattoos who hides a drama. Together, the two investigators find out that Harieta’s disappearance is connected with a series of horrible crimes that took place 40 years ago. This is when the actual adventure begins.
For those who read the books and saw the original movie, Fincher’s version is a real challenge. It has common elements with the Swedish movie, but in the end, you realize you have just seen a completely different movie. Even if you are a real fan of the original version, you will still appreciate this American version. If the American remakes are usually not worth wasting a few hours of your life, in this case, things are a little different.
From a shy and calm girl, Rooney Mara has been through the transformation of her life with this role. She is tough, unpredictable, suspicious and innocent. She is a hypnotizing rebel you would like to get to know more since the moment you first see her.
Daniel Craig makes a good role too and convinces the audience that he can play someone else than 007 too. Although it takes a while until the two characters meet in the same room, the dynamics when they do it is incredible. Craig and Mara make a powerful, courageous and funny team. For a few moments, you might be lost and have no clue what is going on. However, no matter how picky you are, you will definitely enjoy “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”.
