Natalie S This movie is honestly hilarious and if you think otherwise you have no taste in comedy Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review david I’d rather see a dental hygiene film than this movie Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review New Spice over Old Spice The character development is so atrociously satire that it makes you forget you're watching a wholesome family movie that utilizes bonding with some acceptable comedy. Unfortunately, it doesn't check the latter boxes and it just turns into an Adam Sandler geek show with an Al Pacino performance that goes to waste. At least it's presentable because of Happy Madison, but not recommended.1.4 / 4.0 | 34% Positive Score Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Michael B I know I know, I'm a sucker for so-bad-it's-good type stuff. I can't remember the last time I've laugher out loud this much in a movie! (It could be that my wife watching me laugh so much while seeing her WTF face through the goofy jokes, could have contributed Lol) Obviously shut off your brain and enjoy the dumass humor haha Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review Sam Jack y Jill es una excelente comedia para ver en familia, tal vez el humor este desactualizado pero también hay que tener en cuenta que este ha evolucionado y tal vez se sienta anticuado. Pero vale la pena verla Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Mackenzie K I watch this movie to fall asleep to. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
