Watch: Adam Sandler pulls double duty in new 'Jack and Jill' trailer
Al Pacino, Katie Holmes co-star in comedy about twins
Adam Sandler's back in "Jack and Jill," and he's finally found a co-star who can keep up with his manic energy: Himself. The just-released trailer offers a double-dose of the comedy superstar's shenanigans.
Yes, Sandler is playing twins -- one a boy, and one a girl (Sandler in bad drag, natch). But there is some promise to this one, as well -- Al Pacino plays himself and is in love with Jill (the female Sandler).
Among the rest of the cast, Sandler pals Nick Swardson, Tim Meadows and Allen Covert look like they're still having fun, but Katie Holmes looks like she doesn't have much to do as Jack's wife. The film also promises the typical Sandler-style parade of cameos.
Regular Sandler collaborator Dennis Dugan ("Happy Gilmore," "Just Go With It") directed, so at least you'll know pretty much what you're gonna get..
And a quick question for all the lazy music supervisors out there: Why is E.L.O.'s "Don't Bring Me Down" suddenly in every movie and trailer in theaters? Besides this, it's recently been featured in -- no kidding -- "Paul," "Super 8" and the trailer for "Our Idiot Brother."

July 8, 2011 at 7:34PM EST Reply to CommentI think this will be the first Sandler film since Little Nicky to fail to reach 100M, which excludes films like Funny People, Punch Drunk Love, et al.
As far as actual costars go, I felt like Jennifer Aniston kept up with him the best, even if that film didn't reach the potential of that pairing.

July 9, 2011 at 11:59AM EST Reply to CommentThis looks promising?! To who?! This looks like a sure sign of the apocalypse, if anything. Sandler is an abysmal pit from which no comedy shall escape. He's a black hole of mirthlessness. I would rather have my eyes chewed out by crows than watch another Sandler movie where he's a shlub with a hottie and there's a lot of inane screaming and farting. I feel like Mugato when I see trailers like this. Is everyone taking crazy pills?! It's the same look!!
