JACK & JILL CLEANS UP BIG AT THE RAZZIES


Last month I brought you the nominations for The Razzies, an award show that celebrates the worst movies of the previous year. While I hoped that Twilight would make a clean sweep, the movie that deserved to be panned the most was Jack & Jill, which not only seemed to be loved over at the Kids Choice Awards, cleaned up quite nicely over at the smart people with taste awards (which are voted on by Rotten Tomatoes readers). The Adam Sandler "comedy" won awards for Worst Picture, Actor, Actress, Director, Screenplay, and even the “Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel” award. For those who don't know Jack & Jill is a “remake/rip-off of Ed Wood’s cross-dressing camp classic "Glen or Glenda” and if you're not familiar with Ed Wood, he was labeled one of the worst directors ever (and was played in the Tim Burton Ed Wood film by Johnny Depp back in the day).

It does make me feel slightly better that the cast of Jack and Jill narrowly prevailed over The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1, another movie franchise I can't wait to see get the final stake in the heart. Transformers had it's life spared since they got no Razzies (another franchise in my opinion that needs to die a horrible death - or could use a good snatching away from the Ed Wood of action films Michael Bay).

Anyways, check out the winners - I mean - losers below...
