Half In The Bag - Jack and Jill (Part 1 of 2)

Part 1 of Red Letter Media's extremely perceptive and interesting take on Adam Sandler's recent artistic endeavour.

I guess if I were an artist or a film aficionado, I would highly resent Sandler.

But noone makes people shell out money to see that drek. Maybe Sandler loyalists are paid for Jack and Jill tickets, but actually went to see a different movie?

If it's as cynical as they say I'd imagine many people would feel a bit let down. It's rated at 3.2 out of 10 on imdb so maybe that's something.

Huh. Dunno if I'd even be interested in the film, but these guys are kind of picking low-hanging fruit, all but declaring they hate it before the review even starts, and then base their reactions of the film by how far it deviates from their expectations.

At least Plinkett can put together well-thought out arguments presented with some some semblance of thought toward the media and its history and aesthetics. Boo.

EDIT: okay, I watched the entire thing (because if you're going to criticize something, you should know what you're talking about, right?)

This video seems more like a demo-reel for a couple of guys who wanted to make films for a living but missed the boat. Nearly all their criticism is inapplicable to the general viewer, or even most film critics, as it's so subjective to their own expectations, and devoid of any real critical appraisal.

I'm not even arguing that the film isn't bad. I wouldn't know, as it looked like shit and I never saw it, but this video is an embarrassment for any film critic, let alone these shit, failed, beer-mongering authors. These guys really piss me off, because there is 0% talent here, and 100% "let's leverage the internet popularity for our own gain" (Like: "Pick a shit movie and tell everyone how shit it is! We're genius!")

Fuck these guys.

Overreact much? Me thinks you missed the point. Also, the guy on the left IS Plinkett
