Movie Haiku:Taking on the roles of both "Jack Sadelstein" and his fraternal twin "Jill," Sandler sets up an extremely sensitive subject: media images of Jewish women. Alas, once he creates Jill, he doesn''t quite know what to do with her, so too much of the film is barely watchable. Nevertheless, Jan admires his chutzpah & Pacino''s cameos are a hoot. Not yet seen by Rich.
