Talk of Adam Sandler’s descent into mediocrity is now fact. Well, maybe not fact, but at least agreed upon by a large voting committee and that’s good enough for us.
Last night, Adam Sandler and his 2011 shitstorm Jack And Jill made history by becoming the first person/feature to win every award given out by The Razzies, an annual Oscars spoof honoring the movie industry’s least laudable work. That’s right, 11 nominations and 11 well-deserved victories.
Among the “wins” for Sandler: Worst Picture, Worst Actor (for Sandler’s work in “Jack & Jill” and “Just Go With It”), Worst Actress (as “Jill”), Worst Supporting Actor (for Al Pacino’s cameo as himself), Worst Supporting Actress (for pal David Spade as “Monica”), Worst Screen Ensemble (for the entire cast), Worst Director (Dennis Dugan for “Jack and Jill” and “Just Go With It”), Worst Remake, Rip-off or Sequel (“Jack and Jill” for ripping off Ed Woods’ camp classic “Glen or Glenda”), Worst Screen Couple (Sandler and Katie Holmes, Sandler and Al Pacino or Sandler with himself) and Worst Screenplay.
Sandler will next appear in That’s My Boy, then again later in the year as a voice in Hotel Transylvania. While both those look good, I would like to place a bet on 2013’s Grown Ups 2 being his next “hit” with Razzies voters. Stay tuned!

That’s actually 10, not 11.
