Jack and Jill
by T Akery November 23rd, 2011 | Comedy, Movie Reviews
Jack and Jill is about a successful business owner who has his life in order. That is, until the traditional time for family rolls around and his twin sister arrives. Jack doesn't really know what he has until his eyes are opened by none other than Al Pacino.

As a result, he travels to Spain to met up with his brother and father. His trip seems to trigger a series of supernatural events. These events bring up the question of his faith and whether or not he should believe. After which it degrades into a faith-questioning film
