This made Jack go a little crazy because she breaks everything and he thinks she’s never going to leave. Everyday of Hanukkah they do different things like go horseback riding, go to the movies and go shopping.

Review
Jack & Jill is a great family movie for the holidays. This movie really makes you appreciate your siblings and lets you see past all the arguments growing up. This movie makes you realize that family is way more important than money. As much as you may not get along with your siblings, deep down you still love them and know that you couldn’t live without them. There are lots of celebrities in this movie that you honestly wouldn’t expect. Like Johnny Depp, Al Pacino and Kobe Bryant. It’s cool that they had the famous actors play themselves in the movie.
The Thanksgiving scene really does add a nice touch. It brings up the fact that family functions can be a little crazy, but you still love them. They even show the traditional things on a Thanksgiving table like turkey, name tags so everyone knows where they’re sitting, bread, corn, gravy, and mashed potatoes.
