But its just kind of a conglomerate of a lot of Sandlers, you know, put into one, joked Sandler.Actress Katie Holmes, who plays the role of Jacks wife, believes the film is something a lot families can relate to.Jill, shes the extreme version of a guest that wont leave, laughed Holmes.Its funny, because its a unique relationship that the twins have with each other, and from my character, shes just kinda caught in the middle and is just trying to keep the peace.

Its light and fun and makes you feel really good, she said.Legendary actor, Al Pacino, who plays himself in the film, said that he was glad to get the chance to work with Sandler.Hes a great guy, you hear a lot about him, you hear how great he is, said Pacino.
