Adam Sandler in ‘Jack and Jill’ and More 2011 Worst Movie Performances

There have been many brilliant movie performances recognized thus far this awards season. Jean Dujardin lit up the black-and-white screen as a vivacious silent film star in The Artist. Rooney Mara completely transformed herself into sinewy hacker Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Christopher Plummer touched audiences with his poignant portrayal of a gay, dying father in Beginners. But for every award-worthy turn this year there are at least five awful ones. From Adam Sandler doing double duty as a brother and sister in the atrocious Jack and Jill to January Jones’s metallic villain in X-Men: First Class, see our picks for the worst movie performances of the year.
