Week 10 Assignment

On the topic of transvestite films, I saw a trailer for a movie called "Jack and Jill". While the character played by Adam Sandler does not cross-dress in the movie, he plays both Jack and Jack's twin sister, Jill. This is a recurring event in many comical films. What effect does seeing Adam Sandler dressed as a woman have on our response to the movie and Jill's character? What does this say about the way we categorize gender?
