I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007)
Director: Dennis Dugan
Cast: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Jessica Biel, Dan Akyroyd, Ving Rhames, Steve Buscemi
When firefighter Larry (James) begins to worry about receiving his pension, he calls on a favor from his friend, fellow firefighter Chuck (Sandler). Together, they plan a domestic partnership in order to ensure that Larry's kids will be taken care of if something happened to him. This lends itself, obviously, to very awkward situations as they must prove themselves to be a loving gay couple. The film has movie has genuinely funny moments (especially any scene with Steve Buscemi in it) however nothing on par with what we have come to expect from someone as funny as Adam Sandler. The end of the movie begins to drag as they have exhausted every gay joke and stereotype that there really is nothing propelling the rest of the film's comic effect. The audience may get a few chuckles from the movie but remembering the jokes after viewing may prove to be more difficult.
