‘I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry’
Adam Sandler and Kevin James are known for their roles in out-standing comedy movies such as ’Hitch’ and ‘The Waterboy’. So putting them together seems like a perfectly natural funny thing to do. In essence you will be getting double the fun and laughs. At least you would hope so.
Two firefighters, rascally Chuck (Adam Sandler) and single dad Larry (Kevin James), form a phony domestic partnership to preserve Larry’s pension privileges. When the city starts investigating, Chuck and Larry figure out how to work the system while boldly standing up for their newfound brethren, the gay community of New York City. It’s all very predictable and ridiculous, but the lovable characters and funny setups make up for the crudest moments.
Chuck and Larry’s relationship is the essential heart of the movie, and James and Sandler seem to be enjoying every minute of it (well, not every minute). We genuinely like these guys, because they genuinely like each other. And kudos to the always charming Jessica Biel: As the guys’ lawyer and Sandler’s crush, she’s such a good actress, you will actually believe she could be attracted to the Waterboy himself.
Now don’t think that the movie should receive five stars. While the movie is unique and the movie may be a little funny it still lacks a few things. Some of the jokes are ones that have been used over and over again that hearing them in another movie just makes it sound flat. But don’t worry you have the same things that you would have in any movie like this; stereotyping, hot women, and men just being men.
