Editorial Review:

Description:
Adam Sandler and Kevin James star as best friends and fellow firefighters Chuck and Larry, the pride of their Brooklyn fire station. Chuck owes Larry for saving his life. Larry calls in that favor big-time by asking Chuck to pose as his "domestic partner" so his kids will get his pension. But when a fact-checking bureaucrat becomes suspicious, the two straight guys are forced to improvise as love-struck newlyweds. Jessica Biel, Ving Rhames and Dan Aykroyd co-star in this hilarious comedy.

Amazon.com:
It's crude and sometimes awkward, but there's a gleefully subversive movie lurking inside I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. By virtue of a tooth-grinding contrivance, two manly Manhattan firefighters, Adam Sandler and Kevin James, must move in together and pretend to be gay; after seeing life from the other side, they learn something about tolerance. Sandler is the obnoxious, aggressively offensive womanizer, while James plays a widowed dad worried about his effeminate son. Nothing is too surprising about the way this works out, except for the film's unabashedly gay-rights fervor. It's one thing for a sensitive art-house movie to preach to the choir, and quite another for Sandler to speak to his multiplex audience on how uncool it is to use a homophobic slur. Ham-handedly directed and almost proudly sloppy, Chuck & Larry wins points for remaining defiantly rude; a nicer movie wouldn't have been as effective. There's a hilarious supporting performance by Ving Rhames, and Jessica Biel brings her Kim Novak-style glamour to a truly unbelievable character. Rob Schneider and Richard Chamberlain (two names not generally brought together) are amusing in small roles. --Robert Horton

- It is not hilarious.
I've always laughed watching Adam Sandler's movies, specially "The Wedding Singer" which I regularly see again and again. In this new movie, (I watched it on cable, so it's new for me) Larry (Kevin James) is his firefighter friend who happen to save Chuck (Sandler) during a fire mission. In return, Larry asks his friend a difficult favour (according to Chuck's point of view as he is a womanizer). He has to pretend to be his friend's gay partner. They have to prove for a Government agent they are happily married, so Larry's children continue with him and receiving domestic benefits. By the way, Larry has been a widower for three years.

The two actors try to make this situation funny but I found it to be dull and offensive. I'm straight, however I don't like to see anyone to be rididularized, ... Read More

- Good Cast
I love this movie. I went to see it in theaters and it's just non stop laughter. I had to go buy it on DVD. You will find the usual people that work with Adam Sandler, and Kevin James is alot funnier that I originally thought. They make a good pair for the movie.

- Just the usual Adam Sandler comedy
Chuck and Larry isn't as bad as critics called it but it's still not great. Kevin James didn't make a wise decision choosing to make an Adam Sandler movie as his first movie since the King of Queens series finale. I mean when did the Happy Madison company ever make anyone a star ? Plus King of Queens was way funnier than this movie. He basically just ended the show to just play...Doug Heffernan making believe he's gay. If he made believe he was gay in the show though, it would have actually been funny since the show had better writing.

We don't get much new from Sandler either. He once again just plays a jerk that everyone likes for no good reason. I mean we're supposed to believe that Jame's character would want him to be the caregiver of his kids if something happened him. While he's ... Read More

- ridiculing the intolerant
Firefighters Chuck (Adam Sandler) and Larry (Kevin James) are best friends. Chuck is a very single womanizer; Larry is a widower with two kids who never dates. When Larry finds out that since he didn't update his paperwork soon enough after his wife's death, his kids won't be able to get his pension if something happens to him (yeah, I found that a little hard to swallow, too, but what the heck--the reason isn't the point), he comes up with the idea of posing as a gay couple--the new relationship would give him a bureaucratically-approved reason to change his paperwork.

The city official in charge of such things is suspicious, and investigates them, and they hire a lawyer (Jessica Biel) to help them out.

In the meantime, they have to deal with Chuck's withdrawal from his addiction to ... Read More

- So bad you have to see it to believe it.
The gay stuff is predictable and mostly tired, but the hefty side platter of sexism and racism will leave your jaw on the floor. Who ARE the people that make these things and WHAT were they thinking??? It's so poorly crafted, it's kind of enjoyable as a bad film. On the Showgirls 1 to 10 scale, (1 being Hush, 10 being Showgirls) I'd give it a healthy 7 for enjoyable badness.

The cast looks miserable and embarrassed and the dark circles under their eyes seem to indicate they know they are working on damaged goods. Steve Buscemi is actually kind of OK and is able to make something of the stupid, stupid, stupid script, that had to have been written by a 7th grade junior high class from 1986. Dan Aykroyd speaks and moves quickly through his scenes, surely hoping that if his part is brief, no one will ... Read More
