Plot Summary: Adam Sandler ("Click") and
Kevin James ("Hitch") team as two straight guys who stumble down the aisle with
the best of intentions in "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry." Chuck Ford (Sandler)
and Larry Allensworth (James) are the pride of their fire station: two guy's
guys always side-by-side and willing to do anything for each other.
Salt-of-the-earth widower Larry wants just one thing: to protect his family. His
buddy Chuck also wants one thing: to enjoy the single life.
Grateful Chuck owes Larry for saving his life in a fire, and Larry calls in that
favor big time when civic red tape prevents him from naming his own two kids as
his life insurance beneficiaries. All that Chuck has to do is claim to be
Larry's domestic partner on some city forms. Easy. Nobody will ever know.
But when an overzealous, spot-checking bureaucrat becomes suspicious, the new
couple's arrangement becomes a citywide issue and goes from confidential to
front-page news. Forced to improvise as love-struck newlyweds, Chuck and Larry
must now fumble through a hilarious charade of domestic bliss under one roof.
After surviving their mandatory honeymoon and dodging the threat of exposure,
the well-intentioned con men discover that sticking together in your time of
need is what truly makes a family
EN 5 Second Review:
Funny, a cool message, but also somewhat uncomfortable.
Tremendously
savvy in its stupid way, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is
as eloquent as Brokeback Mountain, and even more radical Nathan Lee: Village Voice
There are faggot jokes and flaming galore in Chuck and
Larry, a movie that exploits gay stereotypes even as it mounts (from
behind) an ingenious dismantling of homophobia...more
I
now pronounce you terminally confused Colin Covert: Minneapolis
Star-Tribune
This deluded message comedy, the story of two hetero
Brooklyn firefighters who enter into a sham domestic
partnership, could be a grossly insensitive movie or one
that takes insensitivity as its theme, and Adam Sandler
won't stop smirking long enough to clue us in...more
If
there's a saving grace, and there is, it's that the movie
strives, in its often-awkward way, for acceptance. And
how bad can that be? Bill Goodykoontz: Arizona Republic I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry isn't all that
good, exactly. But it's not all bad, either - certainly not
as bad, nor nearly as offensive, as you'd guess. It aims, in
fact, to preach about tolerance, acceptance and whatnot, yet
in the end lacks the courage of its oddly presented
convictions....more
