Mr Black I bought this movie solely because of Adam Sandler. I like his movies about half the time, but WOW what were they thinking here? This movie should have been called the stereotype movie about stereotypes, or something similar. It's sort of the like the "Not there's anything wrong with it" episode of Seinfeld, but on steroids. The worst part, is for 50 years, people have bashed Mickey Rooney for playing the Japanese guy in Breakfast at Tiffany's, and saying how awful it was for a white guy to do that and stereotype a Japanese. EVeryone hates it. And yet in this movie they do the exact same thing dressing up Rob Schneider in thick glasses, a bowl cut, and fake teeth with fake accent and for some reason it's supposed to be funny? Couldn't believe they actually did that. Why not do a black face scene as well just for good measure. In the end, I watched it and won't bring it out to watch again. Just misses the mark for me.

Python Hyena I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007): Dir: Dennis Dugan / Cast: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Jessica Biel, Steve Buscemi, Ving Rhames: Strong argument of individuality, friendship and the acceptance of self. When Larry saves Chuck's life he says he will do anything for him. Larry is widowed and learns that if he dies while firefighting his two children won't be covered so he talks Chuck into marrying him. Funny concept directed by Dennis Dugan whose films haven't exactly been inspiring. To his credit are such downers as The Benchwarmers, Saving Silverman and National Security. Adam Sandler and Kevin James have great comic chemistry that actually pays off here. Sandler reluctantly goes along with this scheme, while James tries to promote the whole idea. A lawyer played by Jessica Biel is basically there to have her breasts felt. She is an erotic tease whose prime function is to encourage masturbation from viewers. Steve Buscemi is wasted as an insurance guy who is to show up at inconvenient times, and be a complete pain in the ass. Ving Rhames has a role that signifies the reality that homosexuals can be anyone and not necessarily the stereotypes we've been faced with. While the film has its flaws, it also survives on a strong message regarding individual rights whether gay or straight. Unfortunately it backfires in its attack on religion. Score: 6 / 10

vmp5 Maybe I'm the very last one writing a review here, but was just laughing my ass off. I've had some crisis recently watching anything but Roland Emmerich movies, so i am prepared to suffer. That was the way I got over the first ten minutes when I expected something like "The heat", which i just finished watching to practice suffering. This film has the potential to even be the successor of my favorite gay movie "La Cage aux Folles". So unpretentious. Loving Steve Busceme and Dan Akroyd and even Adam Sandler. I'm just longing for entertainment right now and do not reflect any political intentions. The stereotypes make the fun!

FlashCallahan Chuck and Larry are firefighting partners. Larry, who still mourns the death of his wife, is having problems changing the beneficiary on his insurance policy from Paula's name to his children's.Larry saves Chuck's life on one of their calls. So when Chuck tells Larry that he owes him one, Larry takes him up on his offer. Larry's favour, enter into a domestic partnership, in name and paper only, to provide that much needed protection for Larry's children.Chuck reluctantly agrees. Their plan hits a snag when they get investigated by the pension department for possible fraud, which means that Chuck has to move in with him......From the get go, it's clear that this film isn't going to be that politically correct, other than a few shots of Sandler punching people holding up signs that are not agreeable.But we haven't watched this for maturity, we have seen this because we like Sandler and like James. They have really good chemistry in this, and make the film that little more watchable.It's not the most trying of plots: two men pretending to be gay, avoiding Steve Buscemi, falling for Biel, being hated by their colleagues, big speech at the end.All perfunctory stuff, a little too long for my liking, but there is so much fun to be had in the film, and you can tell that the cast and crew had fun making it.Rhames is the standout here, as with all Sandler movies, it's not about him, it's the characters in the background who make the movie funny.Well worth seeing if your a Sandler fan, and another to hate if your not.
