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

So so so funny!
Expected it to be "okay". Adam Sandler movies can tend to be ridiculous -- when he plays ignorant and unrealisticly stupid boneheads from time to time. I was kind of expecting that. But I was hoping for a couple of hours by myself so I got a movie I know there was no chance my husband would dare watch with me (not in a million years...) And I was so pleasantly suprised to be laughing out loud over and over again. I absolutely loved the light-in-the-loafers son. Especially when he beat up the bully at school. I about peed my pants. THAT was one of the best fight scenes in film history! Someone needs to clip that and turn it viral! If you're homophobic, you are going to be uncomfortable a lot in this movie. Not like Brokeback Mountain, but you may want to pass nonetheless. But if you've got a sense of humor and you're a normal human being -- watch this.

Definitely One of Adam Sandler's Misses
Adam Sandler certainly has had some hit movies- but this is not one of them. This particular film is seriously missing something...I think overall it's just the chemistry of James and Sandler. They don't work well together; they're better off never working together again.

I rented this out for the plot did sound funny enough, and the trailer for the movie sure made it look entertaining. But trailers can really fool you sometimes that's all. I hardly laughed throughout the entire movie, and most of the time I was looking at the clock, eager for the film to finally wrap itself up. It does grow boring and the jokes are not close to being memorable or side- splitting.

Not to mention Sandler's character is just annoying from beginning to end. All this together makes this a rather lousy movie. Another Sandler miss to add to the list.

Kinda Disappointed In My Two Favorite Comedians
Being a big fan of both Sandler and James, it hurts to rate the film so low. I was really expecting a lot from two of my favorite modern comedians, but there just wasn't much in the story to be really funny. James and Sandler have both done seperate movies and TV shows that are funnier than this. Don't get me wrong, it is ok, but more like a giggle here and there instead of a full on belly laugh the entire film. I can't even think of a scene that was my favorite, which is another problem, it's not that memorable. Overall, it is worth watching but not worth buying.
