I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry - Movie Review

"I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry"

Jeff: Nothing funny about ‘Chuck and Larry’

Plot: Larry (Kevin James) and Chuck (Adam Sandler) are best friends and firefighters. They would do anything for each other, so when Larry loses his insurance benefits because of civic red tape, he convinces Chuck to become his domestic partner. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy as that when a bureaucrat (Steve Buscemi) comes sniffing around, Larry and Chuck are forced to act like they are in love. This proves especially difficult when Chuck starts falling for the lawyer (Jessica Biel) hired to help them.

Who’s it for: This film is for people that still think slurs are funny but realize it’s not politically correct.

Expectations: Would this film just be a slew of bad gay jokes directed at a society that isn’t ready to deal with equality? Or would it rise above? I had two hours to find out.
