Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Vic Gear I realized that there was a whole issue on the premise on acting "gay." It totally ignores the fact that the two could have been bisexual, or had a open marriage. They didn't need to try half as hard as they did at being the typical "effeminate" gay men, because only "straight and gay" exists. It is worth a watch, just don't expect too much from this. Even though this movie has issues, it's got a decent message (besides it being ok to commit fraud if its for a good reason).
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.
Padraig Walsh I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry stars Kevin James and Adam Sandler as two straight New York firefighters. But when Larry saves Chuck's life, he must honor the code of doing whatever, whenever. And Larry wants him to pretend to be gay and marry each other to receive the domestic partner benefits. I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is a typical Sandler comedy. So if you don't like Sandler you probably won't like this. However, I enjoy Sandler and so I enjoyed this. I actually think it's one of his better films. It has a great, funny cast including all of Sandler's regulars which show up at one point or another. And Kevin James, as always in my opinion, is great in it. It has some very funny moments and I really liked it. In comparison to some of Sandler's other work - Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore - it's not as good. But it is better than some of his other work. I think this film was just targeted by critics and Sandler haters to be bad but to be honest, it's probably the most versatile Sandler film in terms of the audience it could endure. I mean, it's not as childish and senseless as his other films. Although, I do like childish and senseless. A solid 7/10.
