DVD Reviews of I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (Widescreen Edition)

DVD Review: a good job with reality
Summary: 5 Stars

The film I now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is a great film that deals with the inequalities that gay couples face when it comes to marriage. I believe that the movie not only tries to deal with the fact that marriage is for everyone, regardless on who it is between. The film shows that the time period we are in now is much more accepting towards a gay lifestyle than the world people lived in about 45 to 60 years ago. An older gentelman in the film states that homosexuality is wrong and that gay marriage should not be allowed. In reality, gay couples should be allowed to marry because science hs proven that being gay is biological. The problem is that religion is making people believe that being gay is bad and should not be allowed to marry, and the movie does a great job of showing the battle between gay marriage and religion.

DVD Review: Few laughs. Poorly done film.
Summary: 1 Stars

I enjoy good comedies that make me laugh and forget the stresses of day to day life. This film, unfortunately, did not do that often. The jokes were strained and the writing tried too hard to get a laugh, mostly unsuccessfully. Furthermore, the camera work and editing were substandard--I expected better production value from an Adam Sandler vehicle.

This film gave me the impression that somebody came up with a funny premise and then rushed it to the screen. I wouldn't recommend it.

DVD Review: Perfect Comedy!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a very funny movie with Adam Sandler and Kevin James! They are hilarious together. Kevin plays Larry Valentine, and Adam plays Chuck Levine. Larry is a Firefighter who's wife died. Since he is distracted by his wife's passing, he hasn't changed the primary beneficiary of his pension from his wife to his children. The only way to do that is to get married. Larry sees an article about same-sex domestic partnership, and decides to have Chuck be is 'partner' Even though they are both straight, they have to go to Canada to get married, because no one will let gay people get married in the U.S.A. (I thought America was supposed to be about freedom.) Soon, a specialist is sent to investigate to see if they really are gay, or just trying to cheat the system. Chuck and Larry receive help from Alex McDonough, played by the beautiful Jessica Biel. While attending a gay costume benefit party, an anti-gay rights group come by and bash them for being gay. Chuck gets in a fight for being called a faggot. Even the guys at the Fire Department don't want them around. Later, they must go to court to prove that they are gay. If you are gay, and love comedy, you'll love I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK AND LARRY!!!

DVD Review: Funny
Summary: 5 Stars

This has got to be the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. Adam Sandler and Kevin James were funny but Vhing Rhames had me in stitches. A must see.

DVD Review: It is not hilarious.
Summary: 3 Stars

I've always laughed watching Adam Sandler's movies, specially "The Wedding Singer" which I regularly see again and again. In this new movie, (I watched it on cable, so it's new for me) Larry (Kevin James) is his firefighter friend who happen to save Chuck (Sandler) during a fire mission. In return, Larry asks his friend a difficult favour (according to Chuck's point of view as he is a womanizer). He has to pretend to be his friend's gay partner. They have to prove for a Government agent they are happily married, so Larry's children continue with him and receiving domestic benefits. By the way, Larry has been a widower for three years.

The two actors try to make this situation funny but I found it to be dull and offensive. I'm straight, however I don't like to see anyone to be rididularized, either straight, gay, lesbian... Everybody has the right to live his/her life and that's it. Only in the end, they finally understand to be democratic and learn by themselves the meaning of prejudice. Anyway, I give three stars because I really like the two actors.

Description of I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (Widescreen Edition)

Adam Sandler and Kevin James star as best friends and fellow firefighters Chuck and Larry, the pride of their Brooklyn fire station. Chuck owes Larry for saving his life. Larry calls in that favor big-time by asking Chuck to pose as his "domestic partner" so his kids will get his pension. But when a fact-checking bureaucrat becomes suspicious, the two straight guys are forced to improvise as love-struck newlyweds. Jessica Biel, Ving Rhames and Dan Aykroyd co-star in this hilarious comedy.

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
