REVIEW: I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
Posted by Johnny Mercedes Categories: Universal, Drama, Comedy, New Releases, Theatrical Reviews,
When Larry Valentine (Kevin James), an NYPD fireman and father of two, discovers his children will no longer be pension beneficiaries after the death of his wife, he must find a way to protect them should something happen to him. After saving the life of his longtime friend and co-worker Chuck Levine (Adam Sandler), Larry hatches a plan and convinces Chuck to become his domestic partner – much to Chuck’s chagrin. Everything seems easy at first, but soon the men are challenged by the city of New York and must go to extreme lengths to keep up the charade. Sexy lawyer Alex McDonough (Jessica Biel) steps in to help the gentlemen, but Chuck has a hard time keeping his eyes (and hands) off of the only person with the ability to help them refute the skepticism.
Although Chuck and Larry attempts to show the difficulties homosexuals still have being accepted in society, the themes are contradicted by numerous (and horribly dated) gay jokes and derogatory terms audiences will first find mildly amusing, then awkward and discomforting.
