Watch'n'Blog Oh Adam Sandler... I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is proving to be comical within the first five minutes and is keeping me interested as any other Adam Sandler movie would. I must admit, I mostly wanted to see this movie for Kevin James. I've noticed that in many of Adam Sandler's films he repeatedly casts the same people. I like that. It's like Will Ferrell movies and the "Frat Pack." Except, with Adam Sandler it's more of a "Stupid-Pack" since most of the "repeaters" in his films all portray slightly handicaped people. I don't know yet how I feel about Jessica Beil being in the movie. I kind of miss her 7th Heaven days. She was so cute and... virginal? Regardless of the actors and actresses in the movie here is what IMDB has to say about what the movie is about (warning: may contain spoilers):
Chuck Levine and Larry Valentine are two firefighters. They are good friends. However, Larry is a widower (with two small children) and Chuck is single.
Larry dares Chuck one day to eat a dead rat, but he falls from the ladder that he was going to the drop the rat from. Chuck saves him but the two are rushed to the hospital and quickly recover. Larry calls in that favor big time when civic red tape prevents him from naming his two kids as his pension beneficiaries. All that Chuck has to do is claim to be Larry's domestic partner on some city forms. They think it will be easy because nobody will ever know. After Chuck agrees to the ruse (though reluctantly so, due in large part to his notorious womanizing), the two men go to Niagara Falls to get married, and Chuck moves in with Larry and his unsuspecting kids.
But an official becomes suspicious, and the new couple's arrangement becomes a citywide issue and goes from confidential to front-page news. Forced to improvise as love-struck newlyweds, Chuck and Larry must now fumble through a charade of domestic bliss under one roof. After surviving their mandatory honeymoon and dodging the threat of exposure, the well-intentioned con men discover that sticking together in your time of need is what truly makes a family.
Overall, the movie is pretty funny. Adam Sandler and Kevin James are pretty funny together and the concept of the movie is cute. It got pretty cheesy towards the end, but you can't have a funny Adam Sandler movie without the cheese-tastic happy ending. :) I say, RENT IT.
