The Worst Gay Marriage Movie Ever

Title: I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry

Actors/Director/Anything Worth Mentioning Right Away:  This movie has Adam Sandler and Kevin James in it.  You probably remember it being in theaters… unless you’re a Sandler fan.

Introduction:  I got this from the library and watched it for a second time.  I always see it at Wal-Mart for $5 so was wondering if I should buy it or not.  Let me tell you, it isn’t worth one dollar, so I’m glad I refreshed my memory before buying it.

Location:  All over New York City (basically a big kiss ass movie after the events of 9/11 coupled with a budget they obviously didn’t know how to spend)

Plot:  As a firefighter, you risk death every day; this is very true and very serious.   Should a firefighter die, who gets the benefits?   The spouse will, if they are married and you do the paperwork in enough time.  But when your wife dies, what do you do?   Of course, you pretend to be gay to marry your best friend and make sure your kids have the best possible future should something happen to you.   I know there are people who probably are offended by this movie because it isn’t exactly gay friendly.  While official spokespeople for GLADD have stated that the film has a good overall message, I still am offended by this movie and I’m not even gay.   This movie insults both firefighters and the risks that they take by putting their lives on the line to save yours, and it isn’t exactly sending the best message to those out there who still oppose gay marriage.   ~Oh, but, Josh, it’s supposed to be light hearted.  It’s a comedy.  Stop taking it so seriously~   Yeah… I’ll believe all that once this movie actually makes me laugh.

Acting:  Adam Sandler seems to be phoning it in and Kevin James reminds us all, yet again, how empty this world is without Chris Farley.

Production:  Meh.

Sex/Nudity:  Not that it’d make it any better or worse.

Special Effects:  There are some scenes with fire, but you know, most of the budget was blown on… I have no idea what.

Overall Verdict:  Adam Sandler collaborated on this movie with Dennis Dugan (director).   The duo worked together prior to this on Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy, Zohan and Grown Ups.   How did those movies come out so good, yet this is so horrible?  Yes, Zohan is not the worst Adam Sandler movie out there.
