I found this movie online recently and can't get enough of it. I've watched it five or six times now. It's mostly comedy. But, it does make you thinks about what the gay folks go through (I'm a straight guy myself)). Too much hate in the world and we all need to learn how to get along with each other. And who wouldn't get a laugh out of manly Ving Rhames prancing around and singing the feminine songs? I really like the movie. And I normally don't enjoy the PC motivated movies and TV shows. Anyways, it's a solid 8!

Plot summary
Chuck Levine and Larry Valentine are friends and Brooklyn firefighting partners. Widower Larry, who still mourns the death of his wife Paula, is having problems changing the beneficiary on his insurance policy from Paula's name to his children's. He is worried about his children's future if he were to be killed in the line of duty, and is contemplating quitting his job for something less risky, but he also does not want to forfeit his firefighter's pension as he also see it as a safety net for his children. 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 favor: despite both being heterosexual, that they enter into a domestic partnership, in name and paper only, to provide that much needed protection for Larry's children. Chronic womanizer Chuck reluctantly but eventually agrees. The one person who knows for a certainty that they are both straight is their boss, Captain Phineas J. Tucker. Their plan hits a snag when Larry believes that they are being investigated by the pension department for possible fraud, which means that Chuck has to move in with him and his kids. They consult the advice of a lawyer, Alex McDonough, who adds an extra layer of complexity to the situation as Chuck in particular is attracted to her and believes she could be the one and only for him. Her legal advice coupled with her wanting Chuck to be her new best girlfriend makes it even harder on him.

Awful
This movie was terrible. Absolutely terrible. One stereotype after another. The whole opening sequence (the one with the twins) I kept thinking it was a dream sequence or something, but no. It was just some horny screen writer living out his pubescent fantasies. How pathetic.
Sandler was the oh-so-bursting-with-testosterone-manly fire fighter banging one hot chick after another, James the clumsy-can't-cook-yet-endearing-widowed father just wanting to take care of his kid. How heart breaking. I turned this movie off after about five or ten minutes, simply because this was about the most homophobic garbage I have ever seen. Gay jokes can be funny, but building an entire movie around how yucky homosexuality is doesn't really sound like the 21st century to me.
Admittedly, I didn't watch the entire movie. But let me guess what happens: I bet there's scene where they're forced to kiss each other, just to show how yucky it is being gay. I can picture the two doing the lemon-face (eyes and mouth pinched shut) closing in on each other with trembling lips.
Sandler the man whore meets Jessica Biel, who doesn't fall for him at first, but in the end he learns what true love is all about, and they live happily ever after.
James gets to keep his kid, and they live happily ever after.
Ving Rhames, the quiet, scary and manliest fire fighter of them all reveals that he is gay, everyone hugs, shares a good laugh and live happily ever after.
Save your money and your time. For me, this was ten minutes of my life that I'll never get back again.

Much Better Than I Thought!
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is a typical, funny movie starring Adam Sandler. I think critics don't like this movie because Adam Sandler has a kind of humor that most people don't have. Get used to it folks! The story is about two firemen who are "gay" because one fireman, Larry needed benefits to support his children. The story is mildly interesting. I am not a fan of gay jokes except when Adam Sandler is a main character and movies with plots like this. The acting overall is not too shabby. Believe it or not, Ving Rhames cracked me up the most as a fireman who seems as if he was going to go on a murder spree. Dan Aykroyd was hilarious as well as the rest of the cast that features Sandler, Kevin James, and Steve Buscemi. I really did not like Jessica Biel. She was very childish in this movie. Overall, this is a funny movie, not something to offend gay people. I rate this movie 8/10.
