Love will keep us together..,
By Amanda Richards (Georgetown, Guyana) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (Widescreen) (DVD)
This absolutely hilarious comedy hit all the right notes with me. The soundtrack in particular would be any wedding singer's dream request line-up, and the actors are pitch perfect, obviously having had a lot of fun making the movie.In brief, Larry (Kevin James) is a widower with two kids (both of whom will remind you of Abigail Breslin in Little Miss Sunshine) who tries to short circuit the process of getting his insurance policy changed. Larry is a firefighter, and is partnered with his best friend Chuck (Adam Sandler), a calendar model and womanizer, who definitely knows how to keep a crowd warm and happy. One day on the job, Larry saves Chuck's life, and payback, as they say, is a beyotch. To cut a long and very funny story short, Mr. and Mr. Larry Valentine have to prove that their domestic partnership is the real deal, leading to rib-tickling situations involving their lawyer (Jessica Biel), their boss (Dan Aykroyd), the fraud inspector (Steve Buscemi), and their firefighting buddies including Ving Rhames as you've never seen him before (and may never want to see him again). Rob Schneider and David Spade make cameo appearances, as do Nick Swardson, Mary Pat Gleason and Richard Chamberlain as the thorny Councilman Banks. Keeping the music n'sync is Lance Bass, who plays a band leader. A few of scenes go on a little too long, but the laughs just keep coming, and the thing that pulls the whole movie together is the bond of friendship between the two leads, as well as the love of their family and friends. As The Captain & Tennille once sang: "I will, I will, I will, I will Be there to share forever Love will keep us together Said it before and I'll say it again while others pretend I'll need you now and I'll need you then Stop 'cause I really love Ya Stop I'll be thinking of Ya Look in my heart and let love keep us together" Rated: 4.5 stars Amanda Richards

more negatives than positives,

This review is from: I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (Widescreen) (DVD)
well,this was disappointing.took me awhile to get around to it.notquite worth the wait,in my mind.too long,for one thing.by about maybe 20 plus minutes.also,it wasn't really funny,save for a few chuckles here and there and one time where i laughed out loud.also,though i'm not really someone who gets offended easily,there are some things in this movie that i could see people getting offended by,and with good reason.the whole women being objectified and being nothing but eye candy gets tiresome after you've seen it in enough movies(this is coming from a straight guy.plus it isn't funny.and then there's Rob Schneider playing another stereotyped character,or rather caricature,that could be considered in bad taste.there were some good things about the movie,though.Richard Chamberlain who's openly gay,had a small part in the movie.the whole issue of homosexuality was treated(mostly) with respect and dignity.and Jessica Beil's character was a strong female character who was not a bimbo or eye candy.plus,parts of the movie movie were touching and had a positive message.overall,i didn't hate it,but i wouldn't recommend it either.for me,i now pronounce you Chuck and Larry is a 2/5

What A Flop !,
By M. B. Richardson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (Full Screen) (DVD)
Adam Sandler can be hit or miss with his movies - this one is worse tham "miss" - it is dire ! Quite obviously made by macho lesbian loving , football playing , beer guzzling men who have'nt the faintest idea what the word comedy actually means - NOT FUNNY - Just crass ! If you have 90 minutes of your life to waste - get this one !! See if you can find an intelligable storyline or a funny line .

So so so funny!,
By Lynn Benson - Published on Amazon.com

Expected it to be "okay". Adam Sandler movies can tend to be ridiculous -- when he plays ignorant and unrealisticly stupid boneheads from time to time. I was kind of expecting that. But I was hoping for a couple of hours by myself so I got a movie I know there was no chance my husband would dare watch with me (not in a million years...) And I was so pleasantly suprised to be laughing out loud over and over again. I absolutely loved the light-in-the-loafers son. Especially when he beat up the bully at school. I about peed my pants. THAT was one of the best fight scenes in film history! Someone needs to clip that and turn it viral! If you're homophobic, you are going to be uncomfortable a lot in this movie. Not like Brokeback Mountain, but you may want to pass nonetheless. But if you've got a sense of humor and you're a normal human being -- watch this.

Not again!,
By PB&bananas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (Widescreen) (DVD)
It seems like all of Adam Sandler's movies have the same theme, plot and actors. Frankly I am over it, but I thought just maybe this one would be different. If you are are expecting to be blown away and laughing hysterically you won't be. If you have seen Adam's other movies you will be able to predict what happens.
