Movie Review-I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry-3 out of 4


I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is the latest Comedy from Adam Sandler. The plot of the movie is very simple. Chuck (played by Adam Sandler) and Larry (played by Kevin James) are best friends and firefighters. Larry has lost his wife and he has been trying to turn over his pension to his children, but a rule in regards to timing prevents Larry from doing this. Only a new spouse would be allowed to receive his pension. After saving his friend Chuck, Larry comes of up with the idea that he and Chuck should set up a domestic partnership in order for Larry's children to receive his pension. What first starts off as a idea on paper, turns into a full blown investigation by the city. Chuck and Larry must act like a domestic partnership in every way until the investigation is over. While comedy ensues, there are some gut wrenching scenes put into the comedy. Much like Click, this movie makes you take a step back and makes you really appreciated the people that you have.

Larry has been keeping all of his wife's items and has a hard time of letting go of her. The scene where he finally decides to do so is one that is straight out of an Oscar winning movie. It was really sad to see him in this situation and the comedy started to take on a message. While the critics might not think the movie is all that great, I would say that it is a good movie with a good message. It makes you rethink that way that you treat gays, friends, co-workers, and family. All in all, a good experience.
