The laugh to wince factor is about five to two in favor of winces.

Reviews for I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry
The movie is trying to tell you that gays are people too. Sure they're icky, embarrassing people, but you should still be nice to them.

...clumsy lunkhead slapstick...
07/27/07
I laughed enough to assure myself I wasn't wasting my time, but not enough to convince me Sandler isn't on cruise control.
07/26/07
Your typical bad Adam Sandler comedy that earns a few extra points in the realm of intent -- or at least possible intent.
07/25/07
Many, many things are wrong with Chuck and Larry, but its ultimate failure lies in the ludicrous explanation used to get its stars to the altar.
07/25/07
This comedy isn’t just juvenile, it’s borderline brainless – the sort of bland, unfunny and, at times, slightly offensive drivel that one might expect from a grade schooler.
07/25/07
There is something to be said for a movie that may end up preaching, for a change, to the unconverted. If only the laughs were bigger, smarter and more frequent than they are.
07/24/07
The movie is a numbskull insult to gay people. Just on the basis of the mirthless trailer, however, they'll probably ignore it. I doubt they'll be alone.
07/24/07
I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry revels in gay stereotypes and allegedly funny uses of derogatory words, then tries to squeeze out a pro-tolerance message at the end. The whole thing rings as insincerely as an Isaiah Washington apology.
07/24/07
The premise is older than the pilot for Three’s Company, and just as unfunny.
07/23/07
You don't even need to find this movie offensive to hate it. You just need to stay awake long enough to notice that it's not funny.
07/23/07
Despite its shortcomings, Chuck and Larry should satiate the modest tastes of the run-of the-mill viewer who simply wants some trite entertainment and easy laughs to pass the time with.
07/23/07
Something's out of whack when Rob Schneider -- as an Asian caricature running a wedding chapel north of the border -- gives the best performance.
07/23/07
'Boat Trip alone left many unanswered questions,' said CNN fixture Larry King as a production assistant shoveled porridge into his mouth.
07/23/07
... a guarded comedy too gun shy to take its concept to the zany, over-the-top heights fans of Sandler have come to expect.
07/23/07
Adam Sandler and Kevin James ought to be ashamed to be associated with the cinematic equivalent of gay bashing.
07/23/07
simply isn’t funny enough to rise above its base premise and lazy screenplay.
07/22/07
Here's a strange hodgepodge of the usual Adam Sandler locker-room humor and a lesson about treating everyone fairly.
07/21/07
wants to appeal to fans of Billy Madison with its homophobichetero jokes while sucking in The Wedding Singer crowd with its tolerancemessage and 'softer-side-of-Sandler.'
