It all boils down to a horrible waste of talent.

Reviews for I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry
Top CriticThe movie is often stupid. But coming from an industry institutionally terrified of being honest about its own sexuality, it feels brave, going a step further than 'not that there's anything wrong with that.'
07/20/07
Films that preach tolerance and respect for diversity, which is what this one does ultimately, are fine and good, and here's hoping the message comes across. But here's betting the fat and the gay jokes hang around a lot longer.
07/20/07
"Up-Chuck" is more like it.
07/20/07
Contrived to the point of painful.
07/20/07
Despite some hearty humor from Adam Sandler, co-star Kevin James and a handful of well-cast character actors, the film's contrived plot and discriminatory jabs ultimately make Chuck and Larry a tactless engagement.
07/20/07
Even with Sandler up to his old tricks, he and James aren't really to blame for the failure of this movie-by-committee that throws a bunch of tired jokes against the wall and settles for the two or three that actually stick.
07/20/07
Even more off-putting than the incessant faggot jokes is the movie's pandering for tolerance, which is queasily sentimental and patently unconvincing.
07/20/07
Not so much anti-gay as it is anti-humor, it's easily Adam Sandler's worst comedy ever, and it's depressing to watch him strain to be a Walter Matthau to Kevin James' sweetly exasperated Jack Lemmon. It's a groaningly obvious, abysmally unfunny dud.
07/20/07
...infantile...politically correct nonsense.
07/20/07
While it might be enough to make you laugh -- like with the majority of his films -- it's far from memorable.
07/20/07
a gay rights film aimed at homophobic heterosexuals
07/20/07
It's a curious and not very funny comedy that, nonetheless, is a fascinating social document.
07/20/07
... so remarkably free of laughs I might as well have been watching John Wayne Gacy's home movies.
07/20/07
I sure hope Sandler's next movie is about learning the pain of Asian folks...that'd be hilarious!
07/20/07
An equal-opportunity offender, slapping right wingers on the wrist while, much to said right wingers' expectations, reducing homosexuality to its lowest common denominators.
07/20/07
Sporadically funny, casually sexist, blithely racist and about as visually sophisticated as a parking-garage surveillance video.
07/20/07
Top CriticA dated, ill-conceived project that's wrong on so many levels.
07/20/07
Chuck & Larry is a clumsy comedy, made with heartening intentions, but a little wobbly in execution. But you know what? It isn't Click, and that's something to celebrate.
07/19/07
In fact, I can pretty much guarantee that this is the worst film playing at a theater near you this weekend, even if your local multiplex has held over "Captivity" for a second week. . .
