Reviews for I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry
I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry is not as hilarious as it thinks it is, profound as it pretends to be, or tolerant as it intends.
07/19/07
Chuck & Larry is such an abysmal stab at comedy on every conceivable level that I wish there was a hate group we could join to protest it.
07/19/07
takes place in a magical New York City where Adam Sandler (minus the bazillion dollars he has in the bank and the Porsche he drives down the street) is a beefcake calendar superstar who carouses with the entire female staff of Hooter's Chinatown.
07/19/07
When the movie finally attempts to have a redeeming message, it's not as much a case of trying to eat your cake and have it too as it is trying to walk with your foot jammed firmly in your mouth.
07/19/07
Can the occasion of overgrown-fratboy goofball Adam Sandler and resolutely vanilla sitcom dad Kevin James in fagface be anything other than an invitation to laugh at icky queery flamboyant homos?

could be lightly described as flippin' horrendous
07/19/07
Each and every character is cookie cutter stupid and I couldn't wait to leave the theater.
07/19/07
It's kind of like "Tootsie," only without the drag. Or the class. Or the laughs.
07/19/07
its mild pleasures are spoiled by its belief that homophobic humor can be somehow sanitized by a cheesy Shylock-ripoff speech about how it's who we are as people that really matters. As if.
07/19/07
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry works hard at not being offensive. It just doesn't work hard enough at being good.
07/19/07
In the proper hands this could have come off as genuine, but under the direction of Dennis Dugan and the empire that is Adam Sandler, it's just a vehicle for cheap shots, reusable jokes, and tired clichés.
07/19/07
There are gags here that may be older than the film's stars.

Top CriticI Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry stumbles around like a Cher impersonator missing one red sequined pump.
07/19/07
Adam Sandler and Kevin James play courageous Brooklyn firefighters and best friends in this comedy that seems designed to be as bad as it can be.
07/19/07
If there's a saving grace, and there is, it's that the movie strives, in its often-awkward way, for acceptance. And how bad can that be?
07/19/07
Plays on male fears of women and homosexuality so well that you'd think the movie had been made by actual 15-year-olds.
07/19/07
Ends up patronizing both the frat-boy Sandler audience -- presuming they need lectures on tolerance -- and the potential gay audience.
07/19/07
Perhaps the funniest thing about the movie is seeing how little chemistry there is between Sandler and Jessica Biel, who plays his love interest. (As strange as it sounds, Sandler has more chemistry with James.)
07/19/07
Whatever gay stereotypes exist in this movie -- and they probably number in the hundreds -- the writers of the comedy are much tougher on morbidly obese people, hot women, the homeless, mailmen, unattractive women and particularly Asians.
