I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry

How far would you go in order to help a friend in need, are you close enough to pretend to be a gay couple in order to carry benefits for your children. Well in this comedy, that at times will leave you rolling on the floor laughing, Adam Sandler and Kevin James portray two friends who must go to the extreme to show the depth of their friendship. Some of the jokes here are so straightforward you can't do anything but laugh, and the situations seem so real that the story feels completely believable. Considering all of the issues that this film brings up, from the gay lifestyle to government benefits, its amazing that the story itself doesn't get bogged down, but finding the humor in everyday life is something these two guys are experts at.
When firefighter Larry Allensworth discovers that he can't put his children as beneficiary's on his insurance unless he gets married, he asks his closest friend to pose as his gay domestic partner in order to make the changes to the insurance. The teaming of these two comedians works so well that you can see the chemistry leading on to other projects. Here the jokes fly back and forth between the two of them and then when another actor is involved they either become the target of the jokes or the protagonist to drive Sandler and James in a new direction. At times during the film it seems like they break into adlibbing dialog and scenes, but that just lends to the superb job these two comedians do. When it appears to be completely natural and fluid that's when the best work comes forward and the audience enjoys themselves from the heart.
It's truly hard to find a comedy that will appeal to multiple members of an audience, but this one does it in spades. Between the childish, off-color, politically correct and incorrect jokes, and the physical stunts that are throughout the film there are times that you'll be shaking your head but most of the time you'll be laughing to hard to notice the difference. Some of the issues that are discussed aren't for everyone, but if you watch it with an open mind I'll bet you'll find yourself snickering at some of the character portrayals that you've probably seen at one time or another.
