I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry
Director: Dennis Dugan
Cast: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Jessica Biel and more
Plot outline: Larry's wife has passed away, and in order to fix some legal matter (can't remember what) he marries his best friend, Chuck. They're both firefighters, and prejudices ensue.
Funny at times, but very inconsistent. Also, a thing that bothered me (to the point where it almost ruined the movie) was that even though this movie supposedly makes fun of the prejudices about gay people and the macho community around firefighters, police or other careers dominated by men, there are many scenes where the director doesn't seem to be aware of that he underlines the stereotyped Man with a capital M. That would have been okay if it'd been a conscious move, to make fun of it, but it isn't, or at least it doesn't come out that way. So to sum it up, some good parts, some less good parts and some really bad parts. Okay to see once, but not again.
