        <title>I Now Pronounce You Chuck &amp; Larry — A Film Bombs in Brooklyn</title>
        <link>http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/23/I-Now-Pronounce-You-Chuck-and-Larry--A-Film.aspx</link>
        <description>I walked out of the theater legitimately angry that I had volunteered to sit through this movie.&amp;nbsp; I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK AND LARRY is so terrible as to be mob-inducing.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;rsquo;s a formulaic, shallow, lazy bore of a movie that I pray only gets released on laser disc.&amp;nbsp; Honestly, film footage from this tasteless pap could have been featured in the brainwashing sequence in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE to great effect. If ever there was proof that Adam Sandler has squandered any semblance of comedic credit, it is this film. Go to hell, Little Nicky.&amp;nbsp; Please.

I&amp;rsquo;m going to run through the plot to this one. Try to keep up. Chuck Levine (Adam Sandler) and Larry Valentine (Kevin James) are two Brooklyn firefighters. Larry is a widower and somewhat lacking father to his two children, Eric and Tori. Chuck is the local (unconvincing) lothario and Larry&amp;rsquo;s best friend. After a near-fatal episode where Larry saves Chuck&amp;rsquo;s life, the former begins to worry about the welfare of his children should his job claim his life. Larry then discovers a loophole by which he can make sure his children are taken care of, and he uses his leverage over Chuck to cajole him into joining him in a civil union. The &amp;ldquo;couple&amp;rdquo; is investigated for insurance fraud and lawyer Alex McDonough (Jessica Biel) is called in to defend them. The rest of the movie plays out exactly as you would expect it to &amp;mdash; complete with gay jokes followed by tolerance speeches, deceived love interests, and of course, the final BIG DADDY-esque courtroom scene. CHUCK AND LARRY brings nothing new to the discourse or the genre.&amp;nbsp; There is no emotional connection to the characters. Oh, and it&amp;rsquo;s not funny.</description>

            <description>Kevin:  What did you expect from an Adam Sandler movie?  His movies universally suck.  Maybe he can write a goofy song that makes you chuckle but no way can he create a movie worth watching.</description>

            <description>Adam Sandler seems like a nice guy but his movies are unwatchable. He's hands down come up with the worst characters of all time, but his movies make big bucks. So I'll guess he'll be back, just not on my DVD shelf.</description>

            <description>kevin here.  to be honest, from the moment this movie was announced, i knew it was going to be terrible.  i wasn't surprised that i didn't enjoy it, but i tried to approach the film with an open mind and write a review that might convince those less jaded than myself to stay away.  it was hard to not make this review an all out bashing session.</description>

            <description>Have not seen the movie, but i feel from review that it's a&lt;br /&gt;waste of time and money to go see it.</description>

            <description>I thought the movie was boring and I found it to be not up to par.  I seen Adam Sandler in other movies but this one was not very good.,</description>

            <title>Big on Hype, Small on Funny!!!</title>

            <description>I was really disappointed in this one.  Did not live up to the hype what so ever.  If it were not for Jessica Beil(so hot) this movie would have universally SUCKED!!!  Too bad movies dont come with a money back guarantee, cause i would have been askin for a refund on this one.  Kevin James needs to stick to TV and hangin out at UFC events!!!</description>

            <description>Adam Sandler is as funny as my grandma's impression of a Peach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His movies are more in the romantic comedy - chick flick - style that only people with vagina like</description>

            <description>I have yet to find an Adam Sandler movie that piqued my interest other than "Punch Drunk Love." This one was no exception. Too sophmoric. Nor does Kevin James transition well from the small-screen to the big-screen.</description>

            <description>One of the funniest movies of the year. The theater was packed and everyone in there were laughing their butts off. &lt;br /&gt;Jessica Beal is a crappy actress, but that booty is amazing.. I loved it.. Most of his movies are made for people with a sense of humor, not the mundane who look for legitamacy in a fictional story line.</description>

            <description>Awful. It was just stupid. Not stupid funny. Just stupid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not well done at all Jessica Biel didn't even have a character; they used her lack of shirt for a distraction from how incredibly unimaginative this movie was. (Normally a cover for bad horror movies, i.e. Cabin Fever.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All they did was attempt to exploit stereotypes for cheap laughs. They didn't even pull that off. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Waste of time and money.</description>
