Tremendously savvy in its stupid way, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is as eloquent as "Brokeback Mountain," and even more radical...
Full reviewChuck (Adam Sandler) and Larry (Kevin James) are damned decent firefighters. Larry’s a salt-of-the-earth widower, Chuck enjoys life as a single man. After saving Chuck's life, Larry calls in a returned favour by asking him to pretend to be his gay partner in order to receive a government benefit.
When an overzealous bureaucrat becomes suspicious, the new couple's arrangement becomes a citywide issue and goes from confidential to front-page news. Forced to improvise as love-struck newlyweds, Chuck and Larry fumble through a charade of domestic bliss.
Happy Gilmore director (Duggan) is backing up from the recent, terrible, The Benchwarmers. But amongst the six screenwriters are Alexander Payne Jim Taylor (Election, Sideways), who did the last re-write.

Full reviewThe kind of buddy comedy Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau might have starred in 40 years ago, when the material would have felt less dated, if no less silly...
Full reviewThe curious thing here is that Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor rewrote this long-in-development screenplay. Yet the authors of such smart comedies as "Sideways," "About Schmidt" and "Citizen Ruth" can't move the film away from the world of easy laughs and sitcom jokes into a realm where sexual prejudices and presumptions get examined in a whimsical yet insightful manner...
Full reviewDespite the fact that the movie covers some new cinematic territory, much of the humor feels recycled, mostly from the "Seinfeld" episodes "The Boyfriend" (the one where Jerry has a man crush on Keith Hernandez) and "The Outing"...
Full reviewAn empty, unconvincing excuse for a series of bad-taste gags, propped up by a message that rings incredibly hollow...
Full reviewI Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is available to stream in Australia now on Google Play and Apple TV and Foxtel and Binge and Prime Video Store.
