I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
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.
