Movie Review by Perry Pannu:

I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
In Theatres Today

Wow, I’m really disappointed in this movie. I was ready for hilarious and revolutionary and refreshing…but it was just ‘sort of’ funny, with one painful cliché after another. Did Adam Sandler and his friends get together, shoot a lot of footage of each other goofing off, and then hire an editor to slap it together and call it a movie? (I’d hate to be that guy/girl). There are storylines that don’t have an ending (like the incident at ‘Career Day’ in school with Kevin James‘ character), and there are storylines that you already know the ending to (thanks to the trailer).

I honestly don’t know who would want to go see this movie. Adam Sandler fans? Kevin James fans? Jessica Biel fans? The gay community? I don’t think any of them would be happy with this movie. Let’s start with the Adam Sandler fans. If you liked him in The Waterboyand Billy Madison, you probably didn’t like him in Punch-Drunk Loveor Spanglish. In Chuck & Larry, he does that slight stupid ‘accent’ or ‘lispy, little kid’ way of talking that made his character in The Waterboy, but he’s a himbo. He has some really good funny lines, but nothing out of the ordinary. To put it plainly, he’s boring.

Kevin James fans would be happy as he’s quite funny. Too bad the movie doesn’t really have a solid storyline. Jessica Biel fans will think she’s hot but that’s about it. I think the gay community would get a headache watching this movie, because they would constantly be rolling their eyes at every gay cliché thrown in; like ‘dropping the soap in the shower,’ ‘owning a Barbra Streisand album’ etc…and the ribbon on top to tie the whole movie together, having Lance Bass in a 10 second cameo (Oops! I spoiled the ending. Just kidding!).

I think you should wait for this movie to air on cable, and watch it ONLY if there aren’t any really good re-runs on. All the funny parts are in the trailer, and you can piece the rest together in your head. I can’t wait until it gets a Razzy nomination!
