I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (DVD)

...with the beautiful lawyer? I am not the biggest fan of Adam Sandler and his films; whereas none of them are totally unwatchable, a number of them are distinctly average and not worth more than a quick glance. However, in the mood for something light-hearted, and finding this DVD in Asda for just £2, I succumbed. As far as Sandler is concerned, this is a fairly standard role for him. As Chuck, he is perfectly likeable, despite some rather dubious ...
...the DVD was Kevin James. I really enjoy watching him on screen; I thought he was superb in King of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond, and I've enjoyed him in Hitch and, more recently, Paul Blart. Like Sandler, he always tends to play the same role - a likeable loser who has very little luck with the ladies - and that is exactly what Larry is. I still enjoyed his performance though. There is a huge amount of humour surrounding the fact that he is ...

Review of I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (DVD)

- Introduction - I had seen a trailer at the cinema last year for this movie and was interested in it because Kevin James is in it. He's probably best known as Doug in the sitcom 'King of Queens', which is one of my favourite US sitcoms. He also appeared in the romantic comedy Hitch, along side Will Smith. I also quite enjoyed a few of Adam Sandlers movies (I've alread reviewed 'Happy Gilmore' here on Ciao, if anyone's interested *ahem* sorry for ...
...story seemed pretty daft and I wasn't sure it was something I'd really want to pay to see on the big screen, I decided to wait and check it out on DVD. When I signed up to the Amazon unlimited DVD rental scheme, this was one of the first movies that I added to my rental list. I was very lucky actually, as it only just came out on DVD on Monday (14th January 08) and I was sent it by the end of the week, so I was able to watch it last night. I must ...

Review of I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (DVD)

I rented this movie today after college, and whilst I was in the shop with my nan and we were trying to choose between this and a random chick flick, I had never heard anything about the chick flick, and said you can never go wrong with an Adam Sandler film so that is how we started watching it, like you really care. Now for the decent stuff. ===PLOT=== Adam Sandler and Kevin James play two New York Fire-fighters. Larry (James) is still suffering ...
...is a typical Adam Sandler. I know some people can't stand him, his jokes are not for everyone's taste but I myself love the fact that you know that his films are always gonna bring you laughs and have a good ending. ===GAY JOKES=== Even though through the film, they bring in some very stereotypical gays that could be quite offensive. I know some of the jokes made me wince every now and then, but over all I think it was done tastefully and there's ...

Review of I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (DVD)

...I've no feelings either way, I liked The Wedding Singer but find most of his stuff I can take a pass on. I Now Prounonce You Chuck & Larry was originally slated to be directed by David Dobkin, fresh off the big money taker Wedding Crashers. I can only assume he saw where this was going and decided to pass. Larry (Kevin James) is a big lug of a fireman whose wife passed away leaving him with two kids. When it looks like his benefits are going down ...
...a closet gay man. I also saw the whole crux of the film about Larry not being able to get benefits from the death of his wife was pretty slim, it felt like a simple scene thrown in without any real weight just to set up this whole tepid affair. - The DVD - I've read that this was shot on HD and the quality of the picture is as good as you'd expect. It looks like film that makes it a good call for studios to ditch the celluloid. The Dolby soundtrack ...

Review of I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (DVD)

As I like Adam Sandler as an actor I really wanted to see this film, what put me off was the fact that the last few of his films I have seem have been a bit disappointing but eventually I took the plunge and sat and watched it. The film stars Adam Sandler who plays Chuck and Kevin James who plays Larry. The men are best of friends and work together as firemen. At the start of the film we learn that Larry has lost his wife and is struggling to bring ...
...away from the women? I am pleased that I finally took the time to watch this as Adam is back at playing the comedy role very well. His character was very good and Kevin James also did his part justice and the two actors worked very well together and made their onscreen friendship very real. The story was very good if not a bit far fetched at times but this did add to the humour of the film. The supporting actors also added some more depth to the ...

Review of I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (DVD)

So over the holiday period I watched a lot of films mainly family types or sad films but I think it has been too long since I watched a half decent comedy. So, being a comedy fan of the likes of Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler I give them a chance usually. I had watched 'The Heartbreak Kid' by Ben Stiller as I reviewed previously but was not impressed so I decided to leave it up to Adam Sandler for a few laughs. My friends had gone to see 'I Now Pronounce ...
...was funny but I wasn't sure whether to trust them. However, I did and got the film and decided to give it a try as it couldn't hurt really. The film literally just came out on DVD so I had waited this long to see it. The film begins with us meeting Chuck & Larry who work as fire fighters in New York. Chuck (Adam Sandler) is a bit of a ladies man whereas his best friend Larry (Kevin James) is a father who is bringing up two children after his wife ...

Review of I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (DVD)

...had a pretty tough week I decided to having a relaxing night in and watch whatever was the premier on Sky Movies. The film of choice just happened to be 'I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry'. I held out absolutely no hope for it being any good because I have always found Sandler films to be very variable in standard but really wanted a no-brainer and a few giggles. Ok enough about why I watched it and more about the actual film.. Larry Valentine ...
...bizarre wedding set up which I will not spoil for you by explaining! The film is all set up for chaos as the pair are 'outed' to everyone as they try their best to manage to maintain the facade in order to avoid imprisonment. Two notable things in the film are a typically oddball cameo from Steve Buscemi who plays Clinton Fitzer, the benefit fraud specialist and a jaw dropping scene for any red-blooded male involving Jessica Biel going into her ...

Review of I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (DVD)

...devoid of verbal tomfoolery. I usually come out of Adam Sandler movies hating myself for liking him more than I should. This time I came out just hating Sandler. As Chuck he's sexist, homophobic, loud, crass and insensitive. So it's virtually impossible to empathise with the character. He's not even funny as the increasingly lardy comedian's timing is way off. He has no chemistry with one-screen love interest Jessica Biel and even less with supposed ...
...you are assailed by "All I Need is the Air that I Breathe" and "You Were Always on my Mind" for Chuck and Larry at work and during the accident. "Dancing Queen" and "Groove is in the Heart" turn up at a gay Halloween ball. "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" characterise Chuck and Alex's relationship. "High and Dry" and "Follow You, Follow Me" show the breakdown of the scam. "Under Pressure" turns up for a court appearance ...

Review of I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (DVD)

...a couple of weeks ago I have near enough daily trawled through the film listings and recorded any films that have taken my fancy so that I can watch them at my leisure. Last night finding the downstairs TV vacant and myself with nothing much to do I decided that I would watch one of my recorded films. The one I chose was 'I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry'. My reasons behind recording this film are very simple indeed; I enjoy Adam Sandler's films. ...
...film and on the whole I must say that it delivered. 'I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry' was released in 2007 and stars Adam Sandler and Kevin James in the title roles of Chuck and Larry. The film is ultimately a comedy but does within it contain a few moral(ish) messages that make the film at times rather touching. Larry is a New York fireman, as is his best friend Chuck who since the death of his wife three years earlier has been Larry's rock. ...

Review of I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (DVD)

...(Big Daddy) My Experience I used to be a huge Adam Sandler fan but the last few years haven't been his best or his funniest, the last film I watched him was Reign Over Me (which he was great in but it's a serious movie) and before that the totally horrendous Click (which was described as a comedy but the only thing I found funny about it was that it had got released in the first place). So when my other half announced he wanted to watch this one ...
...and now I'm very pleased I did. Ok the story line isn't the best, it's also a bit of a slow starter but it is hilarious, it's the first film that's made me laugh out loud in such a long time. And once the laughs begin they come pretty fast after that. The acting is quite good, although the story doesn't really call for a wide range of emotions but Dan Aykroydd is his usual brilliant self. And I didn't really feel the chemistry between Sandler and ...

Review of I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (DVD)

I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (rated 15), stars Adam Sandler and Kevin James (released in 2008). This comedy was actually a really good buy if like me you only spent a quid on it in your local supermarket bargain bin. It's about these two guys, Chuck and Larry (Sandler and James), who are fireman and who do everything together. Adam Sandlers character really annoyed me in this movie for some reason, although I normally find his characters really ...
...and I think the overly butch and often sexist behaviour is intended to contrast the drastic change of heart he later has when he really does fall in love (oops hope I am not giving too much away). One of them saving the other ones life results in the cashing in of a favour that changes both their lives drastically. Both straight guys eventually end up getting hitched in an attempt to bypass a silly rule of an insurance company. (I know sounds a bit ...

Omg! What a FANTASTIC film by Kevin James and Adam Sandler. There are some great actors in this film including most of the cast from on of Adam Sandlers' previous films ' WATERBOY '. Also from King of Queens Doug's cousin Danny. (sorry I am rubbish with actual names). This film is the funniest film I've ever seen. I'm not going to give away the story line because this is really something you should see for yourselves. Let's just say... I laughed so hard my stomach cramped up. A MUST SEE this year! ...

Review of I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (DVD)

I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry is the story Chuck (Adam Sandler) & Larry (Kevin James). Larry is a widower with two kids to take care of, his tomboy daughter Tori & his very feminine son Eric. After the untimely death of his wife Larry forgets to change the beneficiary of his pension from his wife to his two children within the deadline. The only thing that Larry can come up with is that if he marries someone then his pension will be safe, however ...
...not actually funny at all, I don't remember laughing throughout the entire film & Adam Sandler is one of those actors that can make me laugh out loud & has done in many of his previous films. I was really looking forward to watching this as I am a huge fan of his but was very disappointed with the end result. This film is nothing but homophobic & unfunny. This is one of Sandler's worst films to date & after watching it once I sold it on eBay for ...

A comedy with heart and a message for everyone, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is the must see comedy of 2007. I highly recommend it if you are a comedy fan and like the quirkiness of Sandler's usual style of humour. A great watch! ...

Review of I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (DVD)

This is a funny film, I have heard there has been a lot of complaints about it, and I can see why. I like Adam Sandler and he took a great part in the film. Adam Sandler is Chuck and his Friend Larry are both fire fighters and Chuck has a never on fatal fall and Larry saves him. I is about two friends and Adam Sandler is saved by his friend, sadly his friends wife died and left him with a young child, and his child to have to his money. Larry was ...
...The ending is good, but, I can't tell you otherwise you wont watch it, they have to go to court in the end And stand up in court. The film all in all is very very good and a laugh, but, the complaints about this on the Gay side, I can see why, it is very cut and dry and I can see they it has had some bad write ups. It is a good film though and I would recommend you watch it. ...
