MPAA RATING: PG-13 for crude sexual content throughout, nudity, language and drug references
Starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Jessica Biel, Dan Aykroyd, Steve Buscemi, Ving Rhames, and Richard Chamberlain
Chuck and Larry are the pride of their fire station: tow guy's guys always side-by-side and willing to do anything for each other. Grateful Chuck owes Larry his life, and Larry, a widower, calls in that favor big time when civic red tape prevents him from naming his own two kids as his life insurance beneficiaries. All Chuck has to do is claim to be Larry's domestic partner on some city forms. Easy. Nobody will ever know. But when an overzealous, spot checking bureaucrat becomes suspicious, the new couple's arrangement becomes a citywide issue and goes form confidential to the front page news. (Universal Pictures)

Just saw this on dvd a couple of days ago. Just another typical hollywood crap that wants to push the gay agenda down everyones throat (pun intended)! The first 30-45 minutes wasn't bad but it got so uncomfortable and just stupid! Everyone keeps talking about all these groups being offended, well I am here to say that as a heterosexual guy, I am offended!! There is no way in hell any straight guy will do and go through all the things these guys did. NO MATTER WHAT!! The only reason I gave the movie a 3 was that there were a few laughs and that Jessica Beil was so hot! And so was all the other girls in it.

Oh, come on. The material was hilarious - I don't understand why the critics and users say that this movie had barely any laughs in it. Do I have to remind you of the "I'm Every Woman" part in the shower? Or Chuck binning gay trash? Or that creepy looking gay inspector throwing the basketball? This is all classic stuff and I'm sure gay people can laugh at it as well. It informed people about gay rights and how we should not treat a lot of queers the way some of us are and have been before this movie. This movie rocked, and those who did not find it funny need to get a sense of humour. Hell yeah!

This isn't even funny; and when you watch a comedy, don't you think you should laugh a little? I found this movie so... ridiculous, i really couldn't laugh at how bad it was. It's about these guys, who are fire fighters; one day Chuck rescues Larry from an almost death experience. Because Larry "owes him" for saving his life, Chuck asks Larry to pretend to be gay so he can get a pension for his kids. The two end up faking a gay relationship. On top of that, Chuck's kids even act gay. Skip the posistives, because there are none, and go to the negatives: 1. Sandler doesn't like to take his work seriously, therefore he takes "attention roles" that seem to reflect his personality with the movie; cheesy and wasteful. 2. No back bone, no story, what's the point of the movie? Overall, it's safe to say it's too gay for existence.

This was not so bad, usually I do not like Adam Sandler movies but this one, as far fetched as it was, had a few good lines. I do not think it is offensive as some of the other reviewers. Lighten up.
Any L gave it a10:
I thought it was funny, my roommate and I laughed the whole way through, and my roommate is asian and he was not offended by this movie. It was for fun, slapstick, fun comedy....were people expecting a classy drama? gee
Alex G gave it a9:
Bad Reviews??? surely not this is a brilliant film with some superb comedy acting, it may come across as homophobic and something a pre-teen would design but some of the humor goes beyond that in order to make it appealing to all age groups, perfect for anyone with a sense of humor
A. Nonymous gave it a0:
Crass, banal and incompetent. Typical Sandler trash. The only reason this movie received any good Crits was because it was jumping on the "Gay Rights" bandwagon, in an attempt to hide what was just an immature cheap shot at homosexual jokes.
