I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: For the most part, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry plods along predictably, well-intentioned but only sporadically entertaining. Read more
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: If Dugan's crude, occasionally effective effort ends up chipping away at America's moron class regarding gay rights, that'll be nice. But even unrepentant homophobes deserve funnier. Read more
Manohla Dargis, New York Times: Sporadically funny, casually sexist, blithely racist and about as visually sophisticated as a parking-garage surveillance video. Read more
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: For every stale homophobic joke there's a sheepish nod to political correctness, and just to be safe director Dennis Dugan plays the firefighter card at every opportunity. Read more
Joanne Kaufman, Wall Street Journal: I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry manages to insult gays, straights, men, women, children, African-Americans, Asians, pastors, mailmen, insurance adjusters, firemen, doctors -- and fans of show music. That's championship stuff. Read more
Scott Tobias, AV Club: Good intentions can only carry these films so far, and this one falls woefully short. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: If there's a saving grace, and there is, it's that the movie strives, in its often-awkward way, for acceptance. And how bad can that be? Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: The movie is often stupid. But coming from an industry institutionally terrified of being honest about its own sexuality, it feels brave, going a step further than 'not that there's anything wrong with that.' Read more
Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times: There are gags here that may be older than the film's stars. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: In the credits, the filmmakers acknowledge Brooklyn firefighters who died on 9/11. It's an honorable gesture, but what of the previous two hours? What of the scenes portraying firemen as cigar-chomping, homophobic, misogynistic chumps? Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: Adam Sandler and Kevin James play courageous Brooklyn firefighters and best friends in this comedy that seems designed to be as bad as it can be. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: In the spirit of uncivil unions, I now denounce you, Chuck & Larry. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: This is indeed an equal opportunity movie. But it's also a movie that beats its one joke into the ground. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: This movie encourages sensitivity by hitting everyone over the head with its humor hammer. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: The sad thing is that this could have been really good. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: They go at it with such beguiling gusto and heart that I totally bought the movie's dust-covered message about the primacy of friendship over sexual preference. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: The picture delivers 90 minutes of gay caricatures, along with a barrage of fat jokes, and culminates by lecturing the audience about how wrong it is to mock those who are different. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: Does anybody laugh at this stuff anymore? Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: If there were a Straight Lack-of-Pride Parade, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry could be the grand marshal. The movie isn't insulting to homosexuals but to comedy. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry is a pretend-to-be-gay firefighter's farce that is entirely too stupid and crude to tote its alleged 'message' about tolerance through the flames to safety. Read more
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer: I feel compelled to apologize about laughing at Chuck and Larry, like many Sandler films less a movie than a fistful of funny moments. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: It's a shock to the system when this example of puerile comedy turns into a pulpit-pounding sermon. The film's sledgehammer approach makes it more immature than earnest. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry works hard at not being offensive. It just doesn't work hard enough at being good. Read more
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: Whatever gay stereotypes exist in this movie -- and they probably number in the hundreds -- the writers of the comedy are much tougher on morbidly obese people, hot women, the homeless, mailmen, unattractive women and particularly Asians. Read more
Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun-Times: It all boils down to a horrible waste of talent. Read more
Kamal Al-Solaylee, Globe and Mail: An equal-opportunity offender, slapping right wingers on the wrist while, much to said right wingers' expectations, reducing homosexuality to its lowest common denominators. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Chuck and Larry remains something close to remarkable: an Adam Sandler movie that manages to be crude and caring in equal measure. In the multiplex, this is called progress. Read more
Melissa Anderson, Time Out: Chuck & Larry wants it both ways, indulging in ass obsession and the lamest queer stereotypes since Franklin Pangborn was in short pants, then hoisting the rainbow flag at half-mast in a panicky cry for tolerance. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: With a tacked-on PC message and leaden attempts at humor, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is a movie that gives marriage, homosexuality, friendship, firefighters, children and nearly everything else a bad name. Read more
Nathan Lee, Village Voice: Tremendously savvy in its stupid way, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is as eloquent as Brokeback Mountain, and even more radical. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Essentially, Chuck & Larry is an oafish chance for audiences to laugh at gay-bashing jokes and then feel morally redeemed for doing so. Read more
