Goofs:
Factual errors: The scene where Chuck and Larry extinguish a fire at a diner caused by an employee smoking marijuana, Chuck uses a fire extinguisher to spray that employee in the face. The extinguisher has a cone shaped nozzle which is indicative of a carbon dioxide extinguisher. This type does not leave any residue like in this scene which leaves a bunch of powder. more

Much Better Than I Thought!, 7 December 2008
8/10
Author: g-bodyl from United States

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is a typical, funny movie starring Adam Sandler. I think critics don't like this movie because Adam Sandler has a kind of humor that most people don't have. Get used to it folks! The story is about two firemen who are "gay" because one fireman, Larry needed benefits to support his children. The story is mildly interesting. I am not a fan of gay jokes except when Adam Sandler is a main character and movies with plots like this. The acting overall is not too shabby. Believe it or not, Ving Rhames cracked me up the most as a fireman who seems as if he was going to go on a murder spree. Dan Aykroyd was hilarious as well as the rest of the cast that features Sandler, Kevin James, and Steve Buscemi. I really did not like Jessica Biel. She was very childish in this movie. Overall, this is a funny movie, not something to offend gay people. I rate this movie 8/10.
