I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
(USA, 2007, 115 minutes)
Two straight New York firefighters, a widower and a ladies’ man, pose as a gay couple for the widower’s children to benefit from their pensions, but become unlikely gay heroes when the City Hall begins to investigate them. Boisterous but sweet star comedy that plays with fire in such an amiable way that it never gets burned, more due to the scripting and acting than to the non-descript handling.
Universal Pictures presents, in association with Relativity Media, a Shady Acres Entertainment/Happy Madison Productions production. Starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Jessica Biel, Ving Rhames, Nick Swardson; with Steve Buscemi; and Dan Aykroyd. Directed by Dennis Dugan; produced by Adam Sandler, Jack Giarraputo, Tom Shadyac, Michael Bostick; written by Barry Fanaro, Alexander Payne, Jim Taylor; music by Rupert Gregson-Williams; director of photography (DeLuxe), Dean Semler; production designer, Perry Andelin Blake; costume designer, Ellen Lutter; film editor, Jeff Gourson.
