Chuck Levine and Larry Valentine are two firefighters. They are good friends. However, Larry is a widower (with two small children) and Chuck is single.Larry dares Chuck one day to eat a dead rat, but he falls from the ladder that he was going to the drop the rat from. Chuck saves him but the two are rushed to the hospital and quickly recover. Larry calls in that favor big time when civic red tape prevents him from naming his two kids as his pension beneficiaries. All that Chuck has to do is claim to be Larry's domestic partner on some city forms. They think it will be easy because nobody will ever know. After Chuck agrees to the ruse (though reluctantly so, due in large part to his notorious womanizing), the two men go to Niagara Falls to get married, and Chuck moves in with Larry and his unsuspecting kids.But an official becomes suspicious, and the new couple's arrangement becomes a citywide issue and goes from confidential to front-page news. Forced to improvise as love-struck newlyweds, Chuck and Larry must now fumble through a charade of domestic bliss under one roof. After surviving their mandatory honeymoon and dodging the threat of exposure, the well-intentioned con men discover that sticking together in your time of need is what truly makes a family.

This is one of the first movies in 2007 that has actually had me in tears, at one point I had to bite by knuckles to avoid becoing annoying to other people sat around the cinema. To salvage a firefighters benefits package for his kids, a widowed New York firefighter has to ask his colleague, and no 1 friend (and incidentally a world class womaniser) to become his gay partner. The trouble is there is some doubt to the honesty of this partnership, and as investigations (by Steve Buschemi) start unearthing disrepancies, the two have to go further and further to prove they are actually an 'item' - including much to the disgust of Adam sandler, acually getting married. The whole thing is just hilarious for me, and had me doubled up for over half the film. If you want a film that should guarantee to make you laugh this has got to be close to the top of your list. Recomemended.

Talk about boffo! The media hasn’t quite figured out how big a star Kevin James is, but the American public is in no doubt. His sitcom The King of Queens has been a fixture at the top of the ratings for most of the last decade. His first movie vehicle was I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry with Adam Sandler. Most critics hated it, but it made $120 million in the US - a very good return for a comedy. You could attribute that success to Sandler, but not so with Paul Blart: Mall Cop, a PG & Read more
