[Movie 44 / Day 26]
Chuck and Larry are New York firemen who hit upon the idea of pretending to be gay in order to transfer Larry's benefits to Chuck in case the worst should happen and Larry should die in a fire. Lots of steretyping, but in a fun way. Not much in the way of big laughs, although there are one or two.
Most of the usual Adam Sandler suspects crop up in this Dennis Dougan helmed film (including an amusing cameo by Rob Schneider). It also features Dan Aykroyd (who steals most scenes he's in) and Ving Rhames though... And Kevin James, who, while he isn't as funny as he was in Hitch, is still a likeable chap. Sandler manages to come across as an arse for most of the film though - I'm assuming that's a side-effect of acting 'New York' though.
Highlights of the film are Jessica Biel in a Catwoman hotsuit and Jessica Biel stripping off to dry after getting caught in the rain. A downside to the movie is there isn't enough Jessica Biel.
It's OK, but it's no Happy Gilmore...
