Funny in the juvenile, crass way we expect.

Variety
The kind of buddy comedy Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau might have starred in 40 years ago, when the material would have felt less dated, if no less silly.

It's a movie for the guys to watch on mute until Jessica Biel's scenes show up.

That's the problem about making movies nowadays; you know some **** out there are gonna get offended... for some reason. Seriously, you **** movie critics wrote your review 20 minutes into the movie and assumed it was offensive to gay people. On contrary, it's not. Plus, many of the actors that cameo in the movie are gay in real life so they're obviously fine with it: Lance Bass for example sings at the end. Sure, there are some rather crude gay jokes but hell, it's a movie; stop taking it so seriously. Why do you try to find every reason to piss yourself off? Chuck (Adam Sandler) admits at the end during the hearing that he is not gay and is aware that it was wrong and he hurt people. He also states that is not a nice word and that you shouldn't use it. Fred G. Duncan (Ving Rhames) comes out of the closet on Chuck and states he was inspired to be true to himself; concluding there's no use pretending to be someone your not. There's a lesson that underlies here... Chuck started off as a giant **** that was inconsiderate towards gay people. Then after going through experiences with them such as the Dress Up Party; after realising how the public discriminated against them, he began to develop a more appreciative concern towards them. He became more empathetic towards them; he stood up to the public for gay people. Larry (Kevin James) begins as an insecure fat guy that has trouble coping with the loss of his wife. Devising the idea of domestic partnership for his children, he begins to show he has trouble coping with the fake relationship with Chuck and is angered whenever Paula is mentioned or mocked. Towards the end of the film, he finally lets go and at the very end, he pursues another love. Amidst this comedy, the movie blossoms with life lessons; lessons that many dismiss in real life... and it's clear you professional critics are close-minded to any of this. I don't understand how this movie is offensive to people. DID PEOPLE EVEN WATCH THE DAMN MOVIE? DID THEY PAY ATTENTION OR DID THEY JUST PHASE OUT, SEE GAY THINGS HAPPENING AND ASSUME "OH MY GOD, THIS MOVIE OFFENDS ME!!"? If anything, this movie is an accidental masterpiece of humour, morals and deep insights.

The troubling thing about "Chuck & Larry" is the hypocrisy. It's a comedy that ridicules the people it's supposed to be championing.

The film is half rutting goat, half preacher.

Plays like some uninformed seventh-grader's view of gay men.

So go on, pay your ten bucks and get your hate on.

Comedy that seems designed to be as bad as it can be.

This is a pretty odd movie. I kind of liked the plot, not that it's any inspiring in some way, but I also liked the two leads, Kevin James and Adam Sandler which I feel experiment plenty of chemistry. A lot of the crude humor can be annoying I can tell by that, but, despite its flaws, it's not bad. I watched it because I support the LGBTQ community.

An ok movie. Pretends to be gay so his friend won't lose everything. Then uses it to get closer to Jessica Beal.

I Now Pronounce You Cheesy and Lazy. To begin with, the premise of the movie is barely ethical and really illogical. The writing is poor, the jokes are purely stereotypes that soon get old. The acting is so-so, and the movie is not entertaining.

A film with a very mixed message that comes off humorless. This is another Adam Sandler disaster he needs to call Paul Thomas Anderson and see if he can save his career.
