Adam Sandler
A man who can be capable of comedy yet isn't. When you think of him, what comes up?
Gross out humor? Product placements? SNL?
Yes, indeed, he is associated with all of this things. But, would you imagine him and Kevin James (ugh) both tackling the harsh realities of homophobia. No one does. They aren't even fit for that anyways.
Too bad, they believe so. Which gave us the atrocity of " I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry." This movie is about two "respectable" firefighters posing as a gay couple for insurance stuff. As expected, this is an offensive mess (including fat jokes, homophobic slurs, and Rob playing as a Japanese-Canadian pastor *gag*). Weirdly, you can tell that they're trying to teach a lesson about prejudice. The way they do it is quite right. The way it's teaching it's anti-prejudice lesson is just the movie "Radio", having a majority (in this case, a straight guy) saving a minority (LGBT+). Along with that, when a lesson is taught it's automatically ruined by an offensive joke or stereotype. For example, when a tough/scary firefighter came out to Larry, it could've been an emotional moment, but it was ruined by the gay firefighter displaying a gay stereotype. The movie is trying to teach the Happy Madison audience about the stuff LGBT+ people face. It is the same as sailor-mouthed parents constantly tell their child to stop cursing ( BTW, if you don't get my metaphor, it teaches a life lesson yet, contradicts itself with including offensive jokes about that lesson).
Rating: 0-1 stars (it's in between)
