There is something to be said for a movie that may end up preaching, for a change, to the unconverted. If only the laughs were bigger, smarter and more frequent than they are.

Reviews for I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry
Top CriticThe premise is older than the pilot for Three’s Company, and just as unfunny.
07/23/07
Top CriticI Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry manages to insult gays, straights, men, women, children, African-Americans, Asians, pastors, mailmen, insurance adjusters, firemen, doctors -- and fans of show music. That's championship stuff.
07/20/07
Top CriticWith a tacked-on PC message and leaden attempts at humor, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is a movie that gives marriage, homosexuality, friendship, firefighters, children and nearly everything else a bad name.
07/20/07
Top CriticChuck and Larry remains something close to remarkable: an Adam Sandler movie that manages to be crude and caring in equal measure. In the multiplex, this is called progress.
07/20/07
Top CriticIf there were a Straight Lack-of-Pride Parade, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry could be the grand marshal. The movie isn't insulting to homosexuals but to comedy.
07/20/07
Top CriticDoes anybody laugh at this stuff anymore?
07/20/07
Top CriticIn the credits, the filmmakers acknowledge Brooklyn firefighters who died on 9/11. It's an honorable gesture, but what of the previous two hours? What of the scenes portraying firemen as cigar-chomping, homophobic, misogynistic chumps?
07/20/07
Top CriticThe sad thing is that this could have been really good.
07/20/07
Top CriticIn the spirit of uncivil unions, I now denounce you, Chuck & Larry.
07/20/07
Top CriticIt all boils down to a horrible waste of talent.
07/20/07
Top CriticThe movie is often stupid. But coming from an industry institutionally terrified of being honest about its own sexuality, it feels brave, going a step further than 'not that there's anything wrong with that.'
07/20/07
Top CriticAn equal-opportunity offender, slapping right wingers on the wrist while, much to said right wingers' expectations, reducing homosexuality to its lowest common denominators.
07/20/07
Top CriticSporadically funny, casually sexist, blithely racist and about as visually sophisticated as a parking-garage surveillance video.
07/20/07
Top CriticI Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry works hard at not being offensive. It just doesn't work hard enough at being good.
07/19/07
Top CriticThere are gags here that may be older than the film's stars.
07/19/07
Top CriticIf there's a saving grace, and there is, it's that the movie strives, in its often-awkward way, for acceptance. And how bad can that be?
07/19/07
Top CriticWhatever gay stereotypes exist in this movie -- and they probably number in the hundreds -- the writers of the comedy are much tougher on morbidly obese people, hot women, the homeless, mailmen, unattractive women and particularly Asians.
07/19/07
Top CriticNo comedy this year can beat this dud for mealy-mouthed hypocrisy.
07/19/07
Top CriticIf Dugan's crude, occasionally effective effort ends up chipping away at America's moron class regarding gay rights, that'll be nice. But even unrepentant homophobes deserve funnier.
