I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry Loved it ***** (Five Stars)

Ladies and Gentlemen
Adam Sandler is back, in his funniest and yet one of his most honest films in the last few years. He has always been comfortable with his gay or fem side bringing it into most all of his sketches.

Yes as for the gay community is concerned this film is full of stereotypes and gay cliches however it was done in such a tasteful and fun way that you easily overlook what is being said and begin to realize this is actually a pro gay film.  For Example:  In the beginning
Adam Sandler (Chuck Levine) is a homophobic, womanizing male slut.  A man who often uses the word Faggot.  However by the end of the film he is punching pastors in the face for calling him a faggot.  He started off being ashamed to pretend to be gay, to being gay and proud. 

This is not only a film bringing attention to gay marriage and homophobia, but it also brings a message of brotherly love and going to the ends of the earth for those you care about.  Forget the fact that he had to get married for a stupid reason about his pension or whatever, I'm just glad that they did.  Ps - am I a chubby chaser, because I think
Kevin James (Larry Valentine) is so freaking adorable.  I have secretly been in love with him since seeing him on the TV show The King of Queens.

I have to admit my favorite scene is when the extremely butch and super intimidating muscle man
Ving Rhames (most famous from his role in Mission: Impossible III), confesses to Chuck that he too is gay, and thanks them for living thier life out in the open making him more comfortable to love himself.  It was also great to see some cameos from some famous faces out and proud in our gay community.  Such as the extremely gorgeous Richard Chamberlain (Councelmen Banks),  and the recently outted pop singer Lance Bass (Wedding Singer.)

Go see this movie, I'm sure you will love it as well.  Yes it forces you to laugh at gayness, however that is the back door into gay acceptance.  And you will find yourself coming out of the theater with a big smile on your face, and a song in your heart.
