Critic Reviews

  • David Ansen, Newsweek

    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.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    The premise is older than the pilot for Three's Company, and just as unfunny.

  • Joanne Kaufman, Wall Street Journal

    I 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.

  • Claudia Puig, USA Today

    With 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.

  • Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

    Chuck 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.

    Hilarious comedy about two bestfriends who get married to benefit from the work pension fund after one friend was widowed. It's funny from start to finish. Great cameos from lots of well known actors. Highly recommended.

  • Phil H


    Not as funny as I thought it could be, I love Kevin James ('The King of Queens' rocks) but this just isn't up there. Really wanted to love it but just found myself struggling to smile, as for Adam Sandler..his character is just the same as every other comedy character… More

    Audiences love when a fat fireman marries a skinny fireman due to money problems. Now who thought that was a good idea?

  • Jeff "


    I Know Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is one of the worst comedies I have seen in quite some. Starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James, this film is a missed opportunity to do something good. However the film has limitations, including a very bad script. Adam Sandler is no longer funny,… More

    Adam Sandler is back at his best, although the ending was predictable you couldn't help but laugh at the hilarious amount of scenes this film has. A must see!
