“I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” is comedy starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James as two New York firefighters that have been best friends since they were growing up together in Brooklyn. Chuck (Sandler) is a ferocious womanizer while Larry (James) is widower that is struggling to raise a daughter and an effeminate son who acts in a slightly disappointing manner to Larry though he loves him. Following a terrible accident in which both Chuck and Larry are seriously injured, Larry becomes concerned about the welfare of his two children if he died in the line of duty. Though it takes a lot of convincing Chuck eventually agrees to help Larry out by entering into a fraudulent gay marriage in order for Chuck to become the primary beneficiary for Larry’s kids. They enlist the help of a lawyer (Jessica Biel) to help defend their marriage. They attempt to keep their marriage quiet and away from their fellow firefighters but after a fight outside of gay costume party involving protesters, it’s impossible to hide it. Chuck and Larry are shunned by their co-workers and hounded by city fraud detection agent (Steve Buscemi) who is determined to uncover their lie. Outside of helping another firefighter (Ving Rhames) come out to his parents, Chuck and Larry’s relationship becomes strained due to the pressure of keeping the truth from being discovered. Only after there is a petition to have the two transferred from the firehouse do they begin to reconcile and realize the persecution that many homosexuals deal with on a daily basis. Chuck’s womanizing past causes their marriage to be tried to prove its legitimacy and just as they are about to kiss their chief (Dan Aykroyd) reveals their hoax but offers himself as an accomplice who should also be arrested. Their fellow firefighters also offer themselves as accomplices and through they are all arrested, an agreement to appear in an AIDS benefit calendar allows them to have their sentences dropped.
