Review #10734 - Dated: 28th of February, 2014
Author: mizim |
Yes, there are plenty of jokes about being homosexual and similar in this movie, but it also aims at reminding you about tolerance and acceptance.
Gay jokes have always been staple of Adam Sandler comedies but in this movie the characters making homophobic remarks and jokes are seen as ignorant and unaware. Yes there are stereotypes present, though most of them are stereotypes that the characters believe to be true and it does have the characters learning to be more accepting of others. Most of the jokes that don't work in Chuck and Larry is because they just don't pace well.
The acting isn't anything amazing but everyone does a good enough job, Adam Sandler's usual friends pop up in the movie such as Rob Schneider popping in as the man who marries Chuck and Larry, and performs another marriage later on in the movie, his role though was rather annoying this time around and dragged on a bit too much. My favourite quote from the movie is "And most importantly, they showed us that no matter whom we choose to love, be they heterosexual, homosexual, asexual, bisexual, trisexual, quadrisexual, pansexual, transexual, omnisexual or that thing where the chick ties the belt around your neck and tinkles on a balloon, it has absolutely nothing to do with who we are as people."
Not hugely great but still a bit of fun with a good moral to the story.
