"I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" is just another example of how Adam Sandler is scraping the bottom of the barrel, as of late.
The downfall showed some signs with "Punch Drunk Love". "Anger Management" quelled these feelings, if just for only a little while. But after "50 First Dates" I started to realize it: This is the same exact movie as "The Wedding Singer"! Think about it. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore starring together, romantic comedy, slightly raunchy yet high-brow, Rob Schneider cameo. There's a formula to this shit.
Then came "Spanglish". Enough said.
After that came "The Longest Yard". No Drew Barrymore, but they decided to keep the Rob Schneider cameo for good measure. Now the shit really starts to hit the fan. "Click"? "CLICK"!? What the fuck was he thinking? "Reign Over Me"? A heart-warming tale about race relations in a post-9/11 climate co-starring Don Cheadle? Now they're just trying to fuck with me. This can't be happening.
Now we reach present day with "I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry". A movie about two dudes(Sandler and Kevin James) who get married in order to collect benefits for James' kids. It just seems so stupid, un-inspired, and ripped from the headlines-esque. It comes across as trying to jump aboard the cultural trend of the moment(gay marriage).
Let's just hope that he doesn't start to stoop to making sequels. Can you imagine "50 Second Dates" or "Nine Crazy Nights"?
