Are you fresh out of homosexual propaganda? Have you forgotten some of your gay terms or become insensitive to the benefits of embracing homosexuality as an equal alternative to heterosexual marriage?
If so, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry will replenish your gray matter with everything the Left wants you to know about loving the world of sodomy. Under the guise of comedy (and there are some funny lines), Universal Pictures and Director Dennis Dugan are now bringing audiences two hours and twenty minutes’ worth of gay party-line preaching.
Like similar movies such as My Best Friend’s Wedding, Boat Trip, and Brokeback Mountain, I Now Pronounce You . . . features popular, credible, often handsome, mostly heterosexual stars to pipe in the filmmakers’ message and attempt to legitimize homosexual practices with mainstream America.
Fireman Larry Valentine (Kevin James) is desperate to find a way to have his medical and death benefits go to someone he trusts, so that his children will be taken care of should he die. As Larry’s wife has been dead for three years, and as he’s having a terrible time getting paperwork filed in New York, someone suggests that a quick way to make everything happen is to get married.
Since there are no women in his life, Larry turns to his best friend, firefighter and kinky womanizer Chuck Levine (Adam Sandler), who owes him a favor since Larry saved his life in a fire. Reluctantly, Chuck agrees to feign a domestic partnership, and the two move in together and pretend—before all the right parties—that they’re gay. Well, that isn’t enough for the weasely inspector Clinton Fitzer (Steve Buscemi), whose scrutiny of the couple’s trash doesn’t look gay enough. So, at the encouragement of their beautiful lawyer, Alex McDonough (Jessica Biel), Chuck and Larry decide to make it official by getting married.
They find a sleazy place in Las Vegas and have a Jewish-gay wedding ceremony, witnessed by a homeless man (Blake Clark) who happens to be an expert Hebraic dancer, and then they go back to life as usual at the fire station. The problem is, the guys at the station have caught wind of their buddy’s new relationship, and they back away from the guys quickly. They’re even afraid to pick up their soap in the shower. Only the fire chief, Captain Tucker (Dan Aykroyd) sees through the charade and has to make a decision about whether or not to blow the whistle.

Wow. I'm a little embarassed and ashamed as a Christian to see a Christian review diminish the left's (the political side to which I belong) desire for equal rights for everyone down to "loving the world of sodomy."
Why is it that under the guise of the Word of God that so many people make it sound like homosexuality is just a preferred method of sex and not made of the the same kind of intrinsic feelings that heterosexuality is.
I haven't seen Chuck and Larry--not a huge Sandler fan. But you demean other Christians when you imply that this film is a piece of propaganda or that a person's sexuality is something that they just pick up because they're bored with sleeping with the gender they're 'supposed to.'
Incidentally, divorce is also something the Bible says is wrong. Yet many movies feature divorced couples. I hope that your critique of the values therein are equally as scathing.

Fact: I was a homosexual (or someone with "same sex attractions") or whatever you want to call it. I HATED myself. I HATED men and I was very jealous of them! Yet I lusted and was attracted to men sexually. Does that make any sense to any of you? NO! Does that sound like someone who is spiritually whole and sound? NO! I remember when I first "came out of the closet" and embraced my homosexuality. I was thrilled and I felt like I was finally the person I was always suppose to be because as far back as I could remember, I was very feminine. I was close to my mother and had a distant father. I thought my mother was a superhero because she always saved me from my father's rages, etc. So I ruined a 15 year relationship with my wife (yes I was married and I called myself a Christian) to be with men. I have since realized through therapy that I was one messed up dude. My gayism was the catalyst that got me the help I needed both mentally and emotionally to become healthy minded.

I've been in church my entire life, southern Baptist no less, and I'm here to tell you, thats a fairly accurate description of most everyone I've met that *claims the faith.* Christians are the most hateful people I've ever known, especially true Sunday church-goers. As far as being small minded, most simply believe what their pastor tells them to, the pastor believes what Seminary brainwashed him to believe, and so on and so forth. Yes, in short, they are small minded.
Maybe we should do something about it instead of blasting those who reveal our true identities.
As far as the movie, funny as hell. Period. Is being gay wrong? No! Partaking in homosexual activity, and living the lifestyle, yeah, that is. However it's not our place to blast them. We are called to LOVE them, something the reviewer obviously fails at.
