I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)



7.5/10

Good laughs, great message and an unusual format to deliver it in. “Chuck and Larry” not only takes a look at sexual discrimination and gay marriage, but also at the inadequacies of government systems. On another side it delves into friendship and how we can all be there for each other, no matter what is needed.

As usual Adam Sandler is great, he plays the tough brooklyn firefighter, who forfits a life of being mister February and getting more girls than anyone on the planet, to being the spokesman for gay marriage.

Kevin James was great in his role as the widowed Firefighter who will do what ever it takes to ensure his kids have a future, if he gets hurt or dies on the job.

Check out “I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry” if you are in the mood for a bunch of laughs, that come with a great message.

Two straight, single Brooklyn firefighters (Sandler, James) pretend to be a gay couple in order to receive domestic partner benefits.

The Big Lebowski (1998)


Rating: 9/10... Just watch it!

Coen Brothers Masterpiece.

Bowling, money, family feuds, a missing trophy wife and a rug that really ties it all together nicely!
This is the story of the Dude, one of the laziest men to ever grace the silver screen. A man so content with his life of bowling, smoking weed and drinking White Russians that many would consider him a wasteful bum; which I guess to a degree is exactly what he is, but a bum with principles all the same.
The Dude never wanted much, never had much - except a beat up old car, 2 good friends and a rug that really tied the room together. His life was going along just the way nature intended it too, until one day a simple mix up turned his life up side down...

Jeff bridges was masterful in his portrayal of “The Dude”, stepping away from his usual role of the all-American, mullet donning good guy with a letterman jacket and a dimple ridden grin, for a bath robe, dirty shorts and a goatee. He embodies the washed up hippy in a way that has rarely been seen before, and with such finesse that you begin to wonder, is this the real Jeff Bridges or his he simply a true master of his craft?

The big Lebowski is one of my all time favorite films, combining subtle comedy, insane characters and a web of deceit, all wrapped around the ultimate underdog, The Dude.
