First, let me state my qualifications to review a movie starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James:
Now for my review...
Firstly, nearly all of the funny parts of this movie were revealed in the trailers.
Secondly, Jessica Biel is worth the price of admission.
I am not one of those people that requires a movie with a plot, as long a film makes me laugh. This movie made me laugh, but not nearly enough to make up for a script that is nothing more than a promotion for tolerance. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but beyond a couple of laughs, and seeing Jessica Biel wearing next to nothing... this film misses the mark on all accounts.
Adam Sandler only agrees to this ruse because Kevin James saved his life, and he promises that this arrangement is only on paper, nobody will question it. Obviously people question it, and they have to move in together. This brings up another big flaw in the film. Adam Sandler is very hesitant to the initial proposal, even when promised that nobody will find out. One would think, that Adam Sandler's character would have had a bigger problem when he finds out that he has to move in with Chuck, right?
I won't even get started on my diatribe about the ending. Let's just say that nobody should have to sit through it.
Simply stated, the story line in this movie was lost in the message that it's okay to be gay. Would it have been too much to ask to have both?
I hate to say that, but if you've seen it, I am sure that you will agree.
Maybe I'll like it better when it comes out on video, which I would bet will be very soon!
