Wow

When Blades of Glory first appeared, I wondered how much of it would be offensive.

With Chuck and Larry, I wonder if any of it won’t be offensive.

The whole ‘pretending to be gay’ thing has been done before. This time we have Kevin James and Adam Sandler as two firefighters from New York who have to enter a Domestic Partnership in order to assure their pensions go to their kids. (The trailer doesn’t explain why this is and I can’t, for the life of me imagine what legal protections would be in place that is stronger under a DP law – but it’s probably not important).

You can get a tone of the movie when you see the ‘ceremony’, featuring a freakishly gay rabbi marrying them. He says you may now kiss the husband and, when Kevin James leans in, Adam Sandler slaps him.

After someone suggests their DP is not real, they get a lawyer who is – of course – amazingly attractive and who Sandler falls for. When she tells them the investigation should be easy, because they’re a real Domestic Partnership, Kevin James says “Oh yea, I’m a big fruit”.

On the other hand, I'm oddly excited for Evan Almighty.
