Sandler to Stereotype?
August 24, 2006
Kevin James ("The King of Queens") and Adam Sandler (Happy Gilmore, etc.) are set to star in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry -- a new movie about two straight firefighters who, in order to get domestic partnership benefits, pose as a gay couple. Steve Buscemi has signed on to play the city worker who tries to expose the fraud and Dan Akroyd will play the fire chief.
O-K. So, we kinda know where this is going already. There will be at least a few jokes about who's "the woman," probably a make-over scene where somebody puts on better shoes, and they'll have to kiss at some point. And that's what all the interviews will be about. "Hey, what was it like to kiss another man?"
Of course, the movie isn't even in production yet so it's a bit early to get too riled up. But remember Boat Trip? The Cuba Gooding Jr. farce about two straight guys who get stuck on a gay cruise and, in order to date the female dancing instructor, pretend to … yeah. Nobody saw it but us, and we only got through the first few minutes.
So, we’re going to wait this one out. It’s only fair. Perhaps there will be at least one gay person involved to talk some sense into the whole thing.

Even though I happen to not be a fan of Adam Sandler's movies, I do feel that I have to come to his defense. He is a big friend of the gay community, and has actually been vocal about his support for gay marriage. In his movie, Big Daddy, his two best friends were a gay couple ( a very positive representation, I might add). In the movie, He tells them that he supports their right to get married. Bravo!
Considering that his fan base are hetero youn men, I commend him for being so supportive and outspoken. I have every faith that the movie will be positive.
