'I Now Pronounce You' Trailer Hints At A Fun, Fake-Gay-Husband-Beating Night At The Movies
In the off chance you haven't yet seen the trailer for I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, the meticulously field-researched comedy starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James as firemen forced into reenacting Boat Trip on land masquerading as a gay couple in order to receive their pensions, we invite you to feast your eyes on the two-minute teaser above. It's chock full of proven pink-scare comedy formulas (impending man-on-man kiss + hard blow to the face = guaranteed laughs), precocious children ("homosexicals"—mercy!), and some old fashioned ugly ethnic stereotyping thrown in for good measure, courtesy of an uncredited Rob Schneider as their Charlie Chan-channeling officiator. Still, while the trailer is cleverly edited to seem like another hack romcom in which the lead falls for the gorgeous female but is forced to pretend he's something he's not, we think the movie redeems itself when it's revealed at the end that [spoiler alert!] the entire sham marriage scenario was just Sandler's repressed character's convoluted way of indulging his deepest, bear-lusting desires.
