You can't always go with the pack though. For example, Terry Gilliam's Tideland rates a measly 29% and as far as I'm concerned it may well be his masterpiece.
I'm certainly not comparing the two films or saying Chuck & Larry might be a masterpiece, not at all, but sometimes the majority opininion, even from professional critics, can be misleading.

So far the SFs on this thread (myself included) are like "WTF?" about the boob-touch-request thing. And the GMs seem to be confirming that yes, it's pretty common.
So what is up with this?

Yeah, it sometimes happens Laura. It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen. But I have no idea why.

I have to agree with you on that. :)
I generally don't read critics' reviews .. rather prefer to decide for myself, but some are interesting to read.

Actually, one of the things I have come to love about the Internet is the ability to read multiple reviews. I can compare/contrast, find reviewers who I generally agree with, etc. Reading reviews for Chuck & Larry, they all more or less agree that Sandler & Co. are trying to convey a somewhat positive attitude towards gay marriage, negative attitude towards homophobia, and so on. What seems to be at issue is whether the movie is successful in doing this or not.

Not really. What this seems to have explained is that women with boob jobs like to show them off. I've had straight women friends drag me to bathrooms to show me their storeboughts and ecouraged all and sundry to touch them.
Felt like a silicon bag under warm skin ugggggggggggg :P
That still doesn't explain the standing there in one's panties.
