Movie: I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
Lumière:
Heard of the movie?
Synopsis (from Hollywood.com) :
Chuck Levine and Larry Valentine are the pride of their fire station: two guy''s guys always side-by-side and willing to do anything for each other. Salt-of-the-earth widower Larry wants just one thing: to protect his family. His buddy Chuck also wants one thing: to enjoy the single life. Grateful Chuck owes Larry for saving his life in a fire, and Larry calls in that favor big time when civic red tape prevents him from naming his own two kids as his life insurance beneficiaries. All that Chuck has to do is claim to be Larry''s domestic partner on some city forms. Easy. Nobody will ever know. But when an overzealous, spot-checking bureaucrat becomes suspicious, the new couple''s arrangement becomes a citywide issue and goes from confidential to front-page news. Forced to improvise as love-struck newlyweds, Chuck and Larry must now fumble through a hilarious charade of domestic bliss under one roof. After surviving their mandatory honeymoon and dodging the threat of exposure, the well-intentioned con men discover that sticking together in your time of need is what truly makes a family.

I checked out the IMDB site for the film and some people there are offended by the whole idea, some into it, etc.
Although you can't judge a film before it comes out..
I am curious, anyone heard about it & who is going to go check it out? :)

I haven't heard about this movie Milli, which surprises me since it is to be released in about a week. It sounds like a cute movie. I'm heading over to IMDb right now to see what people are saying about it. Thanks for telling us Milli! :D

I saw the previews in the theatre when we went to see Harry Potter, and it looked kind of cute. But I hope its not simply vapid. It is a funny premise. Two guys that have to prove they are really gay and married. But we shall have to wait and see if its just another missed chance.
MaineWriter:
I just read this on a blog over on rottentomatoes.com:
It's 7-13-2007 and still no reviews of this film. I don't see this as a good sign. Various publications have deadlines to meet. Allowing a film to be reviewed in advance (e.g. more than one week ahead of the premier date) seems to be the industry standard.
I am going out on a limb here and predict this will be one of the worst reviewed films of the year.
Someone else said:
With Dennis Dugan at the director's helm, this flick will surely be crap.
Please realize these are just personal opinions, nothing official at all!

Just like it still baffles me when I read some IMDB posters going on about "movies like Brokeback being offensive to gay people.."
oh well.. to each his own..
