I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry

This is one example of a movie which looks awesomely funny in the trailer but disappoints once you see it.
That's the best way to sum up I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, starring Adam Sandler.
The basic concept, for those who don't know, is that Larry has failed to update his benefits to his children in the event of his death when his wife passed and is faced with his kids having no support should anything happen to him. Long story short he calls on his best mate Chuck (Sandler) whose life he saved during a fire fighting job to help out in an odd way.
He signs over his benefits to Chuck after declaring the two had formed a `domestic partnership'. They get investigated and are forced to pose as a gay couple.
I've got to say they went to some lengths to prove they were a couple and you're left wondering why. The Canadian wedding scene was one example.
Anyway there are laughs here but not as many as first thought. Jessica Biel is nice. I can't go any higher than a 6 out of 10.
