“I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” Is an Attractive Movie

Adam Sandler’s latest comedy, “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” has evidently touched the gay-couple marriages theme, which is not such an interesting issue for politicians and not even for common straight people. The American gay people are legally and officially allowed to marry one each other only in Massachusetts, although the United States of America represents the country of freedom.
Anyway, comedian Adam Sandler’s latest comedy proves that although people are not very willing to talk about gays and to give them the right of marriage, in the same way they don’t seem to be shy in watching a movie about two men exchanging their marriage symbolic rings.
“I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” debuted at the Number 1 position last week, with North American sales at the box office of about $34.2 million. This important amount of money shows that people have really enjoyed the comedy, and haven’t been scared by its gay theme.
Although Adam Sandler couldn’t be called a social crusader his movies are always focusing on some serious problems that the human society is experiencing. This is also the case of this latest funny comedy, which transmits in the end a message that focuses on the importance of the social acceptance of the gay people. Sandler’s way of making people laugh but then realize the seriousness of the issue is great, as the method attracts people, makes them feel good and then even determines them to be better persons, or at least make them think about it.
Although the comedy evidently features some anti-gay slurs and stereotypes, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance against Defamation has accepted the movie after being invited to consult. The Alliance seems to have understood Sandler’s way of trying to make people realize they could easily make interpretation mistakes.
All in all, “I Now Pronounce Chuck and Larry” is a successful comedy that focuses also on a serious issue. Its message is socially positive and the fact that people are going in the cinemas to watch the comedy is great thing!
