What groups should feel insulted by Chuck and Larry?
The following groups were insulted by last weekend's number one movie:
Gays,
Lesbians,
Asians,
Asians, again,
Religious People,
Women,
Firemen,
Hell, even just plain old regular men,
-and most importantly-
People who believe comedies are supposed to be funny.
The sheer unfunniness I Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is so great, that I almost wonder if all the really great comedy script writers have decided to work for Judd Aptow.
The movie makes the horrendous mistake of thinking that a homosexual man is, by nature, a woman. Female. For instance, the movie frequently plays the Whitney Houston song, I'm Every Woman - a song which gay impersonators Sandler, Kevin James, and an actual gay fireman played by Ving Rhames sing in order to make their hetero co-workers feel uncomfortable. But the worst part happens, when, in an attempt to dupe a civil servant, Sandler and James visit a grocery store in order to buy items that will make them look gay. This lame sit-com premise alone is enough to enduce an aneurysm, but when James suggests to Sandler that they buy a box of tampons, I was almost ready to jam Pilot V-Ball ink-pen through my eyes.
$34.2 million dollars. If a plumber tried to sell raw sewage for millions of dollars, he would be laughed out of town, but Hollywood manages to do just that waaay to often.
