The movie poster for the Adam Sandler-Kevin James summer comedy "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" was unveiled this week. They play firefighters who pretend to be gay in order to receive domestic partner benefits. There is some concern that the film, which no one has seen yet, will make light of what is a very serious equal rights issue for gays and lesbians: same-gender marriage.
I share that concern but am optimistic that the movie will have a positive message in that regard given that Sandler is involved. His movie, "Big Daddy," had one of the best no-big-deal portrayals of a gay couple I've ever seen in a mainstream movie. At any rate, I plan to check it out!
