I just finished watching the latest Happy Madison production, ‘I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry.’  Its a funny comedy about to New York Firefighters that pretend to be gay, get married to protect one of the partners children’s benefits.

The reason is a little flimsy, but the film is funny as it walks through one stereotype after another dropping the audience into one ludicrously funny and painful situation after another.

As a whole, the movie was not a funny movie, but paradoxically I laughed all the way through it.  All of those painful situations were burst out loud funny, but never really seemed to pull the movie together despite some great acting from most of the cast.

I think almost every primary and supporting character in the movie each had one or more terrific scenes that on their own were stand out performance, but something about the movie just couldn’t quite seem to pull it together for me, and maybe in an artsy fartsy way, that was the point. 

The concept wasn’t supposed to be able to hold itself together in the movie, as a hearing loomed to prove that they weren’t gay and in doing so, it kind of proved that the movie couldn’t hold itself together and in doing so the movie held itself together.

Damn, I’m so humoristically confused after that movie, that I’m going to have to sit down and watch Eddie Murphy Raw a couple times, while reading George Carlin books.

Note to self, apparently exfoliation acne treatments are gay, who knew.  Apparently also a great deal of some of my favorite music is gay also.  (well I guess I knew that all along)
