I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry reminded me of an episode of the Love Boat in the 1980s.  After yet another romantic disappointment, a lady decides that she had it with men. She meets a notorious womanizer on the boat. To get the woman “into the sack”, the gigolo plays the role of a man who claims that he also never wants to start a new relationship. To make their commitment to abstinence even stronger, the womanizer proposes after a few encounters that they should sleep in the same bed andprove to themselves that they are capable of foregoing sex.  The lady agrees, but her hand reaches over to his side of the bed before longThe next morning the love boat has a new romantic pair. Back to Chuck & Larry.  Chucks wife has died and he no longer is entitled to spousal benefits from the City of New York, which would help his children in case he would also die. Chuck asks his womanizing best fried to pretend that he is his domestic partner.

To keep up the pretense after the city goes after Chuck for benefit fraud, the two friends the advice of gorgeous lawyer (Jessica Biel) and get married in Canada. Pretending to be gay, Larry (Adam Sandler) develops a big crush on the laywer and gets the opportunity to examine her breasts. The film has a few good laughs.
