I won't be racing to the theaters to see this one:
This is the new Adam Sandler movie, "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry", where Adam Sandler and Kevin James play two straight guys pretending to be a gay couple so they can get domestic partner benefits. It looks and sounds like one of the most idiotic ideas for a movie in a long time, imo. Paging GLAAD:

2. www.themoviespoiler.com saves me a lot of money.
2-4 minutes of reading, I've saved a bunch of time and money.

3. All I had to see was "Adam Sandler"
That man is about the un-funniest person on the face of the earth. Kevin James is a close second.

4. I will admit, Adam Sandler was quite good in "Reign Over Me."
I was a bit reluctant to go see it because of his participation, but my wife insisted, and I was pleasantly surprised. I was more bothered by the fact that they changed The Who's use of "o'er" to "over." :)

5. Have there been any good ideas for a movie in a long long time?

6. I'm sure it will be a movie with two faces
There's the press conference face where Sandler says it's all about defeating stereotypes and demonstrating everyone's inherent dignity, and the actual movie, where 99% of the jokes involve guys grabbing each other's asses.
