Buddy comedies: hilarious, with just the right amount of bromance emotion. Buddy movies have been around for as long as one can remember. They are one genre of movies that has remained popular throughout, even though it may have had its peak prominence level only for a few phases.

On top of that, they are usually combined with other genres: most notably the cop film genre. ‘I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry’ is a buddy movie that adds in romance, in the most unexpected manner.

It revolves around the titular characters of Chuck and Larry, a couple of New York firefighters. The former is a womanizer while the latter is a widower.

The character of Chuck is essayed by Adam Sandler who needs no introduction whatsoever. The role of Larry, on the other hand, is essayed by Kevin James. Jessica Biel is also a part of the movie’s cast, apart from Dan Aykroyd, Ving Rhames, and Steve Buscemi.
