Okie dokie, folks. The premise of this movie intrigued me. Not because I thought it would be good. Or even a revolutionary film for the gay community. It's not that, although it has the good intentions to be. It's really just an awkward comedy about two guys who do what they have to do for each other. Although Adam Sandler resists as much as possible.
Still, watching these two overweight middle-aged guys embrace a same-sex "relationship" is inspiring while it's disturbing. (Not disturbing because of the gay thing, just because it's Kevin James and Adam Sandler...) Friends got your back. And what they do - even if it is illegal - inspires those who are gay in the community to step forward and live openly. Good things come from this trainwreck, so it's not all bad.
