When two testosterone-fueled firemen attempt to register as domestic partners in order to bypass the bureaucratic red tape preventing one of them from naming his own two children as his life-insurance beneficiaries, their low-key ruse turns into headline news in this quirky matrimonial
comedy starring
Adam Sandler and
Kevin James.
Chuck Levine (
Sandler) and
Larry Valentine (
James) are two New York City firefighters whose longtime friendship has endured many a five-alarm fire. All that widower
Larry wants is to ensure that his two children will be taken care of if anything should happen to him on the job, and all that single blaze-battler
Chuck wants is to carry on with his carefree life of noncommitment. Having once rescued
Larry from certain death in a particularly fearsome inferno, beholden
Chuck feels forever indebted to his brave friend and has vowed to repay the favor when the time is right. When
Larry discovers that the only means of circumventing the civic red tape that could throw his children's futures into jeopardy is to take
Chuck as his lawfully wedded husband, his obligated pal reluctantly agrees to step up to the alter with the understanding that the arrangement will be a well-kept secret between themselves and the justice of the peace. A potentially fatal flaw in their presumably foolproof plan is soon revealed, however, when an overzealous bureaucrat decides to question
Chuck and
Larry's partnership. Subsequently forced to embark on a mandatory honeymoon and pose as starry-eyed newlyweds,
Chuck and
Larry quickly discover just how important it can be to stick by a friend in his or her time of need.
Jessica Biel,
Steve Buscemi,
Ving Rhames, and
Dan Aykroyd co-star in a
comedy from
The Benchwarmers director
Dennis Dugan.
