Cast: Adam Sandler (Chuck Levine), Kevin James (Larry Valentine), Jessica Biel (Alex McDonough), Dan Aykroyd (Captain Tucker)
For more information, see IMDb's I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry page.
I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry is far from Adam Sandler or Kevin James' best comedic work, but it's worth renting or watching on a movie channel on TV. I wouldn't go out of my way for it and it wasn't very high on my list, but when I saw that it was on HBO, I figured it was worth recording. Definitely an amusing premise, but I think they could have done a better job with the story.

I knew this movie about a man who lost his family in the September 11 attack would be a rough one to watch, but (fortunately) they didn't concentrate on 9/11 very much. In spite of the movie making me cry at the end, I think I cried more when watching the extra features, which discussed 9/11 more.
The cast of Reign Over Me is amazing. The story isn't quite as well done as I expected, but it's definitely a movie well worth renting.

The story behind Click was such an interesting idea that I was really looking forward to the movie. We didn't have time to see it in the theatre, but now that I've rented it, I'm glad. I would have been disappointed if I'd bothered to see Click in a theatre. It wasn't a bad movie, but it's definitely not great.
Click is worth renting, but I wouldn't rush to put it at the top of my Netflix list.

A very good movie about a family trying to hold their lives together and the wonderful housekeeper (and her daughter) who change their lives forever. Hard to describe too much without giving it away, but I definitely recommend renting it!

I'm a huge fan of Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler, so I was really looking forward to seeing them together in another movie. 50 First Dates was a cute romantic comedy. Definitely worth renting if you don't get to it in movie theaters.
Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler make a great pair. I didn't even mind that Rob Schneider (who I normally avoid at all costs) was in the movie.

For complete cast info, see IMDb's Mr. Deeds page.
A sweet small-town guy inherits the controlling interest of a big company and takes over with a flourish. Deeds immediately starts to make a lot of changes when he realizes the power he has.
Not worth seeing in theatres, but I think it's worth renting. Cute movie about what your average, sweet, small-town guy would do if he all of a sudden became a wealthy man who's in charge of a large company.

This movie about a waterboy whose mother hates football finding out that he's got a talent for tackling and becoming a member of the team is very funny! The cast is amazing, the characters are ridiculous, and the story is very good. I definitely recommend that you check this out, even if you're not a huge Adam Sandler fan. I think you'll find it worth the time.

Such a cute romantic comedy. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore make a great pair in The Wedding Singer! I loved the 80's music for the soundtrack. So many memories... And then for Billy Idol to show up in a scene was too funny. Enjoy the flashbacks and the 80's memories this movie brings back for you and the sweet love story.
