Plot Outline:Two straight, single Brooklyn firefighters (Sandler, James) pretend to be a gay couple in order to receive domestic partner benefits.
Chuck Levine (Sandler) and Larry Valentine (Kevin Smith) are Brooklyn firefighters who have known each other since their days in the Academy. They are the best of friends despite their differences when it comes to members of the opposite sex. Larry is raising his two kids alone while still reeling from the death of her wife, while Chuck is the no-commitment type of guy who sleeps with different girls every night.
But a flaw in New York's laws regarding same-sex domestic partnership has Larry doing the unthinkable: he asks Chuck to sign for a domestic partnership with him so that his children might benefit from the pension in case tragedy strikes. Of course, this raises suspicions and Chuck and Larry find themselves right under the city government's noses, and discrimination from their co-workers.The movie is filled to the brim with recycled jokes and all homosexual and Asian stereotypes .Yet for all the low-brow jabs it wants to be liked, so much so that it gets concerned on offending anyone, and that results to an awkward shift of course by preaching against the very practice it was doing. It may be well-intentioned but it comes off as a hypocritical and smarmy.4/10 a disappointment
