I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry

July 4th 2007 10:20

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is an upcoming 2007 comedy film directed by Dennis Dugan and starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James. The film is slated for release on July 20, 2007 in the US and September 21, 2007 in the UK. The Australian release date is August 9th.

Chuck Levine (Adam Sandler) and Larry Valentine (Kevin James) are the pride of their fire station: two guy's guys always side-by-side and willing to do anything for each other. Salt-of-the-earth widower Larry wants just one thing: to protect his family. His buddy Chuck also wants one thing: to enjoy the single life.

Grateful Chuck owes Larry for saving his life in a fire, and Larry calls in that favour big time when civic red tape prevents him from naming his own two kids as his life insurance beneficiaries. All that Chuck has to do is claim to be Larry's domestic partner on some city forms. Easy. Nobody will ever know.

But when an overzealous, spot-checking bureaucrat (Steve Buscemi) becomes suspicious, the new couple's arrangement becomes a citywide issue and goes from confidential to front-page news. Forced to improvise as love-struck newlyweds, Chuck and Larry must now fumble through a hilarious charade of domestic bliss under one roof. After surviving their mandatory honeymoon and dodging the threat of exposure, the well-intentioned con men discover that sticking together in your time of need is what truly makes a family.

Ocean's Thirteen

June 6th 2007 15:26

Ocean's Thirteen is the third (and according to Director Steven Soderbergh, final) film in the "Ocean's" trilogy. It follows on from the 2004 sequel Ocean's Twelve and the 2001 picture Ocean's Eleven, a remake of the 1960 Rat Pack film.

When Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould) makes the mistake of building a hotel with one of Las Vegas’ most hated businessmen, Willy Banks (Al Pacino), he gets cut out of the deal and ends up in the hospital after a heart attack. Danny Ocean (George Clooney) tries to help his old friend out by giving Banks a chance to restore Reuben’s share of the hotel, but the vindictive Banks dismisses him without any regard. Six months later, with Banks’ investment thriving as the richest hotel in the city and the ultimate spot for high rollers, Ocean and his crew decide to bring him down in epic fashion. With the help of their former nemesis, casino owner Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), who is also out to settle the score against Banks, his fierce rival, they scheme to find a way to bankrupt Banks on his casino’s opening night. This time, they are not in it for the money, but rather for revenge. It will be released in America and the UK on June 8th, and Australia on June 14th
