Two macho city firemen pretend to be a gay couple in order to secure insurance benefits denied to one of them owing to a bureaucratic error after the death of his wife. That's the plot of Adam Sandler's latest comedy which professes to be defiantly liberal about gays while characterising them as screaming queens.
If you can stand this, you may be able to laugh occasionally, but in essence Dennis Duggan's film is patronising and a little degrading.
The joke is that best-friend firemen Chuck (Sandler) and Larry (Kevin James) are really as hetero as they come but, mincing about like fearful parodies of "faggots", they shock the rest of their unit.
Sorry, Adam, but this is one step too far along the blue-collar comedy route.
