[QUOTE=N9IWP] Just a clarification: KJ is a widower, and for reasons that make no sense whatsoever, if he dies his kids will not get his death benift unless he is married / partnered. (just want to clarify the premise) FYI, I will not watch teh movie, I will not rent the DVD, I will not Pay Per view, and probably won’t watch it if it gets on free TV. Brian [/QUOTE] I will not watch it on a ferry, I will not watch it while being wary, I will not watch I Now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry. ---

[QUOTE=Bryan Ekers] Okay… I bet _Chuck and Larry_ will be better than being woken by a three-year old driving a staple into your forehead.

I will not watch when robed in terry, I will not watch with Richard Scarey, I will not watch you, Chuck and Larry. By the way, I just this second realized that this Jessica person being spoken of is not the same as Jennifer Beals from _Flashdance_. What can I say, I don’t keep abreast of the latest, er, breasts. ---

[QUOTE=Wee Bairn] His kids won’t get benefits if he dies because his wife is dead? What era and country is this set in? [/QUOTE] I believe it’s set in NYC, which makes perfect sense. There’s no one New Yorkers hate more than the orphaned children of fire fighters. ---

License to Wed is the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Keep in mind, I also saw Evan Almighty. Somehow, Chuck and Larry looks even worse. In the commercials, it doesn’t even look like the actors are trying very hard. I think they’re resigned to the fact that they’re in the worst movie since…umm…License to Wed? ---

[/QUOTE] Last night, Adam Sandler was on the Daily Show, and the clip he brought was painful. I would think most people would bring a clip that gives some hint, some clue, what the movie is about, but his clip was of him and Kevin James swathed in bandages after some kind of accident, and him trying to convince Kevin that his body had been amputated. It was a random scene that had nothing to do with anything concerning the plot, and it wasn’t funny, neither. But now, reading that the movie is 2 hours 20 minutes long, I guess the clip does show the audience what they’re in for: hours of Adam and Kevin goofing around and very little in the way of story. And I thought on Drew Carey he claimed Oswald was his domestic partner so he could get health benefits for his dog Speedy who needed hip surgery? Don’t tell me he went to the fake gay marriage well _twice_! ---

Well, **Diogenes** will probably have to see this in the line of duty, so he can report back on just how bad it really is, just as he did with _Evan Almighty_. ---
