Adam Sandler and Kevin James will play gay -- literally -- in next summer's I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. The two funny guys pose as a married couple in order to reap the oh-so-lucrative benefits of domestic partnership. Jessica Biel plays the boys' lawyer -- and, predictably, Sandler's heterosexual relief pitcher.
We shouldn't expect any Some Like It Hot riding off into the sunset together, but with Alexander Payne (Election, Sideways) writing the script, there's at least a little hope that the film will fall squarely under the heading of smart, even poignant grown-up humor (think Sandler in Big Daddy) and not THE WORST IDEA EVER.
Plus there'll be some token actual gays: Richard Chamberlain will appear in some as-yet-unspecified elder role. And Lance Bass just told 75,000 of his closest MySpace friends that he'll take the typical Sandler role and play wedding singer as the duo celebrate their blissful nuptials.
