Jessica Biel proclaims I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK AND LARRY to Sandler and James!

Published at:  Jul 31, 2006 12:44:05 AM CDT

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Looks like geek pinup girl Jessica Biel has nabbed a role in Adam Sandler's next comedy I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK AND LARRY in which Sandler's character is a fireman who poses as part of a gay couple (his significant other is Kevin James) in order to take advantage of his department's domestic-partner benefits. Apparently Biel will play a hot lady who represents James and Sandler in their case. Of course, Sandler falls for her, putting his gay image in jeopardy.



I know I'll get reamed for this in talkback, but I'm actually quite a fan of Sandler's team-ups with Drew Barrymore. Biel is hot, so check on that front. Let's hope her and Sandler have a good amount of chemistry, at least enough to match what he and Barrymore have. Add on to all that a script by ELECTION and SIDEWAYS screenwriters Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, I'm pulling for this one to be really fun.

    I dunno...

    by yellowoystercult

    I'll see it 'cause of Payne and Taylor. I like what they do -- although I wonder what their purpose in writing it was. I had the opportunity to talk with Alexander Payne a couple years ago, and he mentioned that he and Jim Taylor saw the Jurassic Park III script as just a job. Since he's directed practically everything else he's written with Taylor, I'm curious if they approached this project the same way.

    With Kevin James in this, however, I am a little interested.

    And

    by yellowoystercult

    I agree, Quint. I normally can't stomach either Adam Sandler or Drew Barrymore, but together, they're slightly more palatable. I don't know much about Jessica Biel to say one way or the other - I never watched "7th Heaven," and God knows I've never seen "Summer Catch." Is she worthwhile?

    I can't believe Payne is writing this...

    by george newman

    It won't be a standard Sandler flick, like I was expecting at the beginning of the article, which will be nice. I'd wish for something with class like PunchDrunk Love, but this is about two firemen pretending to be gay, so Nix to that...

    What were the guys in Srange Bedfellows?

    by half vader

    I don't think Hoges or Caton was a firefighter, although I never saw the film, so does anyone know? I daresay I won't see this version either, as it's exactly the same film (with Sandler, so even less chance). The question still gnaws at me though.

    Sure he has had a few misses, but he still brings the funny. It is also cool to see him poke fun at the sillyness which is domestic partnerships.

    Quint, Drew is the worst actress in the history of time

    by zarles

    Seriously. They may as well get that chick who impersonates her on SNL to play every single role Drew decides to take from now on. I've seen Kleenex boxes with better range. Biel's got more ass than a donkey show, but I'm sure this will be yet another Hit-Me-In-The-Balls-With-Something-Because-I'm-Adam-Sandler "movie". I pass.

    Why does he insists that his characters have superhuman strength in every one of his movies? If I wasn't such an insecure little jewboy, I would say that he is one too.

    A bitchy glamourpuss who lives for being in every issue of Us Weekly. People hated the TCM Remake, but I think Jess did a great job, She was believable, and pulled off the scream queen stuff well. She also has a fantastic healthy looking body, and seems to be game to make action movies.

    Which means there are plenty of idiots out there ready to shell out green for his movies. So don't expect to see any slowdown from Sandler's Shlock Factory

    Gay Weddings

    by the dum guy

    You know legal homosexual marriage for the whole USA isn't far off, and with that I can see even more movies like this being made. The next one will have two straight guys who go to Vegas, gets blitzed over a night of drinking and end up getting married, thus the hilarity ensues and by the end we will all learn a thing about tolerence; costaring, oh let's say, ANT and Ellen.

    Re: Anybody Seen 'London'?/Ray the "Wise"

    by rich malone

    Yeah Ray, I've seen London. I actually watched it with my girlfriend, and I try to re-duplicate that first scene in the bathroom with my her as much as possible. I actually tell her to "do the thing from London, baby!" There's actually a Spanish chick that I work with that looks like a dead ringer for Jessica Biel, except with red hair and Latin features. All day at work, I just sit back and think "I wonder if you swallow?" Maybe one day, I'll invite her out, get her really drunk, and find out. sorry for this long ass rant, but if you haven't seen the movie 'London', it's a pretty entertaining rental, and you can see Jason 'the Transporter' Statham with a full head of hair!

    Of Geeks & Hot Babes...

    by cold winter wind

    Seven-of-Nine is a science-fiction-geek Babe. Ms. Biel is an action-adventure-geek Babe.

    I was really 'meh' about her until I saw her flexing & doing that gung-fu, combat-archery thang in Blade:Trinity. Now, I'll stipulate that B:T basically Hoovered (hummed, sucked & blew - all at once [c/tm - see me about fees.] But any girl-next-door that has the self-dicipline to turn herself into a SoCal hardbody, and shows that she's not afraid to get hot & sweaty, definitely has my attention. As for her acting chops, at least she CAN play different characters, rather than simply be Celebrity-Face-With-A-Different-Name-For-Two-Hours. So, yeah, I'll give this one a shot, especially if there's a scene involving Ms. Biel & a hose.
