I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007) - Synopsis

Firemen Chuck Ford (Adam Sandler) and Larry Allensworth (Kevin James) are revered around the firehouse for their machismo. The two are best of friends, but live very dissimilar lives. Chuck loves being single, while widower Larry devotes himself to his children. After saving Chuck’s life in a fire, Larry approaches his buddy with a bizarre favor. Due to unfortunate legal obstacles, Larry is unable to name his own children as his life insurance beneficiaries, but a loophole in the system will allow him to do so as long as he can claim someone as his domestic partner. Since he trusts Chuck, he asks him to go out on a limb and accept the embarrassing proposal. Chuck agrees, with both feeling confident that no one will ever find out the truth. When a meticulous city worker becomes suspicious and decides to investigate the union, the duo’s little secret becomes a city-wide discussion. Now, Chuck and Larry need to move in together and improvise a relationship that’s fresh and blissful enough to convince everyone of their love for each other.
