Sandler Plays Gay Poseur in New Film

Adam Sandler says there’s a moral to his upcoming movie, in which he plays a heterosexual fireman who pretends to be gay.

“This movie says there’s nothing wrong with being gay. There’s just something wrong with being gay for Kevin James,� Sandler told Newsweek.

James, star of the CBS comedy “The King of Queens,� and Sandler portray firemen pretending to be a gay couple to receive domestic partnership benefits. The film, “I

Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry,� is scheduled to be released July 20.

“I know Kevin, and it’s kind of a strange thing to have to play. So to ease the tension, before the first day of shooting, we had sex with each other,� Sandler said. “We just got it out of the way so it wouldn’t be an issue. It’s an old tip I picked up from working with (Jack) Nicholson.�

      Haha, I love his Jack Nicholson comment. Although, I’m not sure if I will like this movie, cause I didn’t really like “King of Queens.” Not a big Kevin James fan. But I do love Sandler, so we’ll see!

      It’s always nice to see Adam Sandler in any film. He has tried to get into more serious stuff but I’m content seeing him in any role. He can make me laugh any day. I like Kevin James more now since his role in Hitch.

      I bet Kevin James is good for this movie. In Hitch he proved he is good so I am not doubting his abilities for this movie.
