Movies that feel likeI Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007)

Firefighters Chuck Ford and Larry Valentine are guy's guys, loyal to the core—which is why when widower Larry asks Chuck to pose as his lover so that he can get domestic partner benefits for his kids, his buddy agrees. However, things get dicey when a bureaucrat comes calling, and the boys are forced to present a picture of domestic bliss.

If you loved I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, the closest films we have are Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008), Obvious Child (2014) and Definitely, Maybe (2008). All three share I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Lisbela and the Prisoner (2003).
