It's a Sandler comedy- get over it!

Two straight best buddies, Chuck (Adam Sandler) and Larry (Kevin James) are best friends and they both work together on the same crew as firefighters. Larry who is single handedly raising his kids following the death of his beloved wife forgets to change the beneficiary of his fireman's insurance and now needs to get married to someone he trusts so that his insurance policies would be able to go to his kids.
After hearing about new rights for gay couples, he decides to ask Chuck to pretend to be his gay partner. Chuck, who is woman crazy, declines at first but then remembers he owes Chuck his life, so he ends up agreeing. Problems arise when the state sends investigators to check for fraudulent acts and what they think will be a quick and easy case of pretending they are gay turns into the need to get married and trick even their family and friends into believing they've turned. This obviously throws up some hilarious circumstances, especially when Chuck falls head in heels over in love with their lawyer played by Jessica Biel.
If you are looking for laughs, you'll get more than that. However, if you are a critic - looking for holes and flaws in the film, you won't be disappointed either. But hey...to hell with criticisms! Let's just all be gay! (pun intended)
