Chuck and Larry is way before it's time. Before you can make fun of a situation, you've got to have some closure with the issue at hand. Are there any comedies about the middle passage? Nope, and there never will be.
Gay marriage is a okay to laugh at because it's with those people who dance in the street in June with no clothes on. They don't care, they're always ready for a good laugh.
I'd like to know who green lights this stuff? Does the writer's pitch consist of, "What do you get when you put gay marriage and firefighters from Brooklyn together?" I would think a porno, but looks like the writer(s) had other plans. The fact that it rose to #1 at the box office says more about our country than any poll could.
I found this article from a blogger on Huffington Post. My hats off to Joan Garry, very well said.

I have to say that I'm not a big fan of Sandler and have avoided in most part to go out of my way to catch his antics at the movies!
So this one is a definite no-no for me!
Gay marriage is something that I don't beleive in anyway coz its a hetero construct with too many baggage attached to it. I'd rather have the legal right, priviledges and respect given to any voting couple - wedlock is an entirely different word!
Amen! I think this movie is just wrong, wrong, wrong.
I'm not into the whole marriage thing. I just want to be able to see my partner in the hospital and have the same legal, like you said, privileges as hetrosexuals.
