They're as straight as can be, but don't tell anyone.
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.

An ok movie. Pretends to be gay so his friend won't lose everything. Then uses it to get closer to Jessica Beal.

Funny movie! Had some very good moments and emotional. Bit on the silly side at points but was actually a surprise. Had a good story and kept me interested even though I'm normally a sci-fi fantasy guy.
