A one-note, one-joke movie, it wastes terrific performances from Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear.

This time around a... Following the outrageous comedies THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY, SHALLOW HAL, and DUMB AND DUMBER, the Farrelly brothers present yet another humorous romp with STUCK ON YOU. This time around a couple of conjoined twins (Greg Kinnear and Matt Damon) are the focus, and this premise provides for a relentless string of clever, absurd, and always-fresh jokes. Bob (Damon) and Walt (Kinnear) are living happy lives, perfectly content to be joined by a patch of skin that extends from armpit to hip and allows them to share a liver. Though they must do everything in tandem, they are best friends and treat each other as individuals with separate lives. Living on Martha's Vineyard, Bob (Damon) owns a popular local diner where he and Walt work as incredibly fast-moving short-order cooks with all four hands in perfect sync flipping burgers and slicing vegetables--this is one of the best gags in the film. However, as the brothers are shown playing hockey, fighting kung-fu style, cruising for babes in a bar, and taking on basically any other feat imaginable, the laughs only get better. Trouble comes when suave, confident Walt decides to pursue a Hollywood acting career, and Bob's stage fright, panic attacks, and shyness present a personality clash. Nonetheless, they get to meet Meryl Streep, they land a starring role in a television show with Cher, and they find some nice girlfriends. The Farellys keep their signature gross-out humor to a minimum with this likeable film, and provide some truly great, easily digestible physical comedy. [More]

Reviews for Stuck on You
If you're after a comedy that will make you laugh for many of its 115 minutes, Stuck On You does deliver.
An entertaining comedy that gets drowned in too much sap and fails because of it.
Not only is the Farrelly brothers’ latest film the funniest film of the year, it marks a quantum leap forward for the filmmaking duo.
Audiences may be put off by a script that's just a bit too progressive and intelligent for its own good.
The Farrelly Brothers go soft in their old age with this shockingly inoffensive comedy about a pair of conjoined twins.
The movie avoids cheap shots; instead, you usually laugh at the ingenious ways the characters deal with being conjoined.
Too sweet and eager to please for its own good, Stuck on You signifies the Farrelly brothers continued descent toward medicority.
By the Farrellys' standards, Stuck on You is pretty tame, keeping the gutter humor to a minimum.
It may feel like assembly-line work. But during a holiday movie season crammed with celluloid equivalents of filet mignon, sometimes it's good to chomp down on a decent burger.
At once ridiculous, obnoxious, and poignant, it recaptures the difficult middle ground between gross and sweet that There's Something About Mary managed so well.
Stuck doesn't come close to There's Something About Mary -- still the Farrellys' peak -- but it's half a notch above Shallow Hal and a good deal funnier than landfill like Me, Myself & Irene.
