Average Rating:6/10

Consensus: An unusually sweet and charming comedy by the Farrelly brothers. Fans may miss the distinct lack of bodily fluids though.

Runtime: 1 hr 59 mins

Genre: Comedies

US Box Office: $33,597,171

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]

A one-joke affair about conjoined twins that feels like it bypassed the scripting stage and was filmed directly from the pitch, the comedy remains resoundingly unfunny despite the strained efforts of stars Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear.

When not overindulging in birth defect humor, this shock comedy divides its attention between two equally-annoying sub-themes: degrading females and prominent product placements.

The brothers (the directing ones) strike a good balance between sick and sweet, and Damon and Kinnear make a great comedy team.

The Farrellys try to trade in for a Hollyweird satire, but like the rest of the movie, it's way too wimpy to be biting, let alone side-splitting (no disgusting pun intended).

Typical Farrelly Brothers material--no more, no less.

Here the message -- it's not nice to ridicule, mistreat or ignore people just because they're different -- verges on the oppressive; more of the Farrellys' trademark over-the-top comedy would have lightened the load.

A strangely lackluster, flaccid string of fitfully humorous episodes.

The Farrelly Brothers go soft in their old age with this shockingly inoffensive comedy about a pair of conjoined twins.

By the Farrellys' standards, Stuck on You is pretty tame, keeping the gutter humor to a minimum.

A one joke film (and not much of a joke at that) that tries hard but mostly falls flat.

The physical performances of (Matt) Damon and (Greg) Kinnear are marvelous.
