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]

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

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

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

The Farrelly brothers -- closet humanists of the first order -- deliver a terrifically funny flick, smartly more invested in character rather than its outrageous premise.

Stuck on You is pretty much impossible not to like, with its pleasant charm and plenty of laughs supporting a sentimental message.

If you're after a comedy that will make you laugh for many of its 115 minutes, Stuck On You does deliver.

Not only is Stuck on You a hoot, but it also walks a line -- as the best Farrelly brothers movies do -- between silly farce and sweet sentimentality that artfully avoids the cloying or maudlin.

What sets the Farrelly brothers apart from their gross out peers is that their movies can involve the brain and touch the heart during breaks between embarrassing discharges.

The secret of the Farrelly’s best films is that they have undisguised affection for the oddballs in their movies.

Stuck on You ... is surprisingly charming. That's right, you read 'charming.'

An engaging and affectionate motion picture that may have its fair share of problems, but treats its subject matter with surprising adeptness.

Lo que hacen los Farrelly es reírse de algo considerado “serio” pero como quien se ríe de algo de todos los días.

The jokes are hit-or-miss, but most of what they come up with is pretty good.

Stuck On You had the potential to be a true classic, but is still stocked with enough big laughs to earn a place on your calendar.
