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]

With this film, the Farrellys seem to have lost the special balance of humor and sentiment that fueled some of their earlier films.

There's a daft sweetness and inclusiveness at work that sustains the Farrelly movie long after the notion of attached brothers boxing or quarterbacking or manning a burger joint's kitchen fails to stir the chuckle meter.

Beyond the gimmicky play on words and a myriad of site gags lies a deep connection between two men who know nothing but togetherness.

It's difficult not to like Stuck on You. Damon is truly endearing, Kinnear gives off a movie-star gleam, Mendes is light and sparkly in a rare comedic turn, and Yann Shih is a real charmer.

The most personal project yet from "Peter & Bobby Farrelly," as they are referred to in the press kit, the ampersand serving as the symbol of their professional conjunction...

Stuck on You lacks energy, verve, and effective, laugh-generating comedy. It's the most disappointing thing to come from the brothers in years.

(The Farrelly Brothers) have a tendency to rely on good gags to prop up shopworn storytelling.

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

Except for a few bright moments with its cast, Stuck on You doesn't stick with you in any way other than to remind you the Farrelly brothers have lost their touch.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh plenty of times during Stuck On You, but I'd be negligent if I didn't mention the movie's distracting sloppiness.

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

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.
