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]

Though the film remains entertaining for a little while...the film eventually becomes the same sort of typically dull Farrelly brothers comedy most folks lap up willingly.

...it does opt to aim for something mildly subversive while coasting on something rather subdued and sweet in its watered down cheeky presentation.

The Farrellys tackle something sweeter and more personal than in the past. But it doesn’t mean they have to suffer any separation anxiety from what makes their films fun.

When we know someone and love them -- that's when we can laugh at them. If Peter and Bobby Farrelly get it, anybody can.

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

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.

The movie avoids cheap shots; instead, you usually laugh at the ingenious ways the characters deal with being conjoined.

Is Stuck on You a great film? No, not really. But it's a good one with a good heart, and it affords a truly pleasant time at the movies.

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).

The Farrellys need to remember this: Sappiness is easy, comedy is hard.

Stuck on You is hilarious -- but it's also sweet, in a demented sort of way.
