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]

None of this is awful -- it has a brisk spirit of whimsy -- but it all runs in a very narrow groove.

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.

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

This movie is really more sweet than funny. In places it's almost Capraesque, or as close to Capra as you can get in a movie featuring Cher and Siamese twins.

[The Farrelly brothers have] made a comedy close to their own not-quite- joined- at-the-hip lives but left out the funny stuff.

Sweet, funny although not always inspired comedy about conjoined twins making a go of showbiz.

Ever since Mary, the Farrellys have struggled to find a more mature comedic voice. Stuck on You finds them hitting their stride, adding sentiment without compromising their quirkiness.

A two-hour, one-joke comedy that never gets old, Stuck on You is the most mature, consistently funny and satisfyingly sweet movie in the rollicking careers of brother filmmakers Bobby and Peter Farrelly.

Like all of the Farrellys' previous movies, Stuck on You suffers from an episodic script and an overly long running time plagued by too many dull, laugh-free patches.

The problem with the Farrellys' latest comedy isn't that it's tasteless. It simply isn't funny enough.

Disarmingly sweet and often uproariously funny.

[The Farrelly brothers] pepper the film with some great visual gags, but these are secondary to the sweet sentiment that lies just under the surface of everything.

It has a few chuckles, but essentially it's a watered-down Farrelly tale of brotherly love, and who needs that?

Stands atop a soapbox of separation anxiety and screams its message of togetherness, redefining the word “freaks” in the process.

Less sticky than a Post-it, and even more disposable.

Stuck On You is endearingly goofy, and in many ways, it could be the sweetest, most affectionate film the Farrellys have ever done.

Although a few chuckles crop up, the movie proves distressingly free of laughs.
