Summary: shame on bad critics
Review: I loved this movie, and I think it's sad that it hasn't gotten much love from you people apparently. I at first thought, hey, I'll watch this movie just for pooh and laughs, not really expecting anything from it, just dumb comedy. I was so wrong. This movie has wonderful comedy, fabulous actors, and a great story line that doesn't need to rely on stupid fraternaty driven humor to keep it going. I was really touched by the great ending the Faralley brothers put in there. Great movie all around!

I also LOVED the song that is performed at the end of the movie during the Bonnie and Clyde play. I can't find it anywhere though. If anybody knows where I could get a copy of Greg K. singing this awesome song, please let me know. Thanks!

Summary: (3 1/2) Farrelly Bros Gone Soft; Still Great Comic Acting
Review: Conjoined twins Bob and Walt are living in Martha's Vinyard. When amateur stage actor Walt finally decides to travel to LA, and be a professional one, Bob also goes too ... rather reluctantly. But in Hollywood their luck turns out good, maybe better than they expected, because of the unexpected success of TV series starring Cher. Yes, that's her.

Nobody would think of this idea, let alone try to make it a real Hollywood studio movie. Farelly Brothers do, and moreover can get Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear as the conjoined twins. You would not only see them 'stuck' on each other (thanks to the special make-up division), but get some laughs from their gags, which are admittedly quite ... unique. (Did you see the most 'unfair' boxing fighting in history?)

The predictable nature of the film cannot be denied. Shy Bob has been exchanging letters with a nice girl May, but cannot tell the truths about his body. Can he tell? Or Cher plays herself as very deliciously mean character, well, at first glance, of course. Is she really so? You get the answers before the film starts.

Still, there are very funny moments (and many, I found), and many cameos are certainly delightful, which include Meryl Streep (as herself), Griffin Dunn (as himself), and, oh, did you know Cher (in this film, I mean) is dating with the star of 'Agent Cody Banks'?

The story and the gags are not offensive as you might believe. The real problem is that 'Stuck on You' nearly depends on the sentimental feelings, in the second half in particular. And if you are seeking for body fluids here, Farrelly Bros. refused to us them this time.

The film is too long (120 mins), and its premise about the conjoined twins is clearly streched too much, but you should wait for the best scene coming at the end. The last musical section featuring Streep and Kennear is so fantastic that you may forget any flaws, or even that this movie is directed by the brothers who did 'Shallow Hal.' Not great, but still entertaining and pretty funny thanks to the great comic timings of Damon and Kennear.

Summary: Pretty funny stuff
Review: This movie didn't rely on the crude humor that you'd probably assume a comedy about conjoined twins would have. Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear play two thirty-something brothers who just happen to be joined at the hip...literally. When Walt (Kinnear) decides he wants to go to Hollywood to make it big as an actor, Bob (Damon) agrees to go along for the ride (like he has much of a choice in the matter!). Hilarity ensues when Walt lands a gig co-starring on a new television drama with Cher (who plays herself in the film). Meanwhile, Bob attempts to establish a relationship with his longtime pen-pal (Wen Yann Shih), who somehow hasn't realized that she's dating a conjoined twin.

There are a ton of funny moments in the film. Obviously, Damon and Kinnear get to demonstrate a lot of physical comedy in their roles. We see flashbacks of the brothers playing organized sports together in school, and there's a great scene where they manage to beat the crap out of half a dozen guys at a bar. (They even get into a few brawls with each other.) One of my favorite things about the movie is that after Walt and Bob get out of the hospital, Bob never fully regains his sense of balance since he's so used to leaning up against his brother. (Walt doesn't seem to have that problem, though...I wonder why that is?) Meryl Streep also has a great cameo role as herself. (The "Bonnie and Clyde" musical number at the end could be enough material in itself for a sequel, in my humble opinion.)

"Stuck on You" was much better than I had anticipated. It was nice to see Damon in a comedic role, but I think Kinnear (who is one of the most underrated actors around) steals the show.

Rating:
Summary: A thoroughly enjoyable movie
Review: I don't get the mediocre reviews this has, I found it a thoroughly enjoyable movie. Funny and warm all the time, sometimes real damn funny.

A note to film makers: when you do the commentary, talk about the movie. Don't talk about the names and the families of the extras. Talk about the movie. Please.

Summary: Forgettable Fun
Review: This Farrelly brothers comedy involves Siamese Twins Kinnear and Damon, who go to Hollywood with a dream of acting that eclipses their small-town career as short-order cooks. The dream is Kinnear's, and some of the tension comes from Damon's desire to stay at home. The comedy is up to par, with all the jokes you would expect, as well as a few you wouldn't expect. There is also a more serious effort to inject human conflict and emotion than you might expect, although the heartwarming elements were fringe-like and value neutral at best. Still, it was nice to have some serious moments if only to give the audience a chance to accept the gags without the nonstop funnies seeming too shrill. Forgettable fun.
