Summary: Very Enjoyable
Review: I'm a huge fan of Peter & Bobby Farrelly (except for Osmosis Jones that was trash) and I was satisfied with this new movie.
Bob and Walt Tenor(Matt Damon & Greg Kinnear) are two brothers who own a restraunt in Marthas Vineyard and are happy with their life of being conjoined twins,but when Walt wants to be an actor and go to Hollywood,things change a little bit.After going to Hollywood and finding no luck,Walt is spotted by Cher who has a contract with a show that she hates called "Honey and the Beaze"
and hires Walt as the co-star in order to drop ratings,however her plan backfires and the ratings just go up.However,Bob doesn't enjoy the Hollywood lifestyle and would rather be back at Marthas Vineyard at the restraunt.But by now Walt has become a star and "Honey and the Beaze" is a hit.The movie which is funny but not terrific also has some heart,the movie is not just a comedy but also a look at a bond between two brothers.Although
Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear obviously look nothing alike they are cast perfectly in the role of Bob and Walt.I really enjoyed the film and I hope you do as well.

Summary: this was a waste of $3.98
Review: Matt Damon is going in the same direction John Travolta went in the 1980's. and Greg Kinnear is begging to be the next host of Hollywood Squares. I'll take Jim J. Bullock to block, Greg.

Summary: Unattached
Review: Comedy directors, Peter and Bobby Farrelly, haven't really had a "mega-hit" since There's Something About Mary. After seeing the Stuck On You trailer in theaters, I was sure it was going to be another lackluster film, along the lines of Me Myself And Irene. While not quite on the same level of disappointment, as that Jim Carrey movie, Stuck On You, isn't exactally a laugh riot either.Bob (Matt Damon) and Walt (Greg Kinnear) Tenor are small-town legends who excel at sports, and who are the proud owners of a fast-food restaurant where their four hands work the grill at lightning speed. When the acting bug bites Walt, he convinces Bob to honor their childhood pact to never hold back the other, and the brothers head west for the bright lights of Hollywood. Bob and Walt make fast friends with their sultry neighbor, April (Eva Mendez) who helps Walt get his foot in the door as a porn star. Things begin to look even better for Walt when the boys encounter a legendary Hollywood diva. Whatever happens to the boys, one thing is for sure... nothing will ever come between them. The film's comedy relies on the fact that the brothers are truly stuck together. It's just too bad that the teaming of Damon and Kinnear didn't produce the kind of chemistry that's so vital in order for this to work. Damon, who can be funny, seemed to be trying too hard. And I still say Kinnear, should have stayed on cable TV's Talk Soup, rather than make the movie leap...Other than As Good As It Gets, has he even been in a "popular" movie since then?? Some of the jokes and bits are funny, but frankly the Farrelly's seem to be playing it safe here. The laughs are not as rapid fire or ireverent as I expeted. The biggest sight gag wears thin too after the first 30 minutes or so... The audio commentary by the Farrelly Brothers is ok--the two don't take things too seriously and I had more fun with the track than the film itself. The eight deleted scenes wouldn't have amounted to making the movie any better--had they been included. Of the three featurettes: "It's Funny: The Farrelly Formula," "Bringing Stuck on You to the Screen," and "The Makeup Effects", I enjoyed watching the one that details the make-up secrets the best. The others are pretty generic and don't really offer much that you wouldn't expect them to. In the cross promotion department: the extras offer a short look behind the scenes at the comedy Dodgeball(?) and other future DVD releases. A brief blooper reel, TV ads, the Stuck On You theatrical trailer round out the disc. Stuck On You is rather middle of the road as far as the Farrelly Brothers filmography is concerned...A risky buy a better rental but beware either way.

Summary: A Disappointment
Review: I saw Greg Kinnear in Sabrina and As Good as It Gets, and thought that he was marvelous in both. I saw Matt Damon in Ocean's Eleven, and thought he was great in that as well. I saw Shallow Hal, which was also directed by the Farelly brothers, and thought that (aside from being kind of stupid) it was really funny. I hated this film, and there weren't any redeeming qualities at all. I kept waiting for Kinnear and Damon's wonderful acting abilities to pop out and completely bring back the entire movie. It didn't happen. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone- it was a complete disappointment for me.

Summary: Another funny comedy from the Farrelly brothers
Review: Stuck on You is a very funny comedy from the Farrelly Brothers that has a much different tone that their other movies. Bob and Walt Tenor are conjoined twins who own a burger joint on Martha's Vineyard. They both enjoy what they have, but Walt wants to move to LA to become an actor. Bob agrees to go with so that Walt can pursue an acting career. As their lives begin to change in Los Angeles, they begin to consider a surgery that would separate them, but is also risky for Walt. Stuck on You has a much more lighthearted tone than some of the Farrelly brother's other movies, but it is still hilarious. Walt and Bob's situation as conjoined twins allows for plenty of funny situations, most notably when the two play sports. Watching them play tennis, football, basketball, fight, and even box are some of the high points of the movie. For a very enjoyable Farrelly brothers comedy with a ligther tone, check out Stuck on You. What makes this movie so good, is that the cast is very likable, especially Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear. Matt Damon plays Bob, the somewhat less confident brother who agrees to movie to LA. Greg Kinnear is Walt who wants to become an actor. The two have definite chemistry together, which helps since they're stuck together for much of the movie. Eva Mendes doesn't have much to do here as April, the Tenor's neighbor, but she looks great. Wen Yann Shih plays May Fong, Bob's pen pal. Cher and Meryl Streep also star as themselves. The DVD offers widescreen presentation, theatrical trailers, three featurettes( make-up, making of doc, and one about the Farrelly brothers), a very funny outtakes reel, and eight deleted/extended scenes. For a funny Farrelly brother's comedy with a lighter tone and great cast, check out Stuck on You!

Summary: The Farrelly Brothers' love story about conjoined twins
Review: "Stuck On You" is a movie where half of the funniest parts are in the trailer. But as is almost always the case in a Farrelly Brothers comedy, you come for the outrageous comedy and then get a healthy helping of heart because underneath all the "hair gel" and fat suits these guys are trying to make love stories. The Farrelly Brothers might be two of the biggest romantics making movies today. This is not one of their best films, but it does have its moments. In case you somehow missed the trailer "Stuck On You" is about Bo (Matt Damon) and Walter (Greg Kinnear) are a conjoined twins, what someone indelicately calls Siamese twins in the film despite the fact that the boys are American. The fundamental gag here is that they being joined together like this makes them twice as good as anybody else. You might be able to outrun a one legged man, but these guys have four legs so forget about it. They run a burger joint at Martha's Vineyard, work crossword puzzles together, and play goalie for their amateur team. About the only thing they do not do together is that Walter likes to act while Bo, who gets stage fright, has been e-mailing a girl in California for three years. Walt wants to be an actor and talks Bo into heading for California, where people are not as accommodating towards the strange pair as they are back in Massachusetts. Once again the Farrelly Brothers are dealing with a subject that would not be considered politically correct, but after dealing with other personal afflictions and handicaps in their earlier films, this is hardly a surprise. But they have such affection for their characters that you end up thinking that there is something wrong with people who do not find this humor funny. Bo and Walter do not consider themselves handicapped and they are so proficient at everything they do it is hard to fault them for their sense of self-assuredness. The funniest bits in this film, as the trailer indicated, are when the boys play sports. Baseball, football, hockey, or boxing, you do not want to mess with these boys, and when Walter wants to be an actor the stars align so that he gets to co-star with Cher in a television series. The joke actually ends up being on Cher, who thought that acting with a conjoined twin would get her out of her contract. Meanwhile, Bo finally gets to meet his online pen pal, May (Wen Yann Shih), but he is too shy to tell her that there is a reason Walter is always there on his left. Helping the boys keep their secret is April (Eva Mendes), who knows how things work in Southern California and who takes one look at the bridge of flesh joining the brothers and wants to know where they got it done. But eventually the truth comes out and the boys are seriously considering having the surgery that will allow them to live separate lives. Of course, we already know that not even surgery can really separate these two. Cher is not the only Oscar winning actress who shows she is a good sport in this film, because Meryl Streep is also along for the ride. As is usually the case in a Farrelly Brothers film, they work in people they have met who are not stars like Jack Nicholson. This time around it is Ray "Rocket" Valliere, a mentally challenged friend of the brothers who plays a waiter in the burger joint. Be sure to watch the credits where he thanks everybody for getting to make film. Critics keep wanting to take the Farrellys to task for making jokes about handicapped people, but they are never making fun of them and in the end "Stuck On You" is just another one of their love stories.

Summary: Greg Kinnear's version of "Summertime'
Review: Apparently a lot of people are talking about the version of 'Summertime' that Greg Kinnear sings at the end of the movie. There is a discussion about this on musicsearch.com and a Google search on '"Stuck On You" AND Summertime AND Greg Kinnear' turns up several references. According to the extras on the DVD, Greg Kinnear DOES sing, although he's probably lip synching to his own studio version. The song is a pretty close rendition of Billy Stewart's version of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin from his musical 'Porgy & Bess'. Awesome rendition!

Summary: Enjoyable...not best of Farrelly Brothers though
Review: Stuck on you made me laugh, there is no question. Very good comedy, a great storyline. How two conjoined twins set out to Hollywood, one of them is pursuing an acting career, the other has an online chat partner for three years he is meeting there in hollywood. Great acting, and great job with the prosthetics (although i am sure it was a pain for Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear to be stuck together for 3 months.) The only reason i dont give it 5 stars is probably just because i am a huge Farrelly Brothers fan and this isnt the absolute best movie they have made in my opinion, but it was still good.

Summary: Funny. Awsome soundtracks.
Review: Look for entertaining movies? Can't go wrong with this one. It's funny and has many lovely soundtracks.
Now I'm gonna look for Kinnear's version of the Summertime song, which he sang at the end of the movie.
