Oh my lord this film is so ridiculous it's funny. Two brothers, Siamese twins who share a liver. Run a burger joint, play hockey, other sports and live their lives always together. The one brother played by Matt Damon refuses to have the operation to separate them as there is no danger to him as he has most of the shared liver. His brother played by Greg Kinnear wants the surgery even though he knows his chances of survival are slim. He puts Matt Damon through all sorts of tortures to get him to change his mind. I love the scene where they get into a physical fight on the court house lawn. That is where Matt Damon finally gives in and agrees to the surgery. Problem is they have been together for so long they cannot function on their own. At the end of the film they end up using velcro to bind themselves back together. This film was not a big hit, but very comical and the two actors compliment each other in this films setting. Happy viewing and I hope you can find the humor I found so ridiculous in this film. It's definately worth a look.

Greg Kinnear's version of "Summertime'

"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!"

The Farrelly Brothers' love story about conjoined twins

""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."

Surprisingly entertaining

"I rented this DVD simply to see how bad it could possibly be, and had every expectation to be thoroughly, entirely bored and wishing the movie would end thirty minutes into it. Imagine my surprise when I found that I was laughing, and when I wasn't laughing, I was enjoying the setup, and especially the camaraderie of Kinnear and Damon. Seeing the two of them in the trailers, and just trying to imagine them working together didn't fly in my mind. Yet on screen they played off each other quite well.

The premise of the movie is described in other reviews, as well as the Editorial Review, so I won't regurgitate any of that information here.

Were the situations preposterous? Sure they were. Conjoined twins running a burger shack, working with an efficiency that would make Ford Motor Company jealous is implausible - but that was O.K., because it worked. I didn't view the scene where they worked hard to prepare a gargantuan feast in under 3 minutes and think to myself, "God, this just doesn't work". Instead, I chuckled.

Cher did a great parody of herself - come on, dating Frankie Muniz? That was hysterical.

Sure, the movie was simple, and had a simple plot - two people come to terms with who they really are. But in the simplest stories we usually find the brightest gems, and I thought this really was a gem. My roommate disagreed. He fell asleep. So yes, I understand that many didn't find some of the physical humor funny and some may even have found it offensive. I didn't.
