Written and directed by the non-twin Farrellys, Stuck on You stars Greg Kinnear and Matt Damon as, respectively, Walt and Bob Tenor, brothers who are so close, they're quite literally joined at the hip. While life in their sleepy, welcoming Martha's Vineyard burgh is comfortable -- the Tenor brothers are the quickest short-order chefs in town, unstoppable hockey goalies, and the most unlikely pair of dinner-theater thespians -- Walt longs to make good on his lifelong dream of becoming a professional actor. The shy, reticent Bob acquiesces to his self-assured brother's wish to move to Hollywood, in part to meet his longtime Internet romantic interest, May (Wen Yann Shih). The twosome finds Tinseltown to be less accommodating than life back east, however, as Walt and Bob come up against flea-ridden apartments, surly bar patrons, and a paucity of roles for actors with an extraneous person attached to them. Things begin to look up when they run into Cher on a studio backlot: Eager to end her commitment to star in a cheesy detective show, she casts Walt as her co-star, hoping the program will fail. When her plan backfires, however, the brothers find themselves on the cusp of fame and fortune -- and consider undergoing the risky surgery that could separate them forever. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Critic Reviews

David Rooney, Variety
A one-joke affair about conjoined twins that feels like it bypassed the scripting stage and was filmed directly from the pitch, the comedy remains resoundingly unfunny despite the strained efforts of stars Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
A brilliant enactment of the comedy of denial.
Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine
The Farrellys need to remember this: Sappiness is easy, comedy is hard.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Stuck on You is hilarious -- but it's also sweet, in a demented sort of way.
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
It's entertaining, not groundbreaking.
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic
By the Farrellys' standards, Stuck on You is pretty tame, keeping the gutter humor to a minimum.
Nell Minow, Common Sense Media
Sweet, slapstick and crude humor.
Cole Smithey, ColeSmithey.com
In spite of a convincing make-up job and the best efforts of its cast, "Stuck On You" falls as far short of the mark as the Farrelly Brothers' "Shallow Hal" (2001).
Kam Williams, Princeton Town Topics
When not overindulging in birth defect humor, this shock comedy divides its attention between two equally-annoying sub-themes: degrading females and prominent product placements.
Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness
An inoffensive one-joke valentine to freaks and geeks.
Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Os Farrelly alcançaram um estranho resultado: apesar de não ter rido uma vez sequer durante o filme, confesso que passei a me importar com o destino de seus protagonistas.
Joe Utichi, FilmFocus
An entertaining comedy that gets drowned in too much sap and fails because of it.

Doesn't get the laughs of some other Farrelly Brothers movies, (Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary and Kingpin still being their best), but Stuck on You displays a humanity and sensitivity that's absent from a lot of their films as they go somewhere where I've never seen another movie go: a story about conjoined twins. It's a decent skewering of skin-deep Hollywood, but ironically, it's one that never quite gets beneath the surface. The Cher bits were good, though - why did she take this role? - and this is one of my favourite Greg Kinnear performances... and if you know my reviews, you know the guy annoys the heck out of me, so that's saying a lot. A few great jokes and some funny cameos, but overall there's nothing too special here.

Hilarious! A must see!
danny d

a massively funny, smart, and underrated comedy. in the vein of the comedies on the 90's, damon and kinnear played off of each other perfectly and the humor worked for me from start to finish.
Wildaly M

Not that funny.

this is a movie about conjoined twins, who are joined at the hip and they share a liver, their unique bond leads to wild complications when Greg decides to pursue his dreams and persuades reluctant sibling Matt to go along for the ride when all of the humor and excess is cut away from this film, it actually amounts to be quite a tender hearted movie about brothers. they allow each other to live out their dreams
Tony G

Forgettable mediocrity almost saved by Damon and Kinnear's glee.
Richard C

it was actually kind of funny. B-

The plot of the movie is priceless, but it actually managed to have a lot of heart felt moments. It's a great light comedy that doesn't get old.

Forgettable, but occasionally hilarious comedy about conjoined twins. It's a pretty cut and dry comedy, but both Damon and Kinnear bring a lot of enthusiasm to their characters. Watchable, but certainly missable.

This film really isn't all that bad. It's certainly not as tasteless as I thought it would be! The comedy element is somewhat lacking but as a nice feel good film it?s OK! Seymour Cassel is brilliant, Cher and Streep are good sports and even the Frankie Muniz cameo raised a wry smile. I still don't understand why Griffin Dunne isn't a more successful actor (directing aside).

Kinnear and Damon as conjoined twins? I'm laughing already. Add to that in the first minute we see them trying to do loads of stuff but stuck to each other. It's very funny and very sweet, with great supporting turns from Eva Mendes and Wen Yann Shih, well they're very pretty and quite nice. Cher playing a bitch version of herself is a real treat in the same way as seeing stars on Extras lampooning themselves. It's an average story though and goes on just a little bit too long.
Josh L

Despite the fact that the movie wasn't as funny as other Farrelly brothers comedies, Stuck On You has considerable charm and was just alot of fun.

Like before in Shallow Hal, the Farrelly brothers walk the fine line between being politically incorrect and sending their messages of tolerance with a pretty funny story of conjoined twins. How they manage the oddest situations at their job and sports includes a few pretty good laughs and once they come to Hollywood, having to deal with the mechanisms of the acting business, stars like Cher or Meryl Streep show a good sense of humor by not taking themselves too seriously either. Towards the end the movie turns maybe a tad too melancholic for the Farrelly's standards and made me miss their older chaotic days of Dumb and Dumber or Kingpin. Still, how they use handicapped actors in everyday roles to show that they are people like everyone else proves that they got the heart at the right spot. Entertaining.
Candy R

A bit of a strange one. Matt and Greg are conjoined twins who have to do everything together but they realise they have to separate to fulfil their dreams. They are separated but then realise they need each other again.
Tim B

Got a little boring after the initial setup gags.
Stuart B

Poor

The Farrelly Bros. did an amazing job on Something About Mary. Sadly, all of their films will be compared to that one and none will measure up to it. The movie is cute-- it works, but it's not great. Cher could've done without this dud in her resumé, but maybe SHE… More
The Farrelly Bros. did an amazing job on Something About Mary. Sadly, all of their films will be compared to that one and none will measure up to it. The movie is cute-- it works, but it's not great. Cher could've done without this dud in her resumé, but maybe SHE contributed to the movie's dudity herself.
Aaron N

Not constantly hilarious, but it has a lot of heart.
James A

So bad it made me want to watch a new Jim Carrey movie.

Bob (Matt Damon) and Walt (Greg Kinnear) are conjoined twins (joined at their lower trunks--they share a liver) from Massachusetts. They own a burger joint named "Quickie Burger" and Walt has a love of acting. Walt decides to move to California to try his luck at the big time, and although Bob is initially reluctant, he also has a beautiful "Internet pal" in California who he's been talking to for more than three years.
