Stuck On You
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 and Walt 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 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.
Critic Reviews:
- " It is a satire on Hollywood hypocrisy, and is, without doubt, the (Farrelly) brothers' finest – and most subversive – film to date. " – Neil Norman
- " Sweet, slapstick and crude humor. " – Nell Minow
- " What first feels like thin skit material gets funnier and sweeter. Damon and Kinnear make a terrific team. " – David Ansen
