Don't listen to the negative reviews

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Stuck on You (2003): Dir: Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly / Cast: Matt Damon, Greg Kinnear, Eva Mendes, Cher, Wen Yann Shih: The one problem with this film is that it's not as funny as it should be. It is like Peter and Bobby Farrelly have caved in to the controversy surrounding the vulgar humour in their films. Among their best work is Kingpin and There's Something About Mary. Yet this film is touching in its presentation of friendship of brothers joined at the hip and work in a fast food restaurant. Matt Damon has a romance over the Internet whom he hasn't informed of his condition. He also suffers from stage fright when Greg Kinnear wants desperately to be an actor and receives opportunity. Tension surfaces when the possibility of separation occurs and the possible dangers. What truly comes across there is the reality of their handicap being highlighted as normal. Cher is fantastic playing herself struggling to break a contract only to have it turn around and backfire. Eva Mendes provides laughs as an airhead actress who will obviously end up with one of the boys. Wen Yann Shih plays another romantic interest to the Damon side but she doesn't realize until too late, why they are constantly together. Well made comedy that isn't quite on the same level of humour as previous Farrelly brothers films yet it still works. Interesting comedy examines deformation and friendship that holds everything together. Score: 9 / 10

Stuck on You is a light sweet comedy. It takes a while to get going. Usually comedies are based on people insulting each other or being cruel to each other. This one is about conjoined twins who are kind and considerate to each other and to everyone else. It is a wonderful movie to take your kids to. These two are great role models. I have never seen a movie about conjoined twins, so all the gags were fresh for me. There is so much novel comic potential. My jaw dropped a number of times at the acrobatic skill of Greg Kinnear and Matt Matt Damon. I can't see how they could have done it with stunt doubles. They do an eye popping burger making ballet reminiscent of Tom Cruise in Cocktail. They have a fight that would put the Chinese martial artist dance moves to shame. Cher plays herself and spoofs herself. Meryl Street plays herself and spoofs her Mama Mia appearance in a musical Bonnie and Clyde. It was a romp and so much fun. The main plot as based around one of the twins wanting to be an actor while the other finds the idea abhorrent. They find ways to accommodate. It is a beautiful movie because the brothers so enjoy each other and care for the other's welfare. Their good will tends to rub off on everyone they encounter, in unexpected ways.

Funny and touching account of Siamese twins (Kinnear and Damon) who enjoy a relatively normal life inside their unique situation, Kinnear a budding actor, encouraged and supported by his brother Damon, nervous about meeting his online love (Shih), uncertain how to reveal the 'closeness' between himself and his brother. Eventually Kinnear lands a role in a sitcom (creative framing and editing taking care of Damon) and things seem to be on the up, then the prospect of surgical separation offers a chance to become independent.Surprising cast includes Cher as a diva who helps Kinnear land his first role as a means to infuriate the studio for disrespecting her, while Seymour Cassel plays Kinnear's wheelchair-bound manager, Griffin Dunne pops up in a cameo as a TV director and roll out the red carpet for Meryl Streep who plays herself with a few pearls of wisdom on how to succeed despite yourself.Damon does a cracker parody of Mike Tyson in one hilarious scene, showcasing some comedic skills he doesn't often display, while there's plenty of laughs in general as you'd expect from the premise. Beneath the comedy, there also a sensitive story, and not as cheesy as these films sometimes convey. I agree with another reviewer who commented that the film is not your typical comic-pathos, but has been mis-promoted as a run-of-the-mill blithering slapstick farce - both Kinnear and Damon's characters are genuinely drawn and their dialogue is witty, erudite and demonstrative of two quietly assertive personalities who've learned to be self-deprecating about their disability, but not subdued by prejudice. Fortunately, you can take or leave the message, the comedy stands alone.

Stuck on You was a pretty funny idea but I just wasn't sure if they would be able to pull it off. Honestly, I wasn't looking forward to seeing this movie at all because I thought it was going to be dumb and full of stupid humor. I was so wrong. Never judge a book by its cover people. They really pulled this film off. I was pleasantly surprised. The jokes and puns were clever and original. I laughed throughout this entire movie.I was amazed at the team work between Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear. They had great chemistry. I can't imagine the amount of practice it took to perfect the coordination to make this movie in one piece.There was a random, unexpected fight scene stuck in there. It was very impressive and unexpected for this type of movie. I really appreciated the contrast in background music as the fight was going on. The moves were very cool and funny but they made the intense fight far less intense which was a good thing because this is supposed to be a light comedy. They were successful at keeping the light feel of the movie even though asses were getting kicked.Matt Damon is an excellent actor. I always realize this when I see him play a variety of roles. He is quite talented. He is often known for his good looks and charm but he is able to play the innocent, cute dork too. I like that about him. He is always able to transform himself into the character he is playing. That is talent.Overall, I really enjoyed this film. I was surprised at how much I liked it. It was quite funny. It was perfect for a quiet night in with a friend and a big bag of popcorn.
