In Martha's Vineyard, Mass., conjoined twins Walt and Bob Tenor make the best of their handicap by being the fastest grill cooks in town. While outgoing Walt hopes to one day become a famous actor, shy Bob prefers to stay out of the spotlight. When a fading Hollywood actress, Cher, decides to get her show "Honey and the Beaze" cancelled, she hires Walt -- and his brotherly appendage -- as her costars. But their addition surprisingly achieves the opposite.

Frankly, I didn't expect much when I saw this film but boy was I wrong.Greg Kinnear and Matt Damon romp in great fun as conjoined twins. Living in Martha's Vineyard and owning a fast food burger joint, Greg gets the Hollywood itch so off the brothers go.Amazing to see how the television show was able to edit out Damon in the show Kinnear stars in. Fun to watch how at the beginning, the brothers are able to fool Damon's girl, the latter he met online, that there is no problem.Cher plays herself, but a true bitch if ever there were one. She feels that by casting the brothers in the show, the network will renege and she may get out of her contract to do it.Of course, the show is a hit and Kinnear becomes popular. Yet, the time comes when the brothers decide to literally separate through surgery and the rest of this enjoyable film deals with their identity problems after being separated. Cher's advice to Kinnear, showing her change for the better, was uplifting to view as was Meryl Streep's appearance as the star they meet in Hollywood and later plays in their play production back at home-a musical based on Bonnie and Clyde, a true joy to watch.

Stuck On You is a great comedy movie with a well written storyline that is filled with plenty of hilarious and cringe worthy scenes and a cast that clearly had a lot of fun starring in this movie.I am a huge fan of the Farrelly brothers,and while I certainly don't think this movie is anywhere near as memorable as movies like Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary,it still is packed with plenty of moments that will make you know it is definitely a Farrelly brothers movie,and it had me laughing all the way through.I was surprised that they got Matt Damon to be in this,it's nothing I like what he has done before and nothing he will ever do again,but it was great to see him take on something very different,and the chemistry between him and Greg Kinnear is what makes this movie.Stuck On You is certainly not the Farrelly brothers finest movie,but I would still recommend it to fans and to anyone looking for a good comedy.Two Siamese twins find each other "separating" when they learn that they have two very different dreams after one brother forces to other to go to LA with him in order to pursue an acting career.Best Performance: Greg Kinnear Worst Performance: Cher

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.
