Following the outrageous comedies THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY, SHALLOW HAL, and DUMB AND DUMBER, the Farrelly brothers present yet another hilarious 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 (Damon) and Walt (Kinnear) 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 (Damon) 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--this is one of the best gags in the film. However, as the brothers are shown playing hockey, fighting kung-fu style, cruising for babes in a bar, and taking on basically any other feat imaginable, the laughs only get better. Trouble comes when suave, confident Walt decides to pursue a Hollywood acting career, and Bob's stage fright, panic attacks, and shyness present a personality clash. Nonetheless, they get to meet Meryl Streep, they land a starring role in a television show with Cher, and they find some nice girlfriends. The Farellys keep their signature gross-out humour to a minimum with this likeable film, and provide some truly great, easily digestible physical comedy.

Feel-good comedy about brotherly love that revels in slapstick, but is short of jokes.
Okay, I gave this a try. And apart from the odd funny moment, it was the biggest piece of tripe I've ever witnessed. I have always rated Matt Damon as an actor... until now. His Agent deserves a bullet.
Think of the Farrelly Borthers and you think of 'There's Something About Mary' and 'Shallow Hal' and you think very funny, offbeat films that capture the imagination. Whilst this follows a similar concept there is something magical lacking that appears in the other films mentioned. Maybe this is down to the acting? I don't think so as both Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear are excellent. Maybe the script? Strong possibility....
Will Smith's hilarious romantic comedy, Hitch, is due to be released on DVD in the UK on July 4th, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced.

This film signifies a change in direction for Fresh Prince actor Smith, having concentrated recently on more hard-hitting action roles such as I, Robot, Bad Boys II, Men in Black II and Ali. Smith's stars alongside... Read more
