After tackling schizophrenia, obesity, and the inner workings of the vascular system (as represented by an animated
Chris Rock),
Peter and
Bobby Farrelly set their comedic sights on a set of conjoined twins in this broad
comedy. 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.
