So what's it all about?
Two conjoined twins (Damon and Kinnear) live happily together running
a burger parlour in Martha's Vineyard. Then one decides to go to Hollywood
to become an actor. The other follows (obviously) although he is less
inclined, but wants his brother to be happy. Friction
develops between the brothers and they decide to be surgically separated,
only to discover they were happier together.
Is it any good?
Stuck on You is directed by the Farley brothers, who also did Something
About Mary, and Me, Myself and Irene, so if you like that kind comedy,
you'll enjoy this one, although it is not as vulgar. It's a mildly
entertaining romantic comedy with a couple of good laughs.
The highlight of the movie, however, is how well Damon and Kinnear act
together while joined at the hip, or at the kidney, in this case. A
particularly well choreographed scene features the twins making 12
hamburgers in under three minutes. Meryl Streep and Cher (who plays
herself) also have small
roles in the movie, which adds a bit more interest.
Score: 2/5
How about those special features?
The dvd has quite a collection of added features, including
commentaries by the directors, a number of deleted scenes, bloopers and an
interesting insert on the technology used to join Damon and Kinnear.
Also of interest is a short snippet on the making of Aliens vs Predator.
Score: 3/5
Best part:
The fight scene with Damon and Kinnear against a bunch of deadbeats in a
bar.
