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.
