Description
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.

Key opinion
Stuck on You is a divisive comedy-drama that attempts to humanize the lives of conjoined twins through a blend of physical humor and sentimental storytelling. While some viewers appreciate its charming, earnest message about brotherhood and overcoming physical limitations, others criticize it for being narratively flat, tonally inconsistent, and lacking genuine laughs.
| Acting | Eva Mendes and Cher deliver lively performances that provide much-needed energy to the film's lighter, comedic moments. | |
| Theme | The film avoids mean-spirited mockery of physical disability, choosing instead to portray the protagonists as resilient and capable individuals. | |
| Humor | The comedic impact is inconsistent, with some finding the humor forced or muted compared to the Farrelly brothers' earlier, more slapstick-driven work. | |
| Acting | The lead performances are polarized, with some viewers finding Damon and Kinnear's chemistry unconvincing or a mismatch for the genre, while others view them as earnest. | |
| Screenplay | The narrative balance is debated, as some find the shift between quirky comedy and dramatic elements to be a successful blend, while others see it as an aimless, uneven mess. | |
| Originality | The film's depiction of the twins' lives is divisive, with critics split between those who value the 'fairytale' optimism and those who find the lack of realism and Hollywood polish frustrating. | |
| Ending | The ending is widely viewed as a conventional and predictable conclusion to an otherwise unconventional premise. |
