Touches You

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Blistering performances.

The Farrelly brother's stuck on you is a decent watch simply because of the bizzarity of the premise. As you'd have guessed this is a story of two brothers who are co-joined at the hip. The film is surprisingly decent despite the feeling that the jokes will fall flat or worse- offend. And this is down to the talent of leads Matt Damon and Greg kinnear. This film is mostly forgotten and that is because it isn't anything special.

Stuck on You is the perfect comedy, with two of the best actors going around. It is light comedy, through its character moments and is full of heart.It is the case where if you don't invest in the characters, you can't possibly find it funny. The film is endearing while also putting you in stitches. The best example of that, is when May comes to see Bob and he and Walt hop in the car and proceed to keep up the facade of not revealing that they are conjoined and Bob's reluctance to advance the situation, while Walt tries to help him along. Wen Yann Shih gives a truly special performance embodying Bob's dream girl and is quite alluring in a sweet lovable way, Cher is good also. I'm not much for comedies, but this is my jam. The reason this film is poorly regarded by the masses, I don't know. They can watch a comic book film or "Star Wars" and accept that world and the characters in it, yet can't accept conjoined twins and their lives playing out in a humorous and stretched manner. Maybe they were just expecting some crude jokey movie and didn't want to care. All I know is I love it and that'll do fine and the "Summertime" song at the end is killer and is better than the original.

Stuck on You (2003): Dir: Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly / Cast: Matt Damon, Greg Kinnear, Eva Mendes, Cher, Wen Yann Shih: The one problem with this film is that it's not as funny as it should be. It is like Peter and Bobby Farrelly have caved in to the controversy surrounding the vulgar humour in their films. Among their best work is Kingpin and There's Something About Mary. Yet this film is touching in its presentation of friendship of brothers joined at the hip and work in a fast food restaurant. Matt Damon has a romance over the Internet whom he hasn't informed of his condition. He also suffers from stage fright when Greg Kinnear wants desperately to be an actor and receives opportunity. Tension surfaces when the possibility of separation occurs and the possible dangers. What truly comes across there is the reality of their handicap being highlighted as normal. Cher is fantastic playing herself struggling to break a contract only to have it turn around and backfire. Eva Mendes provides laughs as an airhead actress who will obviously end up with one of the boys. Wen Yann Shih plays another romantic interest to the Damon side but she doesn't realize until too late, why they are constantly together. Well made comedy that isn't quite on the same level of humour as previous Farrelly brothers films yet it still works. Interesting comedy examines deformation and friendship that holds everything together. Score: 9 / 10

Bob (Matt Damon) and Walt Tenor (Greg Kinnear) are conjoined twins living in Martha's Vineyard. They are cooks/owners of a diner, ace goaltenders, all around good guys, and so much more. Bob is not so great with the ladies except for his pen pal. Walt is the more confident one and dreams of big time acting career in Hollywood. When they get to Hollywood, they meet April (Eva Mendes) and Bob's pen pal May.The Farrelly brothers are just flailing away. I don't know where the comedy is suppose to be coming from. Are we laughing at them? They seem perfectly fine. While there isn't anything particularly funny, the two guys have a nice sweet chemistry. So it actually works as a brotherly drama. Nevertheless, the Farrellys are trying so hard to make jokes. It's distracting to have most of the comedy fall flat. The movie actually works best when I forget that they're conjoined. The conjoined part just takes away the comedy and distracts more than helps.
