Review:

Tim: Stuck on You is so wrong in so many ways, but it is actually very funny. That is what the Farrelly brothers do best, and this is one of their better films.

This movie works only because of its two stars, Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear. They are incredible and so fun together. I never would have expected these two actors to work so well. They are very opposite of each other, but similar in more ways than you might expect. They are simply terrific on screen together.

The Farrelly brothers are so great at making comedies that you know they are reliable and this film will provide quite a bit of laughs. They bring their trademark humor to a film that has no business working, but does.
br> The supporting cast is pretty decent. Eva Mendes causes a few laughs. Cher is not particularly good at all. The film makes a joke about her poor acting career, but her performance.. as herself... is pretty unbelievable. Read that again. That is very bad. Watch for a great cameo by Frankie Munoz- so wrong, but so funny.

In the middle of this comedy, the Farrelly brothers manage to have a very touching bond between two brothers that is because of their love for each other, not because they are stuck together. This is the best aspect of the film.

Unfortunately, the film has some flaws as well. The laughs occur too few and far between and there is quite a bit of dead time. There are some very funny jokes, but others aren't funny at all. While this is no way their best comedy, it isn't the Farrelly brothers' worst, either.
