Tagline: Brother Stick Together.
Bob (Matt Damon) and Walt (Greg Kinnear) Tenor are conjoined “Siamese” twins who are winners at everything — from flipping burgers at the diner they own, or performing miraculous feats on ice for their local hockey team. They never leave each other’s side… and wouldn’t have it any other way. That is, until Walt decides he wants to follow his dreams of making it as a Hollywood actor, and persuades his reluctant sibling to go along for the ride. Tinseltown may never recover as Bob and Walt find fame, romance and a new perspective on their inseparable bond.
Outrageous comedy and sentiment from the Farrelly brothers are joined at the hip as Academy Award winner Matt Damon and Oscar nominee Greg Kinnear play conjoined twin brothers Bob and Walt Tenor who, literally, never leave each other?s side. Their unique bond leads to wild complications when Walt decides to pursue his dreams of becoming an actor and persuades his reluctant sibling to go along for the ride.
Bob and Walt Tenor are small-town legends who excel at sports, and who are the proud owners of a fast-food restaurant where their four hands work the grill at lightning speed. When the acting bug bites Walt, he convinces Bob to honor their childhood pact to never hold back the other, and the brothers head west for the bright lights of Hollywood. Bob and Walt make fast friends with their sexy neighbor (Eva Mendes), who helps Walt land a grizzled agent (Seymour Cassel) whose idea of a prime gig for Walt is a porn film.
Things finally begin to look up for Walt when the boys encounter legendary diva ? and Academy Award winning actress ? Cher. Looking to sabotage her new television series, of which she wants no part, Cher casts Walt as her co-star. Instead of dooming the show, Walt propels it to the top of the ratings, and the brothers became instant celebrities. But their real adventure is only beginning, as Bob finds romance with a longtime cyber-pal, and the brothers make a decision that will forever change their lives. Whatever happens to the boys, one thing is certain: nothing will ever come between them.
Stuck on You is a 2003 comedy film directed by the Farrelly brothers and starring Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear as conjoined twins, whose conflicting aspirations provide both conflict and humorous situations, in particular when one of them wishes to move to Hollywood to pursue a career as an actor.
The film broke even on its $55 million production budget with $65,784,503 worldwide, its box office draw considerably underperformed the Farrelly Brothers’ previous hits. It only managed third place in its opening weekend box office (US) despite having the largest theater count of any release that weekend (December 12–14, 2003).
The song “Human” recorded by Cher, who appears in the film, and produced by David Kahne was included in the soundtrack (Flynn cover). There was no official release, but in Germany the song was released on a promotional CD of the soundtrack called “Unzertrennlich” and that version clocks 3:49. The original 4:25 version was never released. The song can be heard during the end credits of the film and is played during a scene in a club. This is the first Farrelly Brothers film not to have an official soundtrack.
The song “Moonlight Feels Right” by Starbuck, written and produced by lead singer/keyboardist Bruce Blackman also appears in the film. Pete Yorn recorded a cover of the Albert Hammond classic “It Never Rains in Southern California” for the film, and like the aforementioned Cher song, remains unreleased. The Kings of Leon songs “California Waiting”, “Molly Chambers” and “Holy Roller Novocaine” are all featured in the film as well, from the band’s first EP Holy Roller Novacaine.
Greg Kinnear’s version of “Summertime” is an almost note-for-note cover of the Billy Stewart version. Eight minutes out in the movie, while at a bar, Morten Abel’s song “Welcome Home” is played. The country song played over the closing credits The Fear of Being Alone is sung by Reba Schappell, one of a set of conjoined twins who is mentioned in the film.
