Plot: Matt Damon and 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.

Except for a few bright moments with its cast, Stuck on You doesn't stick with you in any way other than to remind you the Farrelly brothers have lost their touch.  --Kit Bowen (Hollywood.com)
In the end - and it takes nearly two interminable hours to get to that source of welcome relief - my profound dissatisfaction with Stuck on You is based on one simple characteristic: this movie is boring.  --James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear play conjoined twins with a burger franchise and a dream, in this surprisingly gentle, low-key holiday confection from the Farrelly brothers.--Stephanie Zacharek (Salon)
Pairing Greg Kinnear and Matt Damon as conjoined twins, along with the usually bulletproof Farrelly Brother formula, just isn’t enough to save the faintly disappointing comedy. It’s as pleasant to watch as any movie, but the big laughs are missing, and to see the Farrellys strike out in the joke department almost seems criminal. C+--Brian Orndorf (FilmJerk.com)
You can start howling now about the tastelessness of it, or you can actually see it and discover an unexpectedly sweet comedy about two brothers who, literally and figuratively, can't live without each other.  --Ron Weiskind (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
“Stuck on You” is a hilarious movie filled with great jokes and funny premises carried on by great characters and an intriguing story. 8/10--Oktay Ege Kozak (Movie-Vault.com)
Those expecting the annoying and regurgitated humor of Dumb and Dumber will be happily surprised with this new Farrelly brothers film.  --Rachel Gordon (FilmCritic.com)
There's a healthy dose here of brotherly love, sibling rivalry, and heart-tugging sentimentality. The only problem is, there aren't all that many laughs.  --Joshua 'Clark' Bertram (MovieWeb)
Silence of the clams: A once great institution, last seen on the brink of bankruptcy, has finally up and folded.  --B. Alan Orange (MovieWeb)
Stuck On You has been criticised for dissing the disabled, but its biggest offence is that it's not funny.  --Nev Pierce (BBC Films)
“Stuck on You” has its moments, but none of them register as highly as what we’ve come to expect from the Farrellys. Where are the bodily fluids? Where are the brutally honest moments? Where are the ridiculously crude lines? Comedy with heart is nice, but not if it gets in the way of the laughs.  --Kevin N. Laforest (Montreal Film Journal)
A two-hour, one-joke comedy that never gets old, "Stuck on You" is the most mature, consistently funny and satisfyingly sweet movie in the rollicking careers of brother filmmakers Bobby and Peter Farrelly.  --Jack Mathews (New York Daily News)
I laughed aloud during several scenes in this film and chuckled through most of the rest, although its final act did lose a bit of its steam. 7/10--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
Surprisingly sweet, good-natured comedy – low on bad taste gags and featuring strong comic performances from Kinnear and Damon.  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)

'STUCK on You" is an extremely well- acted, one-joke comedy about conjoined twins from Peter and Bobby Farrelly, who've gotten less gross - as well as less funny - and more sentimental in the years since they perfected the art form in "There's Something About Mary."  --Lou Lumenick (New York Post)
Stuck on You actually works better in its dramatic slice-of-life moments than in its comedy, which is more lightly amusing than fully satisfying. ... It is an engaging and affectionate motion picture that may have its fair share of problems, but treats its subject matter with surprising adeptness and leaves you with a smile in your heart.  --Dustin Putman (The Movie Insider)
Their latest hip comedy Farrelly brothers' 'Stuck on You' has an insistently warm humor--Mick LaSalle (San Francisco Chronicle)
Still, "Stuck on You" provides many solid chuckles, even if it never gets close to an all-out belly laugh.--Jeffrey M. Anderson (San Francisco Examiner)
Not the funniest Farrelly flick, but surely the sweetest. 6/10--Gary Panton (Movie Gazette)
