Review of Stuck on You! (1983) by Brandon W — 06 Dec 2014

With a premise like this so weird, how could I not watch this? I really enjoyed Stuck On You. With two people being stuck together, it would've not worked if the main actors were terrible, but Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear are really good and really funny.

The effects on them being stuck together look really real, and the chemistry of them are great. The movie may seem like a one joke premise, but it does have a decent story and it shows the negative side of conjoined twins while having a positive side of it, but not in a comedic way but more of a drama way.

When it does make fun of it however, it really felt in bad taste, it wasn't funny, and was just down right mean-spirited. But it's only one scene when they do that, and it has lots of funny moments in the movie to overcome that.

The cameos are very good, and when I thought it was going to this route, it actually doesn't. It is a little too long, and when it goes to black which I thought were going to be over, it kept going.

Stuck On You is an interesting take on conjoined twins and makes it really funny while trying not to be offensive.
