“Stuck on You,” the latest Farrelly brothers film starring Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear, was released in theaters last Friday.

The film follows the journey of con-joined twins Bob (Damon) and Walt Tenor (Kinnear). In the movie, Walt is an aspiring actor, but Bob has terrible stage fright. Nevertheless, Bob agrees to move to Hollywood so that his brother can pursue a career in the film industry. The two hit it big when Cher, who has a cameo in the film, recruits Bob to play the role of the leading man in her new television series.

Overall, “Stuck on You” can be described as a feel-good movie, with strong themes devoted to brotherly love, independence and overcoming obstacles.

The duration of “Stuck on You” is about two hours. Although this may appear short in comparison to the almost three hours of “The Two Towers” or four of “Titanic,” the movie actually seems much too long due to the predictability of the plot, and the end is more of a relief than a conclusion.

It is funny, yes, with some great jokes as well, but there are a lot of funny movies out there. What makes a comedy special is a rare type of humor, which “Stuck on You” does not possess. There is a mixture of bad jokes and good messages, leaving the plot jumping back and forth between a naughty comedy and a nice comedy.

The Farrelly brothers have written and directed such other works as “Something about Mary,” “Dumb and Dumber” and “Shallow Hal.” All three of the aforementioned films are favorites of our generation. While “Stuck on You” does retain some of that signature political-incorrectness, it has no place in the same category of classics.

Actor Matt Damon first declined the role of Bob Tener, but after having read the script, he willingly agreed to do the fi lm.

The character is a very different one for him, yet both Damon and Kinnear conquer the Teners extremely well.

In conclusion, “Stuck on You” is a waste of both time and money. It is funny but predictable, with a great cast list playing one-dimensional characters. If the need to see this movie arises, just remember that it could be a potentially good experience...as long as the viewer does not think too hard.
