Stuck on You
A Movie Review |
|
 |
I hate to say it but it almost seems like the Farrelly
Brothers have forgotten how to make a hilarious PG-13 movie,
especially when the jokes seem to have been handed to them on a
platter, but as much potential as there was for "Stuck on You," it
just won’t go down as one of those Farrelly Brothers movies that you
will turn into every time it’s on cable. I think the boys should just
say the heck with it and head back into R territory. Sure, the kids
won’t be allowed to see it, but I’m not about the kids, I’m about my
own having a good time at the movies.In any case, "Stuck on You"
gives us Bob (Matt Damon) and Walt (Greg Kinnear). They’re conjoined
twins, stuck near the midsection, with the both of them sharing a
liver. Bob is happy working in their burger joint where their teamwork
in filling orders is unmatched in any fast food joint, but Walt wants
to be an actor, so Bob tags along to Hollywood to let Walt try to
achieve his dream. Yes, they hook up with an over-the-top manager,
hang out with a complete, hot, Hollywood airhead in April (Eva
Mendes), and Cher, playing herself, hires Walt in the hopes of getting
cancelled the TV series she doesn’t want to do. But, surprise,
surprise, Walt becomes a hit. Meanwhile, Bob is tortured because out
in Hollywood is his internet buddy, May (Wen Yann Shih), who Bob is in
love with but hasn’t told her that he’s stuck to his brother. Ha, ha,
comedy ensues. I wish.
Now don’t get me wrong, "Stuck on You" does have its moments, but
with the reputation the Farrelly brothers build with the likes of
"Dumb and Dumber," "Kingpin," and "There’s Something About Mary," you
just expect more. Like "Shallow Hal," "Stuck on You" just doesn’t give
it to you, it’s almost as if they want to make fun of people but don’t
want to offend anybody anymore. I think the potential is still there
for the boys to make another great comedy, they probably just need to
be a little less worried about picking on people.
"Stuck on You" would make a decent rental, or even a matinee, but
it is nowhere the level of comedy we expect from the Farrellys.
They’ve always had a knack at exploiting physically challenged, while
still sounding sweet. Sadly that knack seems to be waning in place of
trying to be more politically correct. It’s 2 ½ stars out of 5 for
"Stuck on You."
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!! |
