Source-derived summary

Stuck on You is a 2003 American comedy film written and directed by the Farrelly brothers, and starring Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear as conjoined twin brothers, whose differing 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.

Stuck on You was released by 20th Century Fox on December 12, 2003. The film received positive reviews from critics and grossed $65.8 million against a $55 million budget.

Plot

Conjoined twins Bob and Walt Tenor try to live as normally as possible. Outgoing and sociable Walt aspires to be a Hollywood actor, whereas Bob is shy and introverted.

The twins run Quikee Burger, a diner in Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard, guaranteeing free meals if orders are not completed in three minutes, showing how skilled and in sync Bob and Walt are. Walt is comfortable interacting with women, but Bob is shyer. He has a long-distance relationship with pen pal May Fong from California, whom he has never met and has not told he is a conjoined twin.

Walt stars in a one-man show, while Bob stays as much as possible in the background, as he has stage fright. As the play is successful, Walt follows his dream to Hollywood, persuading his hesitant brother to go along for the ride.

Editorial summary

“Stuck on You (film)” enters the record as 2003 film directed by Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Stuck, film and directed can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewBest approached as a cultural-object dossier: authorship and date matter, but circulation and reception often explain the wider significance. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2003—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—2003-01-01, 2004-01-01—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Stuck, film and directed.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Stuck on You (film)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Stuck, film and directed provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q301077. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2003.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
