Why has nobody picked up on the fact that conjoined twins are ALWAYS identical. They arise from ONE fertilized egg, which either fails to split fully, or splits but then becomes reattached. Thus, both twins would look the same... To have one twin looking like Matt Damon and the other like Greg Kinnear is a biological impossibility.
You'd think someone had bothered to check this fact in preproduction...
Because they look alike, it's just that one has the liver, so the other has aged more rapidly. Now, STFU.
shareYou know, this is a BS tread. I am a twin and have been for 44 years. I know how twins are made and the biological issuses involved. Regardless, It didn't stop me from enjoying this movie. Get on and get a life.
shareOK, I'm not going to slam anyone for casting who they did, because I am a conjoined twin, and bear little resembelance to my sibling. But thats nothing compared to how annoying and offensive the rest of the movie is. I don't care if one of them was purple and the other green - it was still messed up.
shareYEAH RIGHT. ARE YOU COJOINED? THEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BLOODY HELL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
shareDoes it bother you that Superman can fly?
And what about that stupid "Mask" movie where a wooden mask turned Jim Carey into a live cartoon? That could never happen!
Chevy Chase and his family would have been arrested and thrown in jail after breaking in to an amusement park like they did in "Vacation." And BTW, those rides don't run themselves! That movie was totally fake!
The entire set up in "Stuck on You" was supposed to be ridiculous and could never happen.
If this upsets you, please be sure to reply in really big, all-cap letters and tell me how angry you are. Your anger and big letters totally intimidate me and will force me to post that you are right and the Farrelly Bros. should be whipped.
Well said GMEllis625 =).

gokool-david,
you obviously have NO LIFE if a discussion about a fictional movie is bothering you that much.
go outside,take a deep breath,......then find the highest point in your local area,and jump off it.
do the world a favor,go take a nap sunshine.
How many people really care..anything is possible in a movie,movies get us away from reality for a short time and really..it is just a movie!

My wife and I saw a pair of conjoined twins at Target a couple of months ago. We'd just come from having a couple of drinks and appetizers and were driving past the store when my wife exclaimed, "My god, that girl has two heads!" Thinking she must have snuck in a couple of drinks when I wasn't looking I gave her a "Yeah, right." She was so sure that she parked and we went in to confirm she wasn't drunk and/or hallucinating. She wasn't, as we saw these sisters.

This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.
so your mad that they look different? so for you to be happy they would have needed to cast twins for their parts in the movie? damn...
shareDOGS HAVE CLEANER TOUNGES THAN PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O_o

How about this. One bleached their hair,t he other got a facelift.
There.
Happy?
Uhh, it's called Suspension of Belief.
shareThats the first thing I thought when this movie came on, but you know what? after about 10 minutes i realised it didn't really matter at all and it's a comedy movie so I didn't let it bug me.
lighten up guys and try and enjoy a movie without it having to be 100% scientificly accurate.
I wish I could think of something witty to put here... but I can't.
this is probably the worst thread ive seen on imdb, yet i am still posting, madness.
anyway its called artistic licence or you could benefit from suspension of disbelief.
and like people have said one of em had more of the liver than the other, and we know that if people dont get full use of their liver they look like they age quicker :-)
by any means this is a quality film (imho 3.5/5) it has a lot of heart, and isnt as crass as you might expect, i was pleasently suprised.
FYI, it is a technique used in film and literature
Suspension of disbelief

( Have you noticed that Micky Mouse talks? )
This is no worse than the movie "Twins", where Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarznegger play fraternal twins.
shareIsn't there is a word called Fiction?
Also, they the issue is about the Liver being more inside of Matt... Duh!
This is one helluva Sweeeeet Movie!
This whole thread is just another case of cynics nitpicking at a great movie for what? Nothing.
This movie is awesome, and god knows why it only has about a 5 as a rating, and maybe they should be identical but honestly, who gives a crap?
Enjoy the movie or shut up and let the rest of us enjoy it.
