Stuck on You!
Stuck on You! is a 1982 comedy film directed by Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz of Troma Entertainment. Stuck on You! was the third in a series of four "sexy comedies" that helped establish Troma, beginning with 1979's smash hit Squeeze Play!, 1981's Waitress!, and followed by 1983's The First Turn-On!.
Lloyd Kaufman has stated that Stuck on You! is his favorite of Troma's "sexy comedies".
The tagline of the film is "It's Boys, It's Girls, It's Crazy...It's A Stuckin' Good Time!!!"
Plot
The film, supposedly inspired by the writings of Tom Lehrer and Stan Freberg, follows estranged couple Bill and Carol, who are in a palimony suit against each other. The zany Judge Gabriel (played by Professor Irwin Corey) is handling their suit. As Bill and Carol relate their problems to Gabriel, he demonstrates how all lovers from the beginning of time, including Adam and Eve, Queen Isabella and Christopher Columbus, and King Arthur and Lady Guinevere have all faced their exact same troubles. The judge is finally revealed to be the angel Gabriel, sent down in hopes of bringing the couple back together.
Stuck on You (film)
Stuck on You is a 2003 comedy film directed by the Farrelly brothers and starring Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear as conjoined twins, whose conflicting 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.
Plot
Conjoined twins Bob and Walt Tenor try to live as normally as possible. Outgoing and sociable Walt aspires to be a Hollywood actor, however, whereas shy, introverted Bob prefers the quiet life. They run Quikee Burger, a diner in Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard, that guarantees free meals to customers whose orders are not completed in three minutes, a testament to how skilled and in sync Bob and Walt are with each other. Though Walt is comfortable socializing with women, Bob is the shyer of the two, and carries on a long-distance relationship with a pen pal named May Fong whom he has never met in person, and who is unaware that they are conjoined twins.
Walt gets a role in a local play. Bob stays as much as possible in the background, as he has a tendency to get stage fright. Following the play's success, Walt decides to follow his dream to Hollywood and persuades his hesitant brother to go along for the ride. They rent an apartment in California and become friends with fellow aspiring actress April Mercedes. When she expresses curiosity about their conjoinment, Walt explains that they share a liver that is mostly Bob's, and that because surgical separation entails a higher risk to Walt, Bob would not consent to the surgery, even though Walt favored it. It is also the reason why Walt appears somewhat older than Bob. (Greg Kinnear is seven years older than Matt Damon in real life.)

Every Tim I Fall
by: Gina G.(1) Everytime I fall for your eyes
Like the raindrops fall from the sky
Everytime I hear your name
In this loving game
There is something in the way
Your eyes talk to me
Just as if they seem to say
(stay here with me, babe)
Just as if they seem to say
(stay with me)
(1)
All I need is to express it all
My echo listens
When I hear myself confess
(you are my weakness)
When I hear myself confess
(you are my weakness)
(1)
I say, I say, I say
(1) 2 X
(1) Repeat to fade
