"Stuck on You" / "The Thing With Two Heads"
Theme: Love Thy Brother or The Bod Couples.
"Stuck on You" (2003) -- Matt Damon, Greg Kinnear, Cher, Meryl Streep; directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly. Gross-out writer-director team, the Farrelly Bros. ("There's Something About Mary," "Kingpin"), sprinkle sweetness on the comic tale of Siamese twin burger flippers who go Hollywood, finding love, success, and separate lives. Cher is fun spoofing her image. Streep would fare better sewn to Liza Minnelli. The best moment is actor Kinnear's one-man Truman Capote tribute, while Damon lurks "inconspicuous" on stage.

"The Thing With Two Heads" (1972) -- Ray Milland, Rosey Grier, Don Marshall, Chelsea Brown; directed by Lee Frost. Schlocky exploitation melodrama from cheapskate American International was plenty bad when first released; now it's deliciously ridiculous. Academy Award-winner Milland is a brilliant surgeon/white racist who schemes to have his brain live on in a new body. Presto! He awakes to discover his head has been grafted onto hulking black Death Row convict Grier. Ludicrous effects and stunt work make for fine snickering.
