A
pair of conjoined brothers (A,K,A, Siamese Twins) who
have their own legs and arms, but are joined by nine
inches at the hip/torso (sharing a liver) who have used
their "disability" throughout life to great
advantage, such as in sports, where they were a great
hockey goalie and wrestling champion. Their happy union
is threatened however, when Walt (Kinnear) wants to
go to Hollywood to become an actor... so the other twin,
Bob (Damon), follows him begrudgingly, because they've
pledged to never split up the perfect team. When they
get to Los Angeles, the duo soon finds themselves landing
a job on a TV show starring Cher (playing herself),
which results in quick fame and fortune, but will the
new changes in their lives ultimately drive the twins
apart? (Mendes plays an actress who becomes Kinnear's
romantic interest when they get to L.A.; Streep plays
herself playing the character of "Nurse Ratched"
in the theatrical play version of "One Flew Over
the Cuckoo's Nest". |

You
wait, like forever, for a movie about Siamese Twins
- and boom - two in four years! The other - in case
you missed it, was Twin Falls, Idaho. |
