Synopsis: Bob and Walt Tenor (Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear) are conjoined twins who own a burger joint on Martha’s Vineyard. Walt moonlights as a local stage actor, performing in an annual one-man show for which he wins praise from all his friends. But he has dreams of becoming a real Hollywood actor and persuades Bob to leave their life on the Vineyard. Very shortly after arriving in Hollywood, Walt strikes it big in a starring role opposite Cher in a hit TV series. Eventually Walt’s and Bob’s life becomes too complicated for them to stick together any longer.
Scoop: The Farrelly brothers have a great knack for skewering all groups of people in the most un-PC ways they can find. For these guys, nothing seems to be off limits. Their targets have included mentally disabled persons, schizophrenics, the Amish, the obese, people with various physical disabilities and now they’ve finally arrived at conjoined twins.
