I was reading a review of "Stuck on You," the story of conjoined twins (Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear), when the critic (Rogert Ebert) alluded to the next Farrelly bros movie. It comes out next year.
:Q

I keep saying, man, they can't get any more tastless. Yet, they do it again.


EDIT: When I say tastless, it doesn't mean that it won't be funny. I'm always the one that is laughing loudly at those movies. I just have to shake my head at what ideas they keep coming up with.

"She's got CANKLES! "
:p

For the linky-lazy:

Plot Summary for
Ringer, The (2004)

This comedy is about two guys who decide to rig the Special Olympics to pay off a debt by having one of them, Steve (Knoxville), pose as a contestant in the games, hoping to dethrone reigning champion, Jimmy. Mentally-challenged high jinks and hilarity surely follow.



Katherine Heigel looks to be in the movie too. Love interest?

I'm sorry, but that does sound funny.

Agreed. I always find Farrelly bros. movies hilarious.

I think they have gone downhill with each consecutive movie.
I thought Stuck on You was a step up compared to Me, Myself and Irene and Shallow Hal but I was expecting it to be a whole lot funnier. There's Something About Mary was great and, to me, they don't seem able to match that or make a movie even close to as funny as that.

Ya, sounds funny. Although a bit tasteless like you said, but sometimes tasteless is even funny if done right :).

From Greg's Preview:
Link

Michael Fleming of "Variety" reported recently that after years of working on the script, the production has now received approval from the Special Olympics board to use their name, and presumably, film at their events, using their athletes. The reason that the board was willing to sign on to what might seem at first like a movie that could be mocking the mentally handicapped is that the "script doesn't draw its laughs at the expense of any group. In fact, it turns out the competitor can't beat the Special Olympians, and they quickly discover he's an imposter."
