Stuck on You

Bob and Walt Tenor run Quikee Burger in Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard. They guarantee free meals if orders aren't completed in three minutes, showcasing their uncanny in-sync teamwork. Bob is shy while Walt is outgoing, and their bond anchors their small-town life.

Walt pursues acting, while Bob stays in the background due to stage fright. Walt stars in a one-man show, drawing attention to their unique bond. The brothers juggle dreams of Hollywood with the realities of being conjoined.

As the show grows in popularity, they head to California to chase bigger opportunities. They rent an apartment in Los Angeles and befriend aspiring actress April Mercedes. They explain their conjoinment to April, including that they share a liver that is mostly Bob's.

Walt struggles to find acting work in Hollywood, and their agent Morty O'Reilly offers little real help. At one point he even suggests Walt take a pornographic role. Meanwhile Cher is unhappy that she is set to star in a prime-time show called Honey and the Beaze, and hires Walt as her co-star, hoping to jump-start her own career.

The producers reveal a scheme to keep Bob out of sight by using bluescreen tricks, and the show becomes a surprise hit. Walt achieves fame while Bob remains in the background, dealing with the emotional cost of separation. The success brings both attention and personal strain.

Morty arranges for May Fong to meet Bob, and a romance forms between them. The twins struggle to keep their conjoined nature secret, with Walt sometimes joining them in disguise, even as a giant teddy bear to accompany them. The evolving relationship puts new pressure on their delicate arrangement.

Eventually May discovers the truth when she finds them in bed together, and she concludes they are a gay couple rather than brothers. Bob reveals they are conjoined, but May is shocked by the deception and flees. The relationship fractures as the secret threatens their happiness.

Morty informs the twins that word has leaked about their conjoined status. Rather than hide, they embrace their uniqueness and become major celebrities, appearing in commercials and on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Walt basks in the fame while Bob longs for May.

Walt enjoys success but observes that Bob is unhappy and misses May. He pushes for separation to gain independence, acting out in a wild binge that lands him in jail for drunk driving. Even so, it is Bob who bears the real hangover because they share a liver.

On the night before the surgery, May returns to apologize and accept that separation might be best. The next morning, the operation proceeds to separate their bodies, with the medical team performing the life-changing procedure. The head surgeon informs them the surgery was successful.

The separation operation is successful, and the twins begin adjusting to their new independent lives. Bob and May move back to Oak Bluffs to start anew, while Walt faces career setbacks after Honey and the Beaze is canceled. They navigate the emotional shifts that come with living apart after years of togetherness.

A year later, the brothers are running the Quikee Burger together again and May is married to Bob and pregnant. They simulate their former conjoined life with Velcro clothing, a playful nod to their past. Walt continues to perform in local plays, including a Bonnie and Clyde musical with Meryl Streep, finding creative fulfillment in his craft.
