The inseparable Farrelly brothers, Peter and Bobby, do a comedy about joined-at-the-hip brothers, Greg Kinnear and Matt Damon ("We're not Siamese"). The principal self-revelation to come out of this is something we already knew about them: their taste, if that word may be used in the vicinity of the Farrellys, for disability jokes. Gross-out, for the moment, is out; real wit was never in; inanity rides roughshod: one of the pair, in the afterglow of his one-man performance as Truman Capote in community theater, drags the other one to Hollywood, where he lands the male lead in a television courtroom series called Honey and the Beaze, opposite the temperamental Cher, as herself, who selects him for the job only in hopes of scuttling the show. (Meryl Streep likewise appears as herself, in a slightly more than cameo role, to prove she's as good a sport as her Silkwood co-star.) If there are any laughs, or at least grimaces, they come from Seymour Cassel as a senile talent agent with his mind in the Fifties. The best to be said about the basic material is that it raises suspicions that in more disciplined hands it might have been skit-worthy. Eva Mendes, Wen Yann Shih. (2003) — Duncan Shepherd
