Tagline: Brother Stick Together.
Bob (Matt Damon) and Walt (Greg Kinnear) Tenor are conjoined “Siamese” twins who are winners at everything — from flipping burgers at the diner they own, or performing miraculous feats on ice for their local hockey team. They never leave each other’s side… and wouldn’t have it any other way. That is, until Walt decides he wants to follow his dreams of making it as a Hollywood actor, and persuades his reluctant sibling to go along for the ride. Tinseltown may never recover as Bob and Walt find fame, romance and a new perspective on their inseparable bond.
Outrageous comedy and sentiment from the Farrelly brothers are joined at the hip as Academy Award winner Matt Damon and Oscar nominee Greg Kinnear play conjoined twin brothers Bob and Walt Tenor who, literally, never leave each other?s side. Their unique bond leads to wild complications when Walt decides to pursue his dreams of becoming an actor and persuades his reluctant sibling to go along for the ride.
Bob and Walt Tenor are small-town legends who excel at sports, and who are the proud owners of a fast-food restaurant where their four hands work the grill at lightning speed. When the acting bug bites Walt, he convinces Bob to honor their childhood pact to never hold back the other, and the brothers head west for the bright lights of Hollywood. Bob and Walt make fast friends with their sexy neighbor (Eva Mendes), who helps Walt land a grizzled agent (Seymour Cassel) whose idea of a prime gig for Walt is a porn film.
Things finally begin to look up for Walt when the boys encounter legendary diva ? and Academy Award winning actress ? Cher. Looking to sabotage her new television series, of which she wants no part, Cher casts Walt as her co-star. Instead of dooming the show, Walt propels it to the top of the ratings, and the brothers became instant celebrities. But their real adventure is only beginning, as Bob finds romance with a longtime cyber-pal, and the brothers make a decision that will forever change their lives. Whatever happens to the boys, one thing is certain: nothing will ever come between them.
