Lloyd Kaufman has stated that Stuck on You! is his favorite of Troma Entertainment's "sexy comedies".
Plot
editThe film, supposedly inspired by the writings of Tom Lehrer and Stan Freberg, follows estranged couple Bill and Carol, who are in a palimony suit against each other. The zany Judge Gabriel (played by Professor Irwin Corey) is handling their suit. As Bill and Carol relate their problems to Gabriel, he demonstrates how all lovers from the beginning of time, including Adam and Eve, Queen Isabella and Christopher Columbus, and King Arthur and Lady Guinevere have all faced their exact same troubles. The judge is finally revealed to be the angel Gabriel, sent down in hopes of bringing the couple back together.
Reception
editTroma claimed that the film had grossed $9.6 million in the United States in its first 90 days of release.[1]
