Two Much

The basic plot of this made-for-TV movie has been done several times before, making it very predictable and not that funny. Antonio Banderas looks best without his clothes, which is about the only appeal that this actor has... The rest of the cast is instantly forgettable...like the film itself.

I don't even care about the film...the music was great! So? I'm prejudiced! Michel Camilo was out of this world! I watched the ending of the flick ---- oh, I don't know how many times just to watch Michel Camilo and his group! Unreal! I'd love to know where I can get the soundtrack.

The movie tells the funny story of a Gigolo who falls in love for the sister of his future wife. As he is Machiavellian (and a bit coward, too), he doesn't tell the truth and imagines a fake brother. I let you imagine all the quirky situations. The cast answers the expectations, because each actor seems the right one for the part and their performance are great: Banderas as a seductive, Hannah as a poetic lover,… But, the narration is laborious. I waited 30 minutes to feel the movie really paced, and the ending is very much thrown away. The subplots (his father, the crooks) are uninteresting because not really funny so they tend to break the rhythm. I imagine it is due to a "bad" adaptation. Indeed, the original story is a book and the literary language is very different from the movie language. In conclusion, an enjoyable movie that you will won't watch again for a time, except on a DVD to skip on particular chapter.

A bit of fluff with lots of laughs and screwball comedy with Banderas trying to have not only his cake and eat it two, but two cakes! Some very funny bits as he tries to keep his "twin" from being exposed -hence "Two Much." In my opinion, Joan Cusack stole the show with her broad comedic talents. She plays along with the charade, using wry humor when she finds herself in the middle of a difficult situation, and gently scolding Banderas for his questionable behavior. She was simply wonderful!

You will especially like this film if you are fans of Antonio Banderas, Melanie Griffith and Daryl Hannah. Nothing creative or unique, just good fun and nice eye candy for all to enjoy. You could probably drive down the road and get the milk and cereal for tomorrow's breakfast, while the movie is still running back home, and not miss much...but hey, this is just a comedy for a few laughs.
