Twins

The dynamic between Devito and Arnold is incredible. The situations they get into are laugh-out-loud funny and sentimental at the same time. From dating to everything else, they are having fun together. Worth watching definitely 7 stars

Here's an oft-mentioned '80s movie that I've only just now gotten around to. And I say that because I feel badly about letting 30 years go by without giving it a shot. Schwarzenegger and DeVito are great choices for these roles. The movie has a great concept to start with, but they play well opposite each other and add to the film's overall likability. DeVito is a natural for this part, but it's surprising to see that Schwarzenegger's gift for comedy was present so early in his career. Maybe that's why I liked this so much; it rests in capable hands. But there's a warmth to this movie that's inescapable. It's a solid comedy.

Odd, but nonetheless entertaining comedy finds Schwarzenegger on a tropical island where he's lived and been educated his entire life without interaction from the outside world. He learns that he's the result of a sophisticated experiment and that he and reckless con man DeVito are in fact twin brothers who were separated at birth. They finally meet and are dumbfounded to learn how alike they are, despite their physical dissimilarities and their drastically different upbringing. Initial ingredients of this comedy seem far-fetched and desperately protracted, but still the film is enthusiastically performed and laugh-out loud funny, with a good sense of family values. It goes without saying that DeVito and Schwarzenegger are an awkward casting choice, yet they connect and only add to the overall enjoyment. ***

This is a quietly amusing film which I enjoyed more than I expected. While Schwarzenegger is the "star" of the movie, this is really de Vito's film. He dominates every scene he is in, and maintains a manic character who actually shows some change as the film progresses without losing the basic energy of his persona. While the plot is a little tenuous at times and there are only one or two real belly laughs I enjoyed the film, even on the small screen. Worth watching, but probably not worth buying.

Twins is a hilarious film and one of DeVito and Schwarzenegger's best films of all. Schwarzenegger is the kind of actor that can act in serious movies and funny movies. He certainly proves he can do that in this movie. And DeVito is just perfect for his role. From start to finish, Twins is a hilarious movie that makes your sides ache with laughter.

Part of a genetic experiment and separated at birth, twins Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito meet at last some 30 years later and hilarious situations follow. A sophomoric idea turns out to work beautifully due to the performances of the film's two leads. Just enough suspense is created as the two look for their long lost mother and DeVito gets into hot water when he steals a car that has some very valuable cargo in the trunk. A nice little entertaining film that serves its purpose well. 4 stars out of 5.
