Julius and Vincent Benedict are the results of an experiment that would allow for the perfect child. Julius was planned and grows to athletic proportions. Vincent is an accident and is somewhat smaller in stature. Vincent is placed in an orphanage while Julius is taken to a south seas island and raised by philosophers.

A physically perfect but innocent man (Arnold Schwarzenegger) goes in search of his long-lost twin brother (Danny DeVito), who is a short small-time crook.Looking back now (2015), it is interesting to think of this as the movie that made Arnold the most money. It has its high points and is pretty amusing, but is really very much a 1980s film. It is not the best Arnold film (perhaps not even top five) and certainly not the best Ivan Reitman picture.There is also the unusual subtext: a "perfect" man who comes out Aryan, and the leftovers form a short, swarthy man. Arnold even dyed his hair blonde for the film. By no means do I think Reitman intentionally was trying to make a Nazi reference, but it exists nonetheless.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito, Kelly Preston, Chloe Webb, Bonnie Bartlett and Marshall Bell star in Ivan Reitman's 1988 comedy. Schwarzenegger plays Julius Benedict, a mild-mannered man who was raised on a tropical island. He learns he was separated at birth from twin brother, Vincent (DeVito) who became a womanizer & small-time crook. Soon, they meet and get to know each other learning they're complete opposites. They also learn about their mother, Mary Ann and search for her. Vincent also gets in over his head when he steals a Cadillac with a valuable engine in the trunk. Preston plays Marnie, Webb plays her sister, Linda who is Vincent's ex-girlfriend, Bell plays dangerous, delivery man, Webster and Bartlett plays Mary Ann, an artist who turns out to be Julius & Vincent's mother. I've always enjoyed this film, Arnold & Danny are great together and reunited 6 years after this in Reitman's other film, "Junior." I recommend this good comedy.

The company is located on the Island were Julius was raised, some 200 nautical miles south, south west of Fiji. The company is run by both sets of twin boys.. 2 of Vincents sons and the 2 from Julius.. The casting is hilarious, as One is tall and stocky built and the other is short and pudgy..each teaming up with their opposite cousin.. Beetroot hires Eddie Murphy.. who plays a mad scientist hired to steel the original Baby batter, used to produce the worlds first super human person. Eddie Murphy then uses it to create an Identical set of clones of Vincent and Julius. The idea is to kidnap them so they can be replaced by the clones..who will then take over the Benedict corporation. An amazing set of comical twist and turns occurs as the real Vincent and Julius try to escape their captives.. and save the world from their evil twins.. Look for a cameo by the McClain Boys.. who come to their rescue..at the request of Marnie and Linda.. This movie will have you laughing uncontrollably . script copy right.. by Eddie Vuittonet, in behalf of Madre Seca films.

Throw plausibility out of the window, and you will enjoy one of the most high concept comedies of the late eighties.The pitch must have been magical ' Schwarzenegger and Devito play twins'. The studio must have seen the dollar signs before their eyes.It's simple enough, they look nothing alike, make Arnold appear to be as soft as anything (something that would have totally been against type for him back then), the obligatory fish out of water jokes, and then throw in a maguffin, to act as a plot.But then these films are not made for narrative structure, they are made to entertain, and it does it by the numbers. They meet, he doesn't believe him, something happens everyday that is alien to Julius, they fall in love, go on a road trip, fall out and then make up with an extra happy ending.The two stars are brilliant in the titular role, and tried to repeat the magic six years later, but failed.For a family movie, its a little violent, it's very very eighties, but you will have fun, that's for sure.
