Twins (1988)

Such a frustrating disappointment

Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

You cannot compare movies, music or media entertainment in general to today's evolving technology; not even mind-blowing genuis directors out there, today.But these two actors: Danny Devito and Arnold Sch. were amazingly good in acting. Brought in a great emotional and bonding story. I loved it, and I'm really proud of how we humans evolve to make great benefits to ourselves.This movie, was and still is a priceless title to be carried by two great actors like them.

This never was one of the better Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, but still I decided to revisit it because it might just happen that my memory of the movie was way off.But it turned out that it was exactly as I remembered it."Twins" strayed quite far away from the usual action movies that Arnold Schwarzenegger was known for and made famous by during the 80s and 90s.Aside from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, of course, then the movie also starred Kelly Preston and Chloe Webb, although they didn't have that big roles to play. It was actually quite fun to watch David Caruso in this movie and in that role."Twins" does have some funny enough moments here and there, but the bigger picture just was somewhat of a mediocre result.It is definitely not a movie that will be revisited again any time soon.

Kelly Preston was smokin' hot in this movie! The "I could never get this gorgeous female who cannot not be a sex pot" kinda girl. Great casting here. Interesting plot which keeps you wondering, "could this happen?" but more important the sibling genetic similarities. I think this holds to be very true in families, even with the separated by birth dilemma. Arnold is directed well and plays the gentle giant with an intellect well because he is very smart. Note how Arnold never took the brash, arrogant, bad guy character which all muscle guys were typically cast as and stuck in this genre. Even in Terminator or Predator he wasn't that dumb moron big muscle bad guy who is in submission to the rich boss that wears a hair piece. PS--Kelly Preston is smokin' hot!

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.
