One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Jenni Devyn
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

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.

Twins is a must see for every Schwarzenegger fan it's funny as hell and full of great one liners like I'll Be Back and some really good touching moments the film was released back in 1988 and it's the first from the 3 movies Arnold and Reitman did together the other 2 are Kindergarten Cop (1990) and Junior (1994) starring Danny De Vito and Emma Thompson. If you love Arnold Schwarzenegger and comedy then you're going to love this film a great cast, movie and director absolutely amazing a must see for the whole family. They are working on a sequel it would be good to see Arnie and Danny back together but the film will probably be a box office bomb and critics will hate it like they did with Dumb & Dumber To so i think they should stick in this one and never make a sequel.

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.

Rating-6/10Twins is a fun film that although maybe isn't film at it's best, still manages to entertain and maybe even feel a certain something for the characters. With an acting performance we have rarely seen before and a plot that we would never expect, the film serves to be fun and it's exactly what it does, well kind of. I felt it was a safely kind of OK film but nowhere near being good, here is why I felt that way about it all.The story is absurd but fun and although I did feel it was a bit crazy it served to be entertaining for just over an Hour and a half. It isn't that funny is fair to say and the comedy part lacks, but hey even when it is trying to be humorous, it is still fun anyways. Finally on the plot, we already gathered it is crazy, but it has heart felt moments where you actually do feel for them slightly, the ending can take that away a bit but still show's us there brotherly love.Arnold Schwarzenegger actually does this role without killing people, he does it with his massive frame, big fists and short shorts? ,yes it sounds like he has gone mad but he actually does OK here and is one of the only emotional performances Arnie has ever done. Danny DeVito is fun as his twin and is also down on his luck a lot, he plays these parts the best in my opinion and obviously the way that one twin is massive, one twin is small makes for some fun and great circumstances.Ivan Reitman at the directing helm does a good job and for such a difficult comedy to do with such absurd circumstances, he does a fine job indeed. I felt the script is the weakest part of this movie with some horrible lines that just serve to annoy the viewer rather than make them laugh, whether or not the lines are delivered right by the actors is up to you but for me it is the screenplays fault. I actually enjoyed the cinematography which although is typically 80's in it's shots, works really well and most street scenes and car scenes are done beautifully well.As I said before, the film isn't so funny and if you want big laughs then this isn't for you, it tries it's hardest at times as well but misses the overall mark of the film. I also did feel that although I said the acting was OK and Arnie's best, it still isn't that great, and even for a comedy which can sometimes escape with bad acting, the acting here is kind of emotionless and stale, AT TIMES. One more thing is the crazy idea all together which doesn't work THAT well but ah well, just have fun with it.People who enjoy good and fun movies with a little heartfelt emotion intertwined within should like this as well as those who like a movie where the actors just look like they had fun making it. Arnie fans may be left disappointed if they are expecting violence and armed gangs, he does used violence about once or twice in this but he is no Commando by any means in this film.Overall I'll give it a 6/10 because I did feel it was safely an OK- ish movie, albeit it is nowhere near being good let alone just OK but it still is entertainment and these two actors together on screen at there best and funniest. I would also say to watch it as rumours of a sequel are flying around now and again so just sit back back and enjoy the ride, even if it is a little bumpy.
