Synopsis

Superstars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito team up for twice the laughs in this hilarious box-office blockbuster from director Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters).

An ambitious genetic experiment takes the wrong turn when two twins-who look nothing alike-are born and then separated. Years later, the unlikely siblings meet: Julius, a highly educated but sheltered giant with a big heart, and Vincent, a pint-sized hustler with an insatiable lust for women and money. With girlfriends in tow and a hitman on their tail, the newfound brothers set off on a wild, cross-country misadventure to find their mother - but end up finding out more about themselves.

It’s possible/probable/almost certain that the only reason I rate Twins so highly is because of the age I was when I first saw it. Nostalgia isn’t very helpful for critical thinking. But really, what’s not to like? Arnie in full-on self-deprecating humour-mode, Danny Devito as the perfect foil for Schwarzenegger’s dumb gurning, ultimate cheesy early-90’s soundtrack, and – of course – Arnie singing Yakkety-Yak. My own personal theory is that Arnie has some of the best comic timing around (see ‘Kindergarten Cop’ or ‘Last Action Hero’ for more proof of this), but then again nobody seems to see this but me. Still, you can’t really go wrong so long as you saw it when you were too young to really appreciate whether it’s any good or not. It’s funny cos they look so different, you see. Get it?
