The story has a tendency to get on the tenuous side, but this is essentially a very enjoyable fish-out-of-water comedy. It is a one-joke concept but it does that rare thing, the whole film works. It is nicely filmed, the music is good, the direction is skillful, the film does move at a comfortable pace and the script has a lot of nice and funny touches. Beside these things some memorable scenes and the acting made me enjoy Twins even more. I especially loved Arnie's awkward attempt at romancing Kelly Preston, that was a real comedy highlight. Acting wise, both leads are on top form, Danny DeVito is hilarious as the dim-witted scuzzball and Arnie is endearing and handles the comedy well as the intelligent and naive genetically-engineered brother. The two teamed up again in Junior, that film wasn't as good or as entertaining, but I personally enjoyed it even with its problems. Twins for me will be the better film, because while it is one-joke and occasionally tenuous in terms of story(loved the concept I will admit and on the most part it did work very well) it is very enjoyable with great lead performances in particular. 8/10 Bethany Cox

TWINS is the first and best of the three Schwarzenegger comedies (the others were JUNIOR and JINGLE ALL THE WAY),thanks to a freshness of feel and some genuinely funny moments in the script. Schwarzenegger is truly believable as the lunk-headed fish out of water who makes his way to America and discovers that his long-lost twin brother Danny DeVito is a small-time crook with plenty of trouble of his own to contend with.

The film has plenty of laugh out loud moments and Schwarzenegger's goofy, idiotic charm fits well with DeVito's sharper, more cynical wit. Yes, there's some sentimentality here in the form of the search for the long-lost mother, but overall this is solid fun, especially when chronicling the twosome's constant outwitting of the various bad guys (including TOTAL RECALL's Marshall Bell) out to get them.

Julius Benedict (Arnold Schwarzenegger) have lived on a tropical island for his whole life. Then he feels he must go in search for his long lost twin Vincent (Danny DeVito) believing he's in trouble. Vincent is a small time criminal who owes money to the Klane brothers. He steals a car to pay off the debt only to discover it is worth a whole lot to other bad guys.

Ivan Reitman is doing a fine job. Danny DeVito is doing a good slimebag. Arnold is actually good and funny as the naive Julius. But this one is sold as soon as you see the poster with DeVito leaning on Schwarzenegger. It doesn't really have a sharp edge. It's certainly not that daring. But it's a nice easy comedy. The worst thing to come out of this is a Reitman-Schwarzenegger reunion in 'Kindergarten Cop'.
