Amazon.co.uk Review
DeVito and Schwarzenegger as fraternal twin brothers? Hey, why not? This delightful 1988 comedy by Ivan Reitman--about genetically designed twin siblings who discover each other at the age of 35--works out just fine, thanks largely to great chemistry between the two stars. Despite a certain amount of rough action and tension, Twins really gets a lift from the palpable innocence Reitman develops, and the female costars (Chloe Webb and Kelly Preston) bring some interesting texture of their own. This is a film that walked the tightrope of a high concept and completely succeeded. To see how easy it is to stumble in a similar situation, check out DeVito and Schwarzenegger in Reitman's Junior. --Tom Keogh

Synopsis
Twin brothers--hardly identical--are separated at birth. As the result of a genetic experiment gone awry, the brothers could not be more different, both physically and emotionally. Raised in a sheltered environment away on a desert island, giant Julius (Arnold Schwarzenegger) has developed into a meek, highly educated individual with a big heart. Pint-sized Vincent (Danny DeVito), left in New York to survive on his own, is a scheming, cynical hustler with an insatiable lust for women and money. When each discovers the other exists, the brothers reunite and set off an a comic adventure in search of their lost mother. But in their cross-country travels--with girlfriends in tow and a hitman hot on their trail--what they really find is a deep brotherly connection that exists despite their external differences.

Customer Reviews

A comedy classic
By the time you've got to read my review you'll know the story. It's a great film, and was Arnie's first foray into comedy and is directed by Ivan (Ghostbusters) Reitman.

My only complaint is NOT with the film but with the DVD itself. I would have given this a five star rating had it not been for the fact that this film is not shown in Widescreen and is Pan and Scan and there is only the trailer as a special feature. Save your pennies and wait until the Special Edition is realised, it'll be worth it.

twins mishaps
hello, any1 notice that he says 5 million dollars, and when his brother (arnie) later on is there he says 4 million! so vincent nicked the other million. top film anyway

Arnie's Breakthrough into Comedy
Great comedy. The chemistry between De Vito and Arnie really makes this film a great laugh. They discover each other in their mid 30's and what De Vito lacks in height,he has in character. Some really hilarious scenes like for example when Arnie has is first sexual experience and when he is learning how to drive. I loved the tagline ' Only their mother can tell them apart'. Arnie showed his flair for comedy with this film.
