Twins (1988)

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.

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'.

I will make this review short and sweet. I am a fan of Arnold and i have not liked many of his comedies or non-action films, but this one is surprisingly fun. Its not that this was an epic or super quoted comedy film but it is just warm-hearted. The reason why i loved the film is because Arnold's character Julius is just this perfect human being that you love. He is smart, strong, caring, loving, considerate polite amongst other quality traits. It is kinda sad that he gets exposed to the real world and all the scum in it. A good movie about 2 polar opposites who are brothers and come together to form what they had always wanted in life....a family. 9/10 stars.

Twins is a terrific movie with a well developed and comedic storyline and a really good cast.I don't think you could have gotten anyone better than Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito to play two completely nonidentical twins.The movie is unusual for DeVito,but its one of the few comedies Schwarzenegger is in,and its probably his best,hes a very funny,stupid and energetic character in this movie,and people that think he can only play characters like the Terminator will see that he can act really well with completely different characters.I've heard rumors about a sequel called Triplets,that will star Eddie Murphy as the third twin.Ihope these rumors are true because it sounds like it would be a very funny addition to an already very different set of twins.Fans of family comedies,Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger will definitely enjoy this movie.Two long lost nonidentical twins born from an experiment meet up many years later and work together to find their mother.
