Movie Review: I'll never grow tired of this movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I've seen this movie a zillion times, and was quite shocked when I bought and watched the DVD, as the version I'd taped off the TV years ago, was edited beyond belief! There was a lot of 'unsavoury' language cut out, and sometimes, even full jokes! I didn't recognise half of the early scenes when Julius & Vincent are in Vincent's house, as there's bits about Julius still being a virgin at 35 (and I thought I was a late starter!)
Arnie & Danny Devito are a great comedic pairing in this movie, Danny tall as he is wide, and Arnie showing off his muscles. They also starred together in Junior, which, despite what one reviewer said, is NOT a sequel to this!
The poster is enough to tell if you'll like this or not. If you think the casting of Arnie and Danny is amusing as a little and large combo then you'll probably like this. If you think it dumb then you may not appreciate this. The comedy is very much a mix of odd-couple and fish-out-of-water style jokes from Julius as opposed to the streetwise Vincent. The plot is largely meaningless - a mix of the two taking a secret engine across country while looking for their mother, and throw in two pretty girls (Chloe Webb & John Travolta's future wife, Kelly Preston).
All the fish-out-of-water jokes are funny, but sometimes not laugh out loud hilarious. It works mainly due to the casting of the lead two. Danny plays the sleazy one very well but the best one is Arnie - he merely plays a big naïve lump of muscle. However what he does do is allow himself to be sent up very well - you have to look out for it in most of his movies now, he always sends himself up somehow! Whether it be him making little knowing jokes (`I'll be back' or comparing muscles with Stallone on his Rambo poster) or just being the straightman to DeVito's set up jokes.
This is a great movie, although it's practically sacriledge that it's a full-screen edition, and has no extras. The film starts straight away, no main menu, and also has a little bit at the start where it says that English is the chosen language for this DVD, you can choose your own language later! Or have the subtitles on. Junior is not as good, mainly because it has the very annoying woman in it, who's name escapes me at the moment. You know, the annoying blonde one. A great movie and funny, especially if you've seen the edited TV version!
Movie Review: Better than you'd think
Summary: 4 Stars
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito star as twins who's birth were a scientific experiment. They got seperated at birth, one was raised on an island to just read books and to not really know anything about the real world. He's played by Arnold. When he finds out he has a twin he sets out to find him and he's pretty naive when he arrives in the U.S. When he finds his twin played by Danny Devito, he's surprised to see that they look nothing alike. Since he's naive, he doesn't see that his brother isn't really a nice person. He gets Arnold to bail him out of prison and flat leaves him since he doesn't believe the twin story.
After awhile the 2 bond in some funny scenes with them dressing alike and Danny giving him some advice about women and how to dance. Those are funny and sweet scenes but the film has a subplot where there's million of dollars involved and a bad guy killing people. So the violent side of plot isn't needed. It gives the film the excuse to have a road trip though. Arnold thinks it's to find their real mom when it's really for the money. Still though, Devito and Arnold make an odd but fun team and even manage to make Junior work when they worked together again. I mean it's about Arnold having a baby for god's sake...lol. Anyway this is an enjoyable film that's for anyone really.
Movie Review: What a funny movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Wow twins is one of those movies you just got to laugh at. It tells the story of two completely differeent people who were mixed together in a lab and are twins. One Arnols Schwarzenegger a 200 pound muscle man from a tropical island. ANd Danny Devito a 100 pound short man with a bad attitude. Throughout the movie Arnold and Danny search to find their real mom and bond at the same time. There's a part where Arnold is forced to borrrow one of Danny's shirts. Though physically impossible due to the fact Arnold has a chest about 15 inches bigger than Danny's...but o well. Anyway Arnold's bicep is so big that it eventually rips the shirt!!! So they go to a grocery store to get him a new shirt. I was then introduced to how muscluar Arnold really was. He was in great shape. WOW WHAT A CHEST. Buy this movie.Movie Review: Talk About A Recipe For Mussels And Shrimp....
Summary: 4 Stars
Vincent Benedict {Danny Devito} has no idea whatsoever that Julius {Arnold Schwartenegger} is his fracternal twin, separated at birth. When Julius first finds out, he is very excited and he thinks his brother will "be just like him," to quote. IXNAY! Of course, Vincent does not believe him until Julius saves his life from a fight. Since they've met each other, they decide that they both need to find their mother, only they find out more about themselves other than that to begin with. That's not the only issue, but a hitman is after Vincent. Tell me, what ARE the actual odds of having 2 siblings being the exact opposite in size?Movie Review: Twins is a 4 out of 5 Star DVD

When I first saw this movie for sale at fye for $5.99 I knew I had to pick it up Arnold and Diveto in the same movie starring it had to be good and boy was it good. Both actors delivered here as it seemed they had great chemistry with each other. The plot behind the story was they were twin brothers and didn't know it. Once they reunited with each other they were on a search to find their real mother. Diveto and Arnold deliver in his movie if you can find it for a good price I recommend that you pick it up four out of 5 stars for me.
