Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

koregtr I first sore this as a child and loved it..Upon seeing this as a teen and adult I still love it... typical Arnie comedy movie.. Devito adds a lot as well...the plot is pretty simple but its a fun movie and has a bit of fun comedy along the worry..Arnie seems like a 10 year old who cant act but in whole its good one...

slightlymad22 Continuing my plan to watch every Arnie movie in order, I come to Twins. Plot In A Paragraph: Julius (Arnie) a physically perfect but innocent man goes in search of his long-lost twin brother Vincent (Danny De Vito) a small-time crook.Last time I watched this movie, Arnie's love child had just been revealed to the world, and I felt it lost a lot of its charm due to Arnie not being so innocent. But it's easy to look past now, and again get caught up in the charm of the movie. The movie gets by solely on the charisma of Arnie and Danny De Vito, Of the supporting cast Kelly Preston stands out, she certainly stood out to me back in the 80's. Back then only Kylie Minogue and Christina Applegate (more specifically Kelly Bundy in Married With Children) were hotter to me. She is ridiculously hot here. Chloe Webb is OK, so is Bonnie Bartlett, Trey Wilson is poor and thankfully not involved much, Marshall Bell is weak as "You've seen my face" Webster. Arnies old mate Sven-Ole Thorsen again pops up, as does Sly's First Blood costar David Carruso in a small role, and look out for a young Heather Graham as the younger version of the mother. With the exception of the main stars most of the cast didn't do much of note after this. Even the gorgeous Kelly Preston did not capitalise on this movies success, I'm baffled she wasn't offered better projects than what she followed this with. One thing that has always bothered me, Julius made Vincent return the money, but to whom? The money came from Beetroot who was killed. And De Vito says "Four million dollars" at the end of the movie, yet earlier the price was $5,000,000 did Vincent lit to jilulius and secretly keep one million. Highlights for me were the first time they meet in the prison, every time Kelly Preston appeared on screen in her 80's attire, the scene with the mother in the office is surprisingly touching!! Something about De Vito's eyes touches me. And of course Kelly Preston (My GOD is she hot) seducing Arnie. Arnie finally had a smash hit, that not only ended the year in the Top 10 of the highest grossing movies of the year. It was also his first movie to gross over $100 million at the domestic box office. Twins ranked 5th with a gross of $111 million. Both were a personal best for Arnie.

Robert W. If I had seen Twins before it has been years but you'd have to be under a rock to not know what it was. This movie starts out silly and you wonder why everyone likes it and that it starts to pull on your heart strings, you laugh at the silliest things, Arnold's Julius endears himself to you in a way only great movie characters can and same with Vince. The film is one of those movies that lives and breathes the feel of the 80's generation which also leaves you feeling nostalgic and when its all said and done you feel so good and you're smiling and you had a great time. How can anyone not love this movie? It is easy to see why it did so well, why its considered a cult comedy classic and why it launched an unlikely comedic career for Schwarzenegger. Of course the film isn't brilliant...it is what it is. It is meant to be fun and sweet and funny and it nails everything that it tries to be. If you go in expecting some sort of feat of cinematic brilliance then you will be disappointed. Although ironically it is sort of brilliant in the way that it has become so timeless and is so perfectly made for its genre.I love Arnold Schwarzenegger. His action is timeless but his comedy proves how big his personality and on screen charisma is. He is adorable, endearing and very nearly brilliant as the perfect physical specimen who is as naive as they come. He almost immediately makes you love him and its truly a great performance. Danny Devito was the perfect match for him. They are twins like you would not believe...and you won't believe it. Their chemistry together is near perfect and absolutely makes this film what it is. Devito's sleazy, low life Vince wins you over with his endearing quirky personality. Kelly Preston and Chloe Webb are Vince and Julius's love interests. Both are good and serve their purpose but they really don't stand out. They are there to support Devito and Schwarzenegger and they do exactly that. The rest of the cast are basically mobsters and villains to support the story. They are good but again you won't really see any stand out performances. But it doesn't matter because this film lives and breathes the twins and they are absolutely perfect!! Ivan Reitman is a legendary director in many respects. He has helmed many of the great cult comedy classics especially in the eighties. He just as this incredible knack for capturing the feel of the audience of that time period. You watch his films and they are everything that the eighties stood for. Twins has everything..action, comedy, heart...and I will even admit that I just about almost teared up at the end of the film. That is impressive for a comedy to make you feel so attached to characters that are zany and ridiculous. The entire concept of the movie is so outrageous (like a few of Reitman's pictures) but you never doubt it for a single minute. You are caught up in the story and you're having a great time!! This one is going in my permanent watch again and again rotation because it is just fun. If you want a throwback comedy or are in an eighties sort of mood...this one is an absolute must!! Bring on Triplets (chances are it will be atrocious but I need to see Julius and Vince again!!) 9/10

FlashCallahan Throw plausibility out of the window, and you will enjoy one of the most high concept comedies of the late eighties.The pitch must have been magical ' Schwarzenegger and Devito play twins'. The studio must have seen the dollar signs before their eyes.It's simple enough, they look nothing alike, make Arnold appear to be as soft as anything (something that would have totally been against type for him back then), the obligatory fish out of water jokes, and then throw in a maguffin, to act as a plot.But then these films are not made for narrative structure, they are made to entertain, and it does it by the numbers. They meet, he doesn't believe him, something happens everyday that is alien to Julius, they fall in love, go on a road trip, fall out and then make up with an extra happy ending.The two stars are brilliant in the titular role, and tried to repeat the magic six years later, but failed.For a family movie, its a little violent, it's very very eighties, but you will have fun, that's for sure.
