Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This is one of Arnold's worst film besides Preditor, the story is dull and boring and the acting while is good is not good enough for the film. Bleh. I give Twins a 3/10

'Twins' is probably the film that first proved that 'Hollywood action hardmen' COULD do comedy. Before this it was unheard of that someone as well-known for 'action' could ever try and be funny. However, 'Twins' proves that the right actors, meeting with the right script, can produce something that stands the test of time.The premise is simple (if only a little far-fetched) that a *ahem* 'perfect' man (Arnold Schwarzenegger) grows up on a tropical island, to discover that he actually has a long-lost twin brother back in mainland USA (Danny DeVito). Therefore, our - unusually naive - Arnie heads to LA to find him.I first saw this film when I was a kid and loved it then, simply because I was a massive fan of Schwarzenegger and this was the first of his films I was legally allowed to see in the cinema. However, now I'm older (and I can almost quote the film word for word), I can appreciate it on a new level. It really is 'perfectly written.'There's never a moment of the script that feels dragged out, or could be left on the cutting room floor. Every second either moves the plot on, establishes character, or is simply very funny. Arnie proves that he can do more than just beat people up (although he still cracks the odd skull or two here) and plays 'the straight man' brilliantly to DeVito's zany comic character.'Twins' stands up today as it did back then. You don't need to be a huge fan of Arnie's to appreciate this. You only need a sense of humour. It's a comedy that doesn't rely on gross or crude humour and it's not topical, which helps it stay as enjoyable today as it was back then. Maybe it was 'lightning in a bottle' as many other 'action heroes' have tried their hand at comedy since (including Schwarzenegger/DeVito again in the ill-fated 'Junior') and it was never half as good as this.There are few films today that can be described so genuinely as 'fun for all the family.' But, while we still have all these 'blasts from the past,' who cares?

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.

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.
