Bele Torso Kelly Preston was smokin' hot in this movie! The "I could never get this gorgeous female who cannot not be a sex pot" kinda girl. Great casting here. Interesting plot which keeps you wondering, "could this happen?" but more important the sibling genetic similarities. I think this holds to be very true in families, even with the separated by birth dilemma. Arnold is directed well and plays the gentle giant with an intellect well because he is very smart. Note how Arnold never took the brash, arrogant, bad guy character which all muscle guys were typically cast as and stuck in this genre. Even in Terminator or Predator he wasn't that dumb moron big muscle bad guy who is in submission to the rich boss that wears a hair piece. PS--Kelly Preston is smokin' hot!
adonis98-743-186503 Twins is a must see for every Schwarzenegger fan it's funny as hell and full of great one liners like I'll Be Back and some really good touching moments the film was released back in 1988 and it's the first from the 3 movies Arnold and Reitman did together the other 2 are Kindergarten Cop (1990) and Junior (1994) starring Danny De Vito and Emma Thompson. If you love Arnold Schwarzenegger and comedy then you're going to love this film a great cast, movie and director absolutely amazing a must see for the whole family. They are working on a sequel it would be good to see Arnie and Danny back together but the film will probably be a box office bomb and critics will hate it like they did with Dumb & Dumber To so i think they should stick in this one and never make a sequel.
jessegehrig Twins is weird. Why are you weird, Twins? Remember in the 80's how being a womanizer was cool, like manipulating people and then throwing them away was a socially acceptable trait. Man, 1988 must have been one hell of a year, or, in retrospect maybe not. Kelly Preston's hair looks like it hurts her, is her stringy over-teased hair like mad at her? Hair is supposed to be friendly. Yes, Twins is a vehicle to market Arnold Schwarzenegger as able-to-appear-in-comedies, and it paid out- Jingle All The Way, Kindergarten Cop, Junior. It's only creepy if you think about it psychologically. Personally, I like my movies to be hollow and self- indulgent, that way it doesn't get in the way of drinking.
wes-connors A top secret experiment by the American government produces a perfect human, arguably, with the birth of bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger (as Julius Benedict). He lives on a peaceful, remote island in the South Pacific. After 35 years, Mr. Schwarzenegger heads out to Hollywood, where he'll find long-lost twin brother Danny DeVito (as Vincent Benedict). A short, fat and balding (fraternal) twin, Mr. DeVito was considered a genetic mishap and disposed of in an orphanage. He grows up to be a petty criminal. After the brothers meet, they set out to find their long-lost mother, who may or may not be dead...The funniest part of this film is the title and concept. If you like Schwarzenegger and/or DeVito, you're likely laughing before the movie begins. Most of the humor is in seeing Schwarzenegger adapt to the outside world. Meanwhile, DeVito keeps the story going by stealing a car worth $5 million. They have a good rapport and work well with director Ivan Reitman. Sex is presented in a pair of tightly-attired sisters, Kelly Preston (as Marnie Mason) and Chloe Webb (as Linda Mason). Genetically absurd, "Twins" becomes cartoon-like violent and goes nowhere, but still continues to draw a chuckle now and then.****** Twins (12/8/88) Ivan Reitman ~ Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito, Kelly Preston, Chloe Webb
