Plot Summary
Superstars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito team up for twice the laughs in this hilarious box-office blockbuster from director Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters). An ambitious genetic experiment takes the wrong turn when two twins - who look nothing alike - are born and then separated. Years later, the unlikely siblings meet: Julius, a highly educated but sheltered giant with a big heart, and Vincent, a pint-sized hustler with an insatiable lust for women and money. With girlfriends in tow and a hitman on their tail, the newfound brothers set off on a wild, cross-country misadventure to find their mother - but end up finding out more about themselves.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The sort of movie that seems to be made of Styrofoam. It's instantly disposable but it won't quickly disappear.
Fresh: Director Ivan Reitman more than delivers on the wacky promise of Twins in this nutty, storybook tale of siblings separated at birth and reunited at age 35.
Rotten: Reitman (one of the highest grossing directors of all time) has made a career peddling brain-dead schlock, but this tiresome gruel is even below his ground-level standards.
Rotten: The film feels, rather than the solid comedy it is, like a massive missed opportunity.
Customer Reviews
Loved this movie
At first, when I saw the beginning, I thought. OH GOD! not another movie where Ahnuld would be a one dimensional idiot (by that I mean...and ONLY mean Batman and Robin ). I kept watching and saw one of his best film roles yet. A Naive, but genius bodybuilder and his small, sleazy twin brother? I thought it sounded cheesy, but this movie is anything but. Seeing Arnold quoting the origin of beer while drunk? ROFL
awsome movie
this movie is a classic
HOLY... MIDGETS
woh not to be a downer but i thought danny devito would be...taller... other wise its a great movie
