Movie Review by Zara
March 6th, 2007

Hmmm...

Is there anyone else who finds it amusing that the graphic being used for this movie pictures Arnie and yet says "DeVito" over his head? I'm just sayin'...

A movie about two men who grew up in completely different circumstances and come to find out that they are twin brothers (fraternal of course because anything else just wouldn't be funny, right?) and come together in order to try and track down their birth mother.

This was meant to be a joke based simply on the fact that DeVito and Arnie look so different. At the time it was one of the first comedies that the former bodybuilder tried to pull off and he got lucky that he was paired with such a pro. Most of his lines are still delivered too slowly for them to have the right about of comedic punch but when he is just shown making faces and following along with DeVito's character he seems to do just fine.

I might be poisoned to the idea of Arnie since he governs my fair state and has made a number of really bad decisions that will affect the residents for years, but I still say this is just an average comedy that took one hook and pounded it too hard into the ground.
