...a seemingly foolproof premise that’s employed to mildly watchable yet predominantly disappointing effect...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 13, 2022

A very funny comedy that also has heart. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jun 16, 2022

Like many comedies attempting to exist in the real world, the numerous predicaments are far too severe to be approached with even a touch of sincerity.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Sep 8, 2020

Despite its contrived origins, Twins is a surprisingly sweet, gentle comedy that sustains its humor long after the novelty of the premise wears off.

It doesn't take a genius to see how the caper might evolve with Arnie as the perfect specimen and Danny as the scheming lowlife, but everyone has fun turning the concept into a naughtier version of The Prince And The Pauper.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 12, 2019

In all, Twins is kind of fun, although it's strangely brutal at times.

| Mar 12, 2019

Here's one of those rare things: a one-joke comedy that actually works.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 12, 2019

For all of its geniality and gushing good will, Ivan Reitman`s ''Twins'' remains an advertising campaign in search of a movie.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 12, 2019

What a concept: Cast pumped-up Arnold Schwarzenegger and pint-size Danny De Vito as twins separated at birth. Funny, huh? Sure is, hilarious even, for about five minutes. But the 102 minutes remaining are a stretch for one joke.

| Mar 12, 2019

The whole movie has a warmth about it that never slops over into sentiment: there is much more here than tall-guy, short-guy jokes.

| Mar 12, 2019

But what's surprising is that Twins is somewhat sweeter than might have been expected. The mechanical plot may shake and grind unpleasantly, but gentler sounds also are produced.

| Mar 12, 2019

"Twins" starts with an overblown fairy-tale quality that seems as if it should work. But, by the finish, the movie collapses on the shoulders of the stars. It works because they both showed up and delivered the goods and kept their end of the deal.

Schwarzenegger is amusing as a fish out of water in a land full of sharks.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 12, 2019

There's a diamond at the core of this film, but you have to press down on a whole lot of coal to get to it.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 5, 2019

No matter what your thoughts are of the plot and its execution, the picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito dressed up in identical linen suits and shades will keep you laughing.

Silly '80s mismatched sibling story has profanity, violence.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 2, 2015

Here was a former Mr Universe [Arnold Schwarzenegger], by reputation one of the 'fittest' men in the world, looking as if walking normally is surprisingly hard work. Perhaps he really was acting after all.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 14, 2012

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.

| May 6, 2008

The film feels, rather than the solid comedy it is, like a massive missed opportunity.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 6, 2008

Schwarzenegger proves to be mildly amusing, but DeVito seems to be coasting on his past reputation as an audience pleaser.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 6, 2008
