Twins


Another movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger during the period where his staple was comedies.  Twins also stars Danny DeVito, surely this must be a winner right?  The premise is interesting enough but the concept cannot carry the whole movie through.  We see a pair of twins separated at birth (they were super babies too, as in, they were part of an experiment with Arnold carrying all the good bits and Danny all the leftovers), thirty-five years later, they find each other again and go on a journey to find their mother and have their own family.  The film doesn't have many humorous moments and it seems the potential of the film could have been great.  The subplot with the assassin felt superficial and out of place, being just a weak excuse for the two brothers to develop a bond.  It is not a horrible movie but it doesn't have much in it that makes it stand out.
