AN AMBITIOUS GENETIC EXPERIMENT TAKES A WRONG TURN WHEN TWINS, WHO LOOK NOTHING ALIKE, ARE BORN AND THEN SEPARATED. YEARS LATER, THE BROTHERS MEET TO FIND THEIR MOTHER ONLY TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THEMSELVES.
DeVito and Schwarzenegger as fraternal twin brothers? Hey, why not? This delightful 1988 comedy by Ivan Reitman — about genetically designed twin siblings who discover each other at the age of 35 — works out just fine, thanks largely to great chemistry between the two stars. Despite a certain amount of rough action and tension, the film really gets a lift from the palpable innocence Reitman develops, and the female costars (Chloe Webb and Kelly Preston) bring some interesting texture of their own. This is a film that walked the tightrope of a high concept and completely succeeded. To see how easy it is to stumble in a similar situation, check out DeVito and Schwarzenegger in Reitman's Junior. The DVD release has a full-screen presentation, optional French and Spanish soundtracks, optional Spanish subtitles. — Tom Keogh

- Not in widescreen.
- This copy is in letterbox (4:3 aspect ratio), not in widescreen format. If you are looking for that movie theater look I would try and find another version of this movie. The quality of the picture is also not great but it's something I would expect from a movie this old. More reviews

- The New Odd Couple
- I remember seeing this movie at the theater - went with a friend who, I knew, had an odd sense of humor, so I was ready for just about anything. I wasn't ready for Louis DePalma meets the Terminator, though! The stop-you-in-your-tracks oddity of big, buff Arnold as the twin of altitudinally challenged, less than buff Danny was just the beginning.
