Early Ivan Reitman classic released in 1988 and running 107 minutes that stands the test of time if only for the casting of odd couple Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito as long lost "Twins".Sight gags alone make it worth a view.It's somewhat dated and the script is sort of"out there"so I took 1 star off.Still,it has many other strengths that recommend it. Both leeds can act and fit the roles and the whole idea of genetic experimentation is more relevant today than it was then and so lends itself well to satire.Far better than the drug crap being made these days.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.
Julius and Vincent Benedict are the results of an experiment that would allow for the perfect child. Julius was planned and grows to athletic proportions. Vincent is an accident and is somewhat smaller in stature. Vincent is placed in an orphanage while Julius is taken to a south seas island and raised by philosophers. Vincent becomes the ultimate low life and is about to be killed by loan sharks when Julius discovers that he has a brother and begins looking for him. Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>
