Critics' reviews

"'Twins' is not a great comedy but it is an engaging entertainment with some big laughs (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
if you’ve seen the ubiquitous movie posters--Schwarzenegger and DeVito posed against a periwinkle blue sky in identical light beige slickster suits--you’ve really gotten the best of the movie"

Michael Wilmington: Los Angeles Times
"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."

Richard Corliss: Time
"It's instantly disposable but it won't quickly disappear."

Vincent Canby: The New York Times
"Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito make it seem they had so much fun making this flabby comedy that the fun becomes infectious."

Peter Stack: SFgate
"[A] sorry, would-be comedy inexplicably became a huge hit during the 1988 holiday season (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"

TV Guide
"There is a genuine sweetness in Reitman's work that balances the innate cruelty of much '80s film comedy. But this time the gags are too feeble to provide a counterweight"

Dave Kehr: Chicago Tribune
