Editorial Review:
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. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 08/23/2005 Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger Danny Devito Run time: 107 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Ivan Reitman
Description of Twins:
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
Twins Reviews:
Twins 
2008-11-29 - I have enjoyed this movie since recienving it. The movie came very fast and plays wonderfully and I have watched it often. Please let the seller know how much I like this dvd.
The New Odd Couple
2008-02-23 - 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.
Not a deep movie - certainly no "Brave New World" - but a really fun trip. My two youngest (teenage boys) loved this movie, even though it was recommended by Mom.
70th Birthday gift for a set of twins.
2007-05-25 - I pasted the faces of the birthday boy and girl over Arnold and Danny.
It was a great fun surprise.
A Timeless Classic
2007-05-02 - This is such a great movie, but the dvd is really not too good. Like many other great older movies, the studio has not given this movie the proper dvd transfer that it diserves.
PLEASE RELEASE THIS DVD IN WIDESCREEN!!! 
2006-12-20 - Those of you at Universal Home Video, please please please release this great film in its original WIDESCREEN format, along with Kindergarten Cop! Both films deserve better than 10-year-old pan & scan transfers!
