Unlikely twins are the result of a genetic engineering experiment in this good-nurtured comedy. It doesn't take a genius to see how the caper might evolve with a perfect specimen and a scheming lowlife, but everyone has fun turning the concept into a naughtier version of The Prince And The Pauper.

Thoughts
There's no question that Arnie and Danny are a power couple in the comedy sense, and they do look like they're having a lot of fun together in this movie. But I remember it being more fun all round, it actually ended up feeling really slow and ultimately quite boring. You could see where it was going and I just didn't have the patience to go along with them to get there.
