DeVito displays his remarkable ability to shift from fast-talking cynicism to affecting sentiment, while Arnie reveals a reasonable talent for light comedy.

Reviews for Twins
There's enough sugary male bonding to warrant a Sensitive Guys Red Alert.
It is an engaging entertainment with some big laughs and a sort of warm goofiness.
Director Ivan Reitman more than delivers on the wacky promise of Twins in this nutty, storybook tale of siblings separated at birth and reunited at age 35.
Schwarzenegger proves to be mildly amusing, but DeVito seems to be coasting on his past reputation as an audience pleaser.
Reitman (one of the highest grossing directors of all time) has made a career peddling brain-dead schlock, but this tiresome gruel is even below his ground-level standards.
The sort of movie that seems to be made of Styrofoam. It's instantly disposable but it won't quickly disappear.
