Schwarzenegger proves to be mildly amusing, but DeVito seems to be coasting on his past reputation as an audience pleaser.

Reviews for Twins
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.
The film feels, rather than the solid comedy it is, like a massive missed opportunity.
DeVito displays his remarkable ability to shift from fast-talking cynicism to affecting sentiment, while Arnie reveals a reasonable talent for light comedy.
