    Not that good. It was funny to watch midler and Tomlin characters. But storyline is pretty weak and simply predictable.

    Absolutely hilarious farce about a set of twins who are mixed up at birth. One set is raised in wealthy NYC, the other on a poor southern farm. Well-written comedy of errors is consistently quick and witty throughout its brief 97 min running time. Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler work surprisingly well together under Jim "Airplane!" Abrahams' skillful direction.

    Two great funny ladies together in the one movie! The scene in the bathroom where all the ladies bump into each other for the first time is a classic! I never stop laughing! Brilliant!

    hands down, one of the worst movies I have ever seen, making this movie was the biggest mistake ever made next to electing GWB as president.

    I like this movie. I know it's more chick flick than anything else but I thought it was fun.
    The effects used when all were on screen at the same time were really good for back then.

    When all my friends were watching the Smurfs, I was watching and re-watching this movie. It was all time favorite movie from ages 6 to 13. Its not even remotely a kids movie but for some reason I adored everything about it.

    Total 80's Cheese! It is a great idea and I'm suprised it hasn't been re-hashed into other movies by now a billion times over. But hey we still got time. I enjoyed remembering what it was like watching this when I was younger and it isn't a "horrible" movie. funny.

    This really was a poor attempt at a movie. Bette and Lily were funny, that's all that saved this, barely.

    I have fond memories of this as a child, I especially remember the take on the old Groucho Marx routine of imitating a mirror.

    Dreadful 80s role reversal comedy in which two sets of identical twins who are unaware of each others existence get into all kinds of class snobbery related mishaps and terrible, terrible outfits. Ask yourself, do you really want to spend an hour and a half in the company of TWO Bette Midler's...?

    Another film I've got a soft spot for. I just remember watching this with my Mom and her absolutely cracking up. It's well worth it just for that.

    It is a shrill, unattractive comedy which stars Bette Milder and Lily Tomlin, who play two sets of twins mixed up at birth. They have distinctly different comic styles with the former's loud brashness generally dominating the latter's sly skittishness.

    Funny comedy with Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin playing twins seperated and then accidentally reunited.

    Some nice 80's viewin.

    Unbelieveable plot but succeeds with the rich/poor twin gimmik.

    If you hate Bette Midler, it's still worth seeing for Lily Tomlin.

    Pretty fun story about two sets of Twins mismatched at birth. One set lives in the country and the other in NYC. When they finally meet in NYC, it's silly, but pretty fun to watch; even if I don't realy care for Bette Midler.

    Wow. This has to be one of the silliest premises ever. After the first ten minutes of movie, I had to say to myself, "Okay. I see where this is going." And I suspended disbelief... and enjoyed the movie. Some of the moments are so ridiculously forced that if I had been thinking about it, I would have been disgusted. But really, that suspension of disbelief does wonders for a movie. It was quite enjoyable when I didn't stop to think about the fact that it was loony. Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin were both quite funny in their roles. Will I ever see this again? I doubt it. Did I enjoy it this once? You bet.
