  This movie is a real must-see, especially if you are a fan of either Bette Midler or Lily Tomlin. Throughout the story you're either smiling, laughing or having a good old giggle, it's an original storyline (how often do we see that!), with subtle themes of strong, wholesome values - not so much so that its offensive or boring though. If you want to smile and spend a fun evening in, then this is the movie for you - watch out for the mirror scene with Bette Midler, silly but very funny. Two great actresses with style, a sense of fun and a lot of talent, pull this movie off to make it one of my all time, favourite DVD's. Enjoy!

  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… More

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 "<I>Airplane!</I>" Abrahams' skillful direction.

  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.

  A real joy to watch the mix-up of the country and city Bette and Lily twins. Great split screen effects. Comical situations. I like both of those funny actresses. It's an 80's treat which I had long forgotten about, but recently saw on a Superstation broadcast.

  Funny movie about twins who get switched at birth. Bette is hilarious.

  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… More

Ask yourself, do you really want to spend an hour and a half in the company of TWO Bette Midler's...?

  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.

• Michael G

  
  I saw this when it came out and aside from Lily Tomlin, I can't say why.

• Leigh R
