Garcia stars as Ruben and Robby, twin brothers who were raised separately and have become total opposites. Ruben has recently inherited a 40,000-acre Santa Barbara estate from his eccentric guardian, Mona (Holland Taylor). A friend to artisans and migrant workers, Ruben wants to transform the land into a commune, while the cold-hearted Robby wants to steal it from his brother, develop it and make millions. Muddying the waters are Lou (Alan Arkin), a quick-thinking ex-cop and pal of Ruben's who is able to manipulate the law to his own purposes, Eddie (Joe Pantoliano), a shark lawyer who plays both sides against the middle, and Ruben's ex-wife Laura (Rachel Ticotin). When each brother masquerades as the other for a time, however, some insights are gained by both. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Critic Reviews

, USA Today
Overlong and overreaching.
Rob Thomas, Capital Times (Madison, WI)
The principals all seem to be enjoying themselves, so when do we get in on the fun?
Dan Lybarger, Nitrate Online
An inpspired Alan Arkin and a great Cuban soundtrack can't make up for fuzzy politics and a limp script.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
Fast-paced comedy romp which affirms the triumph of good in the great dance of life.
