fresh:
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.

The sort of movie that seems to be made of Styrofoam. It's instantly disposable but it won't quickly disappear.

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.
