I watched this as a kid, I can't remember if on Betamax or on TV but for some reason this is one of the films I have a fond memory of. The acting is poor, the characters are totally miscast and the special effects have dated so much. The tune that keeps playing is bugging me as it appears in another film, I'm thinking Ghost, I may be wrong. Not sure how a younger audience will take this film, but for me it gets and average 5 for the nostalgia factor. It did have something going for it in the early 80s, but having seen this now a few times in almost 40 years, to me has now lost it's appeal. But for those that like 80s films and not seen this, it is worth a watch.

This film is very poorly executed and a massive missed opportunity. The film feels a bit of a rip off of Twins and Step Brothers but minus all the jokes and laughs. The "twins" in this film are totally miscast and it doesn't work well on screen. The jokes in this are none existent which didn't even raise a single smile. 2 none identical twins, 1 a bit of a loser, the other successful looking for their birth parent. Sound familiar? Despite having a stellar cast, give me the Arnie/Devito film over this lazy film every day of the week. Oh, and the relationship between the 2 brothers is horrendously dull compared to the recent Ferrell film, Step Brothers. To the writer of this film, do the world a favour, go do a space walk without a helmet.

It's ok. Bit long winded, all 6 seasons could easily be condensed into 1 hour tops. I'm not feeling it for any of the characters, I believe they have all been cut out from the same piece of cardboard. Acting is a bit dull, and it isn't really anything new. If you've seen hundreds of cop shows, you've seen all this series has to offer. I did enjoy it at the start, but just feels like this goes around the houses, and not in a good way. Quite a few of the characters have that smarmy smugness about themselves, and it soon gets tired. You could easily pick a random character and slot them into most of the scenes and give them the lines. It is one of those shows that some will love it and some couldn't care less.
