Twin Sitters

i saw twin sitters almost by accident. while looking for a movie to rent, i came across this masterpeice. after some debating about if i would rent this or something else, i chose this and i was pleasantly surprised. great one-liners and writing make this a 10.

It's even better than this awfull Hulk Hogan movie 'Mr. Nanny' with a very similar plot. Sure the actors are certainly no 'Oscar worthy' containder but at least they try and it's a honest comedy for a midnight film if you are REALLY bored...

The Barbarian Brothers (Peter and David Paul) are hired by a wealthy businessman (Jared Martin) to look after his twin nephews while he testifies against his evil boss (JAMES BOND himself, George Lazenby). Do you think the older twins will be able to handle the younger twins? Hijinks aplenty! It says something sad about me when I get a package from someone that includes MULHOLLAND DRIVE and EMMANUELLE movies and this is what I watch first. Hey, at least I didn't watch the movie where Gary Busey is reincarnated as a dog...yet. Believe it or not, the Barbarian Brothers are actually funny in this movie. Of course, it is as goofy as a later ERNEST flick. How can you not love a movie that opens with Paul Bartel getting linguini all over his face? And you get former American GLADIATOR Nitro as one of the villains. And monster trucks and stunt choreography by Spirio Razatos! Oh how I would kill to see the Barbarian Brothers take on the McNamara twins (of TWIN DRAGON ENCOUNTER fame). Female lead Rena Sofer really hit a career low a few years later, co-starring in a very unsuccessful Fox TV show called 24 (!).

This movie starts out looking like a big stinker and for the first half hour or so it is. Then it suddenly falls into place. It stops being about The Falcone Brothers (Peter and David Paul) flexing and starts being a touching story of orphaned twins (Christian and Joseph Cousins, superb as always) coming to terms with their situation. Worth renting, but probably not worth owning.

THIS is the best 90's comedy EVER made! I challenge you to find a better movie than this. The Barbarian Brothers are at their acting peak as Peter and David Falconi, two musclebound twins who are fired from their job as waiters at the world's most disgusting Italian restaurant. They try to get a bank loan (unsuccessfully) and are bemoaning their loss in a local park when three gangsters try to shoot a local shipping tycoon (played by John Paragon) who's decided to inform on his nefarious bosses' activities. Anyways, the Brothers save all the kids from the snipers, and become local heroes--and get a NEW job, working for shipping tycoon as the babysitters for his twin nephews, Bradley and Stephen. Bradley & Stephen are the world's most uptight preppy blond identical brats, and so the Barbarians face the considerable challenge of enlightening them to the wisdom of pasta, funky-ass clothes, and riding around in their monster truck. The Barbarians fall in love with Stephen and Bradley's tutor (who looks like Jennifer Connely) and end up duking it out with the bad guys. THE TWINSITTERS DRINKING GAME: take a shot every time the Butler drops a tray! I dare you!
