35 years ago, a group of scientists experimented with the sperm of six different fathers to produce a prime specimen. Julius Benedict turned out pretty much perfect, but the unexpected twin brother Vincent ended up a short, bald scoundrel. The boys were separated at birth. The brothers are played by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny De Vito, which acts as the catalyst for the entire premise. This is a thinly scripted but rather likeable comedy with very good central performances.
