Reviews
Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun - Times on June 10, 1988, the idea was supposed to give a funny movie, instead the end result is a series of endless, boring almost- encounters the twins at the Plaza Hotel. The screenplay is the fundamental problem of the film. Was downright shocking disappointing that the meeting of the twins was given away. Worse than a sluggish, boring dramaturgical structure is one who does not follow the Pointe.
