An executive leaves his hometown to complete a $140M deal. Along the way he loses his wallet which contains the main ingredient for closing the deal. While trying to get the wallet back he meets every manner of opposition and zany characters. I really liked Jim & Jim and the Siskle & Ebert clones. One of the funniest comedies I ever saw. 4 stars.
This movie received a 1 star out of 5 rating (=awful) in the Radio Times but I decided to watch it none the less since it starred Matthew Broderick, looked fun and some of these 'dreadful' films are quite fun.
Well, I loved it, perhaps because I felt sorry for this poor, put upon underdog, but my opinion was genuine, one of the most fun films I'd seen (maybe ever). Dumb and Dumber is similar in some respects but much too brash in my opinion and without the subtlety and charm and downright sense of fun of this effort.

This is a great movie for some laughs, but more importantly it leaves a smile on your face the next day as you think about it. Seeing Broderick's short, stubby, naked body as the kids in the school bus drive by and scream is classic! John C Reilly played a great "Jim" along with his brother "Jim." And the twins, played by Jeffrey Jones, are nigh unto hilarious. The "Evil Twin" has to take over the role of his good twin and become husband, uncle and mayor, and this creates a lot of humorous situations. When they think the twin is drunk in the bar and say that he is "shitfaced," but he was dead, was funny. There are a lot of one-liners that make you crack a smile. Overall, it's a great movie for a relaxing night with friends and popcorn...er, popcorn and friends, whichever you give priority.
It's silly, it's completely silly. Some people must have thought this was funny and I can remember I did watch it entirely in the nineties as well, but watching it now again, it hasnt aged well, to put it politely.
I started watching it (again) for Matthew Broderick's appearance, but he simply aint suited for this kind of slapstick, silly comedies. Thankfully the movie only last 1 hour and 15 minutes...

The 2 brothers named Jim are hilarious drunks. Plus there's the whole mistaken Identity thing going on, with evil twins, except that neither one of them is really the good twin.
They're both fairly evil. It's a lighthearted silly comedy, but I still think it's great.

- WissenswertesFinal credited film appearance of Marian Mercer. She would however continue making appearances on television until 2000.
- PatzerThe bullet hole in Bill's car suddenly disappears when he and Sally arrive at the Jims' house.
- Alternative VersionenIn the theatrical version, when Bill is forced to strip, the scene ends with him taking his shirt off and begins with him walking down the street covering himself with the mailbox. But in the TV version, after he takes his shirt off, it continues until he takes his pants off, then shows a far angle of him naked and Sally driving off, then it goes to the scene with him and the mailbox. The television version differs from the home-video version, as well; most notably is a major portion missing from the actual "out on a limb" event, where Bill drops his cell phone onto a leafy branch, where it stays and then starts ringing (probably a call from his business associate to try to close "the big deal", which of course he misses because he cannot reach the phone in time); this hilarious scene adds tremendously to the overall plot, yet it is wholly absent from the home-video release.
