Jumeaux Jumeaux

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!

For many millennials, the movie "Babysitters" is nostalgia for childhood, a symbol of the mid-90s era: flashy tracksuits, a Nintendo console (for our tube TVs - dandy), cool cars and hip-hop. It is under this sauce that John Paragon shows us an uncomplicated story about the adventures of twins Peter and David (the script, by the way, was written specifically for the Paul brothers).

The comedy looks pretty stupid with jokes a la Kevin McCallister, the lustful cleaner Lolita, infantile (and frankly stupid) jocks, their strange clothes, fights, chases. But for those who associate "Babysitters" with childhood, this film is about charismatic big men, about love for a home teacher, about showdowns with kids and, of course, a huge monster truck!

By the way, the film is popular only in the former CIS countries (that's why there are so many positive ratings on Kinopoisk), but at home it is almost unknown (compare the number of ratings on IMDb) and was not even shown in cinemas: either the creators understood that the viewer is unlikely to go to watch another comedy about the war of adults and children, whether because of competition with the movie giants, released in the same year.

The plot of the comedy is based on the already hackneyed story of the confrontation between children and adults.

Twins Peter and David are hapless waiters in a family restaurant, they love to cook and spend all their free time lifting weights. One evening, they accidentally save an influential businessman from an assassination attempt, and later he hires them as babysitters for his nephews... also twins! Anticipating a large fee and complete freedom in a large mansion, Peter and David agree and begin their duties, but the kids had their own plans: to bully and bring out the adults.

This movie is definitely funny, but not on it's own right. The fact is, this movie is absolutely terrible! Starring the Barbarian bros., the only reason one could have for watching this movie is to make fun of how moronic it is. However, although the movie is one of the worst I've ever seen, sometimes I give credit where credit isn't due. I believe this movie is worth watching simply because it's so unintentionally HELARIOUS. Five stars out of five!

It's another one of these movies which was supposed to be great, but ended up being so bad that it kind of looped around, going back to being great. That is, if you like really, really, really, REALLY bad movies.
