Twin Sitters

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.

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 (!).

A great movie for all ages, especially for people with a goofy sense of humor. The Barbarion Brothers act like big kids throughout the whole movie, always putting jokes first. One of the funniest things about this movie is the brothers' outfits, kinda like a mix of David Lee Roth and The Ultimate Warrior, but even weirder then that. Can't help but laugh at em, for one scene David is wearing a phone cord with a sign on it! This is probably my fave Barbarion Brothers movie, and their last one! (come on guys make a new movie, please!)

When the film starts the brothers are trying to save up money to open a restaraunt, until they get hired to babysit two twin boys. From then on its pretty much a bunch of funny mishaps and adventures trying to get along with the twin kids, a few fight scenes with the bad guys, and the bros driving their monster truck. I always crack up at the scene where the brothers first get their big paycheck, and they totally lose it like little kids, jumping and givin high fives, yellin "MONEEEEY!" There's actually a lot of great scenes. Also of note are the songs the Barbarion Brothers wrote for this movie, they are really funny. This has got to be one of my favorite comedies ever, really goofy, but if you're only into serious movies, I'd say watch it anyway to see adult bodybuilders act like funny kids! It'll cheer you up for sure.

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.

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...
