A miserably bad fantasy comedy that's so ill-conceived and so relentlessly unfunny it's truly astounding how it went from being shopped to genuine working stars and then, remarkably, to Universal Studios and no one thought to kill it on the spot, Twins is a buddy comedy that no one needs or wanted.
