Netflix adds 'new favourite movie' with only 43% on Rotten Tomatoes
Netflix has just dropped an iconic 1980s comedy featuring two of Hollywood's most celebrated stars. While it currently sits at a modest 43 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has persisted as a cherished and side-splitting cult favourite, largely due to the extraordinary on-screen rapport between its leads and the movie's wonderfully absurd storyline.Directed by Ghostbusters' Ivan Reitman, Twins features Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito as fraternal twin brothers Julius and Vincent, who were split up at birth.Initially conceived through an experiment aimed at engineering the ideal human being, the physically impressive Julius is sent away to be nurtured by scholars, whilst his unknown sibling Vincent grows into a street-smart drifter in Los Angeles. Their paths cross when Julius, now 35, learns of his brother's existence and tracks down Vincent, who's evading loan sharks, reports the Mirror.READ MORE: 'Masterpiece' shows to watch if you're hooked on IndustryREAD MORE: How much did it cost to make Stranger Things season 5?Landing on Netflix from Wednesday, 14th January, film enthusiasts have urged viewers to disregard the critical ratings and buckle up for an eccentric, uproarious comedy that emerged as one of the decade's most unexpected box office triumphs.
