Psychiatrist Dr. Blackman (an earnest and engaging performance by Rich Hall) gets an impossible job in which he has to try and help out a pair of famous professional comedians who are also conjoined twins who absolutely hate each other.
Director Frank De Palma crucially fails to find the correct and comfortable tongue-in-cheek tone that would make this slight and silly premise work. Moreover, the constant bickering between David L. Lander's debonair James and Keith MacKechnie's crude Robert proves to be tiresome and annoying instead of witty and amusing. Karen Huber as the ditsy Elegy Kaiser likewise comes across as extremely irritating and unappealing. The forced "happy" ending rings totally false, too. Only the sincere acting by both Hall and Eyde Byrde as loyal, but long-suffering housekeeper Velma are the sole saving graces of this otherwise painfully unfunny and obnoxious misfire.
