Upscale New Yorkers Sadie (Bette Midler) and Rose (Lily Tomlin) think they're twin sisters, but what they don't know is they were separated at birth from their true identical twins -- Southern blue-collar types also named Rose and Sadie, and also played by Midler and Tomlin. The two sets of twins cross paths some 40 years later on the streets of Manhattan, setting up a hilarious story of mistaken identities, split personalities and trouble times two! (Per Netflix.com)
Grade: C+
Ok, this was one of those movies that had me cringing and thinking "COME ON!!" This movie kept that feeling going by having the "twins" switching places (without knowing it), being in the same room, missing each other by a hair, like one getting on one elevator, while the other is getting off another. It was funny, it was cute, and, once again, another thing I enjoyed about it was the originality, and the acting by Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin was great, both playing two people, and making the distinction between their characters obvious. It was a good watch.
