VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

dweilermg-1 In the beginning of the movie we see Travolta as a wacky inventor in an apartment full of goofy contraptions. So when his troubles begin we guess that perhaps he will use his inventions in a kind of MacGuyveresque way to get out of trouble. But no, his inventions have nothing to do with the subsequent plot of the movie depending instead on intervention/assistance from a ragtag group of angels. Despite their success in Grease the pairing of Travolta and Newton-John did nothing to make this idiotic movie likable in any way. At best it is a less than mediocre chick flick that just makes no sense.

J Kelley (thom_kitty) Just reading the other review... I don't think anyone was betrayed.I watch a movie to see acting. I don't look back at what the actors may have done in the past. In this one, both John and Olivia did a GOOD job. The movie was done to give us the idea they could do something dramatic with some comedic aspect. I think that most people had saw and locked them into the musical motif. Some people can see an actor in something and never able to see them in another production without thinking of the first. We have seen John perform seriously in Urban Cowboy, Pulp Fiction or The General's Daughter. And his comedic through Welcome Back, Kotter. As for Olivia, the only major movies she had were Xanadu and Grease. This film gave them the chance to show their acting abilities. The story of film is kinda lame, but who knows what God might have up his sleeve. It would be interesting to find out that he is just like Gene Hackman. And to find out that he liked Shakespeare. LOL. But it has the same things that many people might feel: Though we are a bit arrogant and a tad selfish, there is selfless love in us. Course, some of the characters around them can be considered very stereotypical with a little exaggeration. But the movies always take some aspect and exaggerates it a little.The actors are out there to present an aspect of life for an individuals entertainment. No matter how bad the story line or use of music, they do their best to make it seem real. The directors job is to make sure that the script placed before them is what the writer wants and can make it believable.

groovycathers The most important thing to remember when watching "Two of a Kind" is that is was really a vehicle for the two stars, based upon the idea that their chemistry in Grease would make for another hit, which sadly, in this case, it didn't. They were determined to do another film together and had looked through over 30 scripts before choosing this one - one wonders quite how dire some of those must have been...Other reviewers have already written about the plot, so I won't concentrate on that, rather on the performances and the way the film comes across.There is a pretty starry cast here - Gene Hackman plays God, Oliver Reed plays the Devil and angels include Charles Durning and Beatrice Straight. Unfortunately, as a film experience, it just doesn't seem to work - probably the reason why it did so poorly at the Box Office at the time, despite a $5m marketing budget. Lots of rewinding and stopping time, which can be confusing if you're not paying attention; Oliver Reed singing(badly); and minor characters (Olivia's flatmates, her landlord) that do nothing for the plot and tend to irritate when they appear.However, Olivia and John do make a very cute couple - I spent the entire second half of the film with a grin on my face, feeling very soppy, once they get it together.The acting on the part of the two stars is fine. If I'm nit-picking, ONJ gives a slightly uneven performance in TOAK - one or two scenes where she seems to be saying the words with a bit too much "acting", but very commendable otherwise. They both have a good sense of timing, and that comes though. There is even a "love" scene, although hardly x-rated - they keep most of their clothes on, although ONJ reported that she felt quite nervous about it at the time. She even swears in one scene, which is a bit weird the first time you hear it!I always felt sorry that ONJ had a poor run with films after Grease and pretty much chucked the acting in, bar the occasional TV movie, although she seems to be making a slow return in a few indie films in the last 5 years. I think she could of gone on to a decent film career if she'd have picked some better films in the early 80's. She does have a good sense of comic timing (she is known in entertainment circles for a wicked sense of humour) - maybe in an alternate universe could have been the Meg Ryan of her generation...The soundtrack is probably the strongest thing about TOAK - ONJ sings about half of what you hear in the film; she is head and shoulders above everything else. Olivia and John even do a duet - "Take a Chance", although it's not really anything to write home about. Give me "Twist of Fate" anyday.I am a fan of both Olivia and John and I do love this movie. However, I appreciate its faults, and I'm not going to pretend that it's something it isn't. All in all, it's not a "great" movie in the traditional sense of the word. Where you are going to get rewarded watching TOAK is if you are a fan of Olivia and/or John (especially the two of them together.) It is a romantic comedy, and not a particularly good one at that, but that chemistry between them is certainly still there after "Grease", and that does give TOAK a certain something.

Coxer99 Angels make a bet with God that if two selfish people can redeem themselves in a week, the world will not be destroyed. I'm guessing this is supposed to be some homage to Capra's "A Pocketful of Miracles." If so! WRONG! It's a disappointment in all areas. Travolta is way off base here. John tries to be a dramatic actress and is all over the place. The immense talents of Reed, Durning, Straight and Crothers are wasted in this lackluster film. The worst performance of Travolta's career.
