Two best friends -- one unlucky-in-love divorcee and the other a fun-loving bachelor -- have their lives turned upside down when they're unexpectedly charged with the care of seven-year-old twins while on the verge of the biggest business deal of their lives. The not-so-kid-savvy bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the twins, leading to one debacle after another, and perhaps to a new-found understanding of what's really important in life.

Paul Greenwood's Review
Formerly respected actors John Travolta and Robin Williams befoul their lowering reputations further than you may have thought possible here, starring as old friends whose successful business partnership is thrown into disarray with the arrival of Williams’ seven-year-old twins, whom he must look after while putting together a major deal.
You’ll be watching through your fingers at the horrors of this nonsense, full of contrived sequences that bear little relation to each other, from tanning booth mishaps and medication mix-ups to a scene where Williams puts on a suit that allows Travolta to control his actions that will render you speechless.
Both stars mug desperately, making for a hideous screeching catastrophe that goes beyond mere embarrassment to enamel stripping levels of humiliation.
