An average movie

I remember very well when this flick was released, in fact, I’m pretty sure I saw the damned thing in the movie theater. Back in those days, I must have been 9 or 10 years old and I thought the whole thing was really hilarious. Sure, after all these years, the concept does really sound lame but I can’t help thinking again about this movie filled with nostalgia. Still, even though the whole thing might sound totally stupid and misguided, it is actually fairly entertaining. Indeed, Arnold Schwarzenegger, like any other major action stars like Sylvester Stallone, Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel or even Jason Statham recently,  decided at some point to get involved in some comedies but, in the contrary to his colleagues, his attempts were actually pretty decent. Indeed, the plot was rather preposterous and the whole thing was rather generic and predictable but Schwarzenegger was actually pretty funny and he managed to make fun his own machismo image. Anyway, after ‘Twins’, it was another hit for Ivan Reitman and Arnold Schwarzenegger and , a few years later, they tried their luck again with ‘Junior’ but it was a massive commercial and critical flop. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was probably not a masterpiece, it is definitely a guilty pleasure and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
