This movie doesn't require a college degree, isn't Oscar material, and won't make you wake up in the middle of the night pondering its 'true meaning', but it will distract you for a couple of hours and provide you with the opportunity to laugh.

Perhaps I find this predicament so humorous because I tried something of the same gambit when I was younger. Not in such detail, not to such depths (altar), and certainly not with such success. But remembering my antics provokes a good laugh and so did this film.

I loved seeing Antonio Banderas (OK, there could be a period right there, but...) in a comedic role. I find him believable in any role and...so easy on the eyes. He makes acting look so easy. What Billy Bob Thornton accomplishes with only a few choice words, Antonio can do with his eyes.

As for what he and Melanie Griffith may have discovered about one another during the filming, I couldn't say. I still don't know what they have in common, I just trust them to know their hearts. But in 'Two Much' the chemistry isn't required between THOSE two on the celluloid, it is instead between Antonio and Daryl Hannah. So if you don't see sparks between Melanie and Antonio, maybe it is due to good acting in their roles as 'lovers' who weren't in love (at least with each other).

Certainly the plot wasn't as deep as the well-utlizied pools and the laughs weren't the kind that get you in the gut (except perhaps for the morning race between bedrooms with an ever-present pool in between). So, maybe I go for cheap laughs. But I also go for entertainment. This movie provided that.

So watch it with a friend and a bowl of popcorn and let yourself be entertained for a rainy afternoon. It will temporarily erase the clouds and lift your spirits.

Listen, I'll make it my point to agree with one particular reviewer who made a good point.So, this movie isn't particularly intelligent or "deep".It's not oscar worthy, and its not gonna offer up any mind blowing performances.It IS however,solid entertainment that'll give you warm fuzzies for the hour and a half it takes up. Just curl up in front of the tv when you have nothing better to do, and watch this film.Sure its lighthearted, but its feel-good, and sometimes thats just what you need.

Art Dodge (Antonio Banderas) would like to break off his engagement to fiancée Betty (Melanie Griffith), but her mob-boss ex-husband makes it impossible for him to say no to the wedding. Then Art manages to fall in love with Betty's sister (Daryl Hannah) and becomes entangled in an outrageous charade - inventing his own twin brother so he can date both women at once.

I think this crazy film is a 'one to watch' because the cast are excellent and the story line is crazy, crazy non stop. Banderez plays him and his supposed twin very well and I recommend this film highly.

Two Much. Get it? There are two women involved and the screenwriter has used his God-given talents to assimilate this tidbit of information with the common phrase "too much" (as in an excess) to arrive at the pun "Two Much." I don't mean to mock, but having watched this movie I feel I can rightly surmise that there must be a village out there somewhere missing an idiot because he was responsible for this. The humor has its moments, but is generally predictable and stale. I really can't make any accurate guesses at the intelligence on the scriptwriters, but their density much be such that light can bend around them. This film is cliche, poorly acted, and just plain bad. There are innumerable things that one can do with two hours and I suggest you partake in one of those things. Just please, do not watch this movie.

This film is a little better than what some critics have said about it.The cast s likeable and the acting is good.I have'nt read the novel that it was based on so I can't make a comparison between the book and the movie.

I love Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith. I really looked forward to seeing this movie but I was EXTREMELY disappointed. I tried to watch it 3 times and fell asleep each time. I do NOT recommend this one. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

This is one I am actually adding to my library. It's one of my favorite movies - not because it's a classic, but just because it's good clean fun and a lot of laughs. Antonio is a definite plus also. So if you've got a couple hours and are in the mood for comedy, I would highly recommend this movie. (Note-macho men may not like it that much - my kids call it a "Chic Flic".)

Gee I love that man! Good fun movie. I love the shower/pool scene. 4 stars because I've watched it twice and fell asleep both times. Had good dreams though.

Why is it that when they often have a Spanish actor, his parents, or siblings AREN'T Spanish too? Did they just choose Eli Wallach to be Antonio's dad because they liked him in another film?? NOTHING in this film works, and the actors try to hide that with silly over acting which falls flat at every turn. I expected to see some chemistry between Antonio and Melanie, since this is the movie where they met and fell in love, and yet there was ONE scene that was good, the rest was awful. Maybe the empathy came over dinners commiserating on their choosing this script. Save your money OR go buy 'Miami Rhapsody' instead, it actually IS a comedy.
