Product Description

John Travolta stars in this unique blend of comedy, fantasy and romance as an unsuccessful inventor who robs a bank in order to keep up payments to a loan shark. But the fast-thinking bank clerk (Olivia Newton-John) tricks him and keeps the money. Meanwhile, up in Heaven, the "Supreme Being" is talked out of doing away with mankind by angles who promise a miracle; they're convinced they can make these two equally selfish people perform a great sacrifice for each other.

3.0 out of 5 stars Two popular stars just goofing around..., September 6, 2005

By	jon sieruga (Redlands, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Penniless inventor John Travolta, who owes money to some underworld types, decides to rob a bank but gets duped by the sassy Australian teller (guess who?), an aspiring actress who uses the stolen loot to do some SHOPPING! A fun, brainless doodle, "Two of a Kind" (terrible title!) fails to showcase Travolta or Olivia Newton-John to any particular advantage, but they do have a warm rapport and certainly look good together on-screen. The plot-thread with the goofy angels (and Gene Hackman as the voice of God) gets tiresome, the special effects are over-used, and the location at the film's climax is clearly a studio backlot, but there are some big laughs and Newton-John is very attractive. C+

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!!!, April 6, 2003

By	"olivianewton-johnrules" (Wales, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Two of a Kind [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Oh my God! What was up with most people in the eighties? How could this have been a flop movie? And Xanadu!? I think this is a really good movie, i have had it not even a day, and i have watched it 5 and a half times and know most of the words! I love Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta together, i think they are brilliant, they work so well together. I reccomend this to any Olivia fan (and probably 2 john fans too!). It is funny, frightening (maybe not to grown ups but it was for me!), happy, sad, and Brando the cat is so cute!! (olivia's cat in the movie!) I laughed, cried (i hate seeing olivia cry!) and i hid behind the cushion! A great movie! OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN IS AMAZING!!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, March 21, 2006

By	Layla Hughes "Lephughes" (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can't help but love this movie. I was in love with John Travolta as a kid and Olivia Newton-John was my idol. So, as cheesy as this movie is, I still can't help but love it. Also, if you think about it, the story is a very good one with a great moral.
