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.

Have to have an open mind about it
Nov 8 2003
Format:VHS Tape
Well, I admit, hearing Olivia Newton-John swear for the first time made me uncomfortable, but aside from that, the movie was not terrible. Olivia is really a great actress! She and John Travolta really did well together in this film. This movie really has a great soundtrack, too.

Two popular stars just goofing around...
Sep 6 2005
Format:DVD
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+

Fantastic!!!
April 6 2003
Format: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!!!!!!!

for John and Olivia
Dec 31 2006
Format:DVD
Ok I agree with other viewers this move is not the best in world. I also feel it is not the worst either. I will never give up that the chemistry between John and Olivia is awesome. They did it in Grease why is it not in this move. I think the acting between them made the movie at least good if not a masterpiece. I agree the story line and the direction could be much better. The bottom line in this movie is that John and Olivia has the charm to make romance on the big screen. The whole freezing and rewinding thing gets a little out of hand. It is a fantasy that is a make believe story if you will. A fantasy like Xanadu that turned into a cult classic, failed at the box office. I think it is a fun a light movie that is goofy and cool at the same time. John and Olivia made the acting work were direction was short. I think they should try another romance/comedy type movie again. I think with a great director and producer it just might be something really worth seeing. John is still in the spotlight with movies. Olivia just cut a new album called "Grace and Gratitude" that she just finished a tour early in Dec 2006. I agree with others the soundtrack is great as well.
Listmania!
