One of the saddest things about the end of the 1970s is that most folks in Hollywood didn't realize until too late that they were over. I can honestly say I truly noticed how music,TV and movies all entered a grand... Full review
Has its moments, but pretty bad over all.

With a cast this good, it's natural to expect a lot more than this script could deliver. John and Olivia are reunited for the first time since Grease, and the results were a big letdown for a great many people. Our... Full review

"Two Of A Kind" originally opened citywide at Christmas-time 1983 without any pre-release screenings for the critics (and you know what they say...they must have something to hide!). True, the wheezing, inane plot and phony contrivances of "Two of a Kind"... Full review
So dated and so 80's.

I'm totally speechless about his one. The story and plot are a joke and the sooundtrack is so dated. Yet, one cannot deny the charm John and Olivia produced. Listen for the voice of Gene Hackman as God, and see the... Full review

This movie's unintentional humor is just as funny as the real humor intended to be. There's a lot to watch for here, the once-hot trendy hairstyles hairstyles, edible sunglasses, an small role by an up-and-coming Kathy Bates, are all in here.... Full review

The most important thing to remember when watching "Two of a Kind" is that is was really a vehicle for the two stars, based upon the idea that their chemistry in Grease would make for another hit, which sadly, in this... Full review

I keep thinking that this movie is called "Twist of Fate," but that is really one of the songs in a soundtrack that did better than the movie. Captivating enchantress Olivia Newton-John is teamed up once more with her "Grease" co-star... Full review

Even their soundtrack offerings were gold including "Only the Lonely" (from the forgettable Matthew Modine film VisionQuest) providing a solid track and great kick-off to the Greatest Hits package while "Ask the Lonely" was perhaps the only good thing about the dreadful John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John 1983 movie TWO OF A KIND . ...

The funny thing is, for all of this heavy traffic, the script is amazingly lightweight.
It sounds like the results of an all-night script conference at the funny farm.

Two of a Kind is only worth watching for 80s nostalgia buffs that aren't applying good taste to their personal studies, and also for the three catchy Olivia Newton-John tracks on the soundtrack ("Twist of Fate", "Take a Chance", and " Livin' in Desperate Times"). ... Full Review
