 BIG BUISNESS December 20, 2008
Pete Doherty (UK)
When I was a kid, I had a tape with Big Buisness and Beetlejuice on, recorded off the TV. Both COMPLETELY different movies but I loved and still love both of them.
Big Buisness is one of THE funniest movies I have EVER seen, I NEVER get bored in the slightest watching it. I will say that Lily Tomlin is great as Rose (both twins) but Bette Midler steals the show and makes Big Buisness the movie that it is, I would actually say that Bette Midler and Sandra Bullock are equal as THE best comedy actresses EVER, her character, Sadie (again, both twins) is hilarious!
The movie starts with an upper class set of parents and a lower class set of parents both going to the hospital to have their kids, they end up in a very small and basic hospital and the nanny mixes the two sets of twins up. The upper class twins end up running a very successful buisness which was their Dad's and the lower class set of twins end up trying to save their home town getting destroyed, except the upper class Rose and the lower class Sadie aren't completely happy with their lives and both want to do the exact opposite of what they're doing, it was as if they were seperated at birth, ha ha.
That's the basic storyline but it really is a brilliant comedy, Bette Midler may have a good voice and made a classic song with "Wind Beneath My Wings" but she is at her best when she is making a comedy movie.
5 stars out of 5.
I love this film November 12, 2008
80's film fan (London)
I have loved this film since I was a little girl in the 80's, even had to buy it again on DVD. It has a simple plot but is a classic in it's own right. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon on the sofa. I wish they made more films like this these days.

This film is one of the funniest film's EVER!!!!!.
Bette Milder & Lily Tomlin are pure gold to watch.
It's got a really simple plot, In a small town of Jupiter Hollow, two sets of identical twins are born in the same hospital on the same night. One set to a poor local family and the other to a rich family just passing through. Then the story flashes forward to the 1980's where the mismatched sets of twins are about to cross paths following a big business deal to closedown the Jupiter Hollow factory. The film is shot in New York.
Bette Midler is Fxxxing brillant in this film and will have you laughing every second of this film as the poor Sadie,
"Sometime I find Myself So Bored I'm Just Praying For A UFO Sighting And I'll Stand Here And Say 'Come And Get Me Come Get Me'
Please Buy it.

I loved this film! Reminds of being a child and sitting at home with my mum while we were chilling out. It is a bit predicatble and a bit silly but what better way to spend a cold Sunday afternoon, curled up on the sofa watching a cheesy film!! Love it!

While there was nothing essentially wrong with this film, it was dated, with a cliched plot, and it is true to say you knew the end within the first ten minuites. That said it was watchable, and you can enjoy it, its just not one you'd want to watch again in a hurry.
