Movies like this used to play regularly in the USA. Kids could look at it and enjoy and parents and adults can look at it for the jokes.
It's about a con-artist who is pretending to be twins to date twin sisters. It's sexy, fun, hilarious, and sometimes a bit of a farce.
It's like a Steve Martin movie to us in the USA. Same type of comedy vibe. It's all made for fun and hilarious situations come up as his lies unravel, but you pull for the main character because you were with him in his journey of lies.
Does he find happiness? Maybe.
I give it a 9 out of 10. If you want good entertaining comedy and want something easy to follow and fresh to watch, give it a shot.

Funny Comedy Farce. It's What Movies Use to Be Pre-2010's.

Not the best with Pierre Richard. Not a role that fits him.
Pierre Richard is known to play clumsy, kinda dumb characters all the time. A character were everything goes wrong for him so that's the general image we have from him. In Le Jumeau (or The Twin) it's not the case and to be honest I can't see him in any other character than mentioned above. Normally I like fast paced stories so it's even a surprise to me that I found this movie just too fast paced this time. It's all going very fast what makes it a bit annoying to follow, plus the story is just not very credible. Him playing a gigolo whilst let's be honest he's not a very attractive man is just a bit far fetched. Certainly not the best movie I watched with him so quite disappointing.

loved it as a kid, love it as an adult
I watched this movie the first time when I was quite young and have never stopped really liking this movie. The two twin actresses are stunning, Pierre Richard almost makes you believe he has a twin brother. The story is far from the best every written, but some scenes are just hilarious. It's a typical 80's french comedy, which far outmatches its US remake (Two much - 1995). It's probably one of the best movie with Pierre Richard where he doesn't play a clumsy character. The whole story is nothing but a dream, maybe silly at times, but it's definitely a feel-good type of movie. If you're a fan of Pierre Richard and still haven't watched this one, by all means go rent it somewhere. It's available on DVD.
