“Big Business” is a 1988 comedy film directed by Jim Abrahams, starring Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin. The plot centers around two sets of identical twins who are mismatched at birth in a rural hospital. One set of twins grows up in a wealthy urban environment, while the other is raised in a poor rural area. The story unfolds as the mismatched twins’ paths cross in Manhattan, leading to a series of mistaken identities and comic situations.
The film is a modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors” and explores themes of nature versus nurture, class differences, and the power of coincidence. Both Midler and Tomlin play dual roles, showcasing their comedic talents and creating a lively and entertaining narrative.
