Double the trouble, double the fun, and who would not love to watch a movie with twice the confusion, action, laughter, a great plot, and a happy ending? Here are some movies about identical twins that your kids will love to watch. These films are not only suitable for every age group but are excellent family entertainment as well.
1. Big Business
“Big Business” is a 1998 comedy movie with actresses Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin in the lead. They play the role of two sets of mismatched identical twins in the film. The story revolves around how they were born in the same hospital on the same night but got mixed up because of a drunk nurse. They are unaware of each other’s existence until one day, the mismatched twins cross paths to close down the Jupiter Hollow factory.
2. It Takes Two
Your kids will love watching this 1995 movie about identical twins. Alyssa and Amanda are two identical little girls who are strangers. Amanda is an orphan, while Alyssa is a rich girl. They live their lives unaware of each other’s existence until they accidentally meet one day in the forest. After getting to know each other, they join hands to find the perfect match for Alyssa’s father by outplaying Clarice, a socialite who wants to make Alyssa’s life miserable.
3. Adaptation
Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman is tasked with adapting a book by Susan Orlean into a screenplay. However, his issues and freeloading twin brothers make the job extremely difficult. Nicolas Cage plays the role of identical twins while Meryl Streep portrays the role of Susan. The story is gripping with some extraordinary performance. However, this 2002 movie is definitely not meant for toddlers.
4. The Identical
As the name suggests, this 2014 movie is about identical twins Drexel Hemsley and Ryan Wade (both played by Blake Rayne), who were separated at birth during the Great Depression. Both brothers were born with drive and passion for music but took separate yet converging paths. While one becomes a famous rock ‘n’ roll star, the other, also a gifted musician, struggles to please his loving but controlling father constantly. This timeless tale of love will take you on a musical journey from the 1950s to the 1970s.
5. Legally Blondes
This 2009 teen comedy film is a spin-off of “Legally Blonde” (where Reese Witherspoon played Elle Woods). It stars identical twins Annie and Izzy as Elle Woods’s young, blonde British cousins, who move to California from England for a better life. However, when framed for a crime at the prep school, they use their wits to clear their names.
Other than these movies about identical twins, you can also watch “The Parent Trap” (1998), “Switching Goals,” “Passport to Paris,” “Billboard Dad,” and “When in Rome.” These movies will keep you glued to the screen all the way till the end.
So, pick any movie about identical twins, prepare some popcorn buckets for you and your little ones, and enjoy the movie. Also, don’t forget to mention which film made your kids laugh the most in the comment section below.
