Two of a Kind (1983)
7/10
Likable, Obscure "B" movie for Olivia-Newton-John Fans
10 June 2015
Warning: Spoilers
There is still great chemistry between Olivia and John Travolta, even in this modest, lightweight film. It plays like Elvis' "Change of Habit" in that it seems more like a "B" TV movie than a theatrical release. The plot is similar to several other "fantasy" films, including one TV movie staring Nancy Walker as "GOD". The simple plot has God disappointed and about to erase Mankind unless two "worthy" people can be found. A cast with several good supporting actors who save the production including: Charles Durning, Scatman Crothers (both angels) and Oliver Reed as a "playful" devil! Olivia is a bank teller and Travolta tries to rob the bank out of desperation for a "death threat" that two creepy and bumbling thugs never pull off. Another shameless "plug" for The NYC Plaza Hotel! Slightly violent with a "miracle/fairytale" ending! Maltin called it a bomb! Warning! For fans only! Olivia sings several songs (including at least one that is quite familiar.),while Travolta shows off his buffed bod!
