    just seriously bad

    Well this really is a bad movie - the plot holes are beyond belief !!! I don't think I will even waste my time explaining it - but one point that hasn't been made yet is how ridiculous was the condition of the home they were living in - 15 years old and they couldn't keep it tidy themselves - forget about their crazy mother - they showed no signs of untidiness when living with their aunt, all so neat and clean and tidy all the time - also, how on earth did they move that heavy bedroom furniture ! simply absurd - some of you have already mentioned the beach scene - utter disbelief ! what about when the doctor inspects the aunties burnt arm, didnt prescribe anything in particular or even ask what cream did she use to advise other consumers of the dangers - it just goes on and on and on - also they live in a posh built up suburb but when they co for a bike ride, all of a sudden they in fields and valleys and mountain sides - with a lady just walking a dog down the road ! please ! worth watching just for the criticism

    Potential

    This movie has potential, but due to the bidget it feels rushed and not complete. I would have liked to see this story with a bit more depth

    The Bad Twin? No! A Bad Movie.

    So why watch TV Movies?

    To be honest, when you have time to spare they are not a bad way to waste time - better than Jeremy Kyle or Loose Women. There's even the chance you may come across a great film, which I have. Though you'll more than likely get some average dross that's been rehashed a million times before, but is acted and directed well. However, that leaves the last type - The Abysmal - which this title falls into dead centre.

    I've always like evil twin stories. It's the fact that, though they are identical on the outside, inside is quite a different matter. This brings in a lot of possible conflicts between the twins. How good is the virtuous one? Can they be manipulated? Or are they the alpha? How bad is the naughty one? Are they the manipulator? Are they the alpha in the relationship? Bring in other outside influences and you have the basics for a lot of differing storylines.

    The writer, Alix Reeves, adds absolutely nothing new. It even appears he doesn' even try. What we get are all the usual stereotypes within this sub-genre; none of which are built on. The story feels stale and old. You've seen it all before and better crafted.

    Add to this the lackadaisical direction of John Murlowski and you get a low-grade film, not worth watching. There is one scene that is worth a mention. On the day of the picnic where the twin's nutso mother gets out of rehab for the day, Murlowski does a nice job of the head to head the mother has with one of her daughters. This is the best shot of the whole film. It is even memorable. Wish he'd one better with the rest.

    It doesn't help that the actresses and actors also appear weary of the whole thing too. Most of the time, they shuffle from scene to scene and speak their lines, without putting in much effort. You don't get any atmosphere from them, the directing, and the story.

    Though I do have to point out Jacy King as sister Cassie is superb at being nuts. Even the guy who played Kevin, Scott Bailey, gave a decent performance. At least a couple were taking it seriously... come on people, entertain us.

    I could not recommend this film to anyone. It's so passive and mediocre I can't even endorse it as a movie showing inspiring filmmakers how not to do it.

    Just stay away from this bad twin...

    Really ?

    What an idiotic movie ! Everytime I see a movie with Hilary Duff in it, it turns out to be a dud . And this one was a super dud .

    How far fetched can you get , the plot was just so ridiculous , too many silly scenarios, which you will just have to watch , and see for yourself !

    And as for the " creepy " twins ? I just could not stop laughing everytime they appeared.

    They did'nt seem to do very much , except wander around the mansion aimlessly , and trying to look wierd !!

    And what was with the dressing the same ??? Are they like .... 4 years old ?

    Teenage twins do not do that, not in my world anyway !

    This movie was just ......annoying !

    And, if Aunt Jen said " we will all be a family " one more time !!! ...........

      The scenes where Gail is partially buried on the beach contain two plot holes. First, the damp sand over her wasn't deep enough to prevent her from freeing her arms and digging herself out. Second, the rising tide would have taken hours to reach the point it did instead of the minutes shown. This time delay could have meant Gail's discovery and rescue.
