A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

"Die Zwillinge vom Immenhof" is a West German German language movie from 1973, so this one will have its 45th anniversary next year. It runs for 90 minutes and the director is once again Wolfgang Schleif, who is also one of the two writers. The title here tells you already that this is another entry to the Immenhof films, actually film number four out of five and the title tells you as well that a twin duo arrives at the farm this time, but given the fact that they are part of the title I found them surprisingly insignificant in terms of the overall story. Then again, the entire movie felt a bit insignificant. Once again, there is some financial drama, some stuff about owning the farm, some relationship drama and some other stuff and honestly it is all really generic and predictable of course with the happy ending. I am not necessarily against "heile Welt" films, but occasionally it is just too much, especially if the actually dramatic parts are executed in a manner as shoddy as they are here. The acting wasn't too memorable either gently speaking and I just don't think Horst Janson is not that good really. Brühl also needs much better material than here to shine. I think it would have been the appropriate reaction after this one to end the series, but they made one more. Oh well, I cannot say I am surprised that key players from the previous films (when it did not suck that much) like Angelika Meissner had already left the franchise a long time ago. After all, it went on for almost two decades now. I don't recommend "Twins from Immen Farm", it is definitely nowhere near the best the franchise has to offer.

Part 4 of the so-called "Immenhof series" had to wait 16 years after part 3. Well, I think that at the time of part 3 (1958) no one had the slightest notion that in the 70's the German mainstream cinema would be thàt in decline and thàt desperate that the producer and the director only could think of a follow-up on 50's material. Because that what this film is: a 50's film made in the 70's.The makers did not even bother to come up with some new ideas to the standard format: again an elderly veterinary courting the elderly lady of Immenhof. In fact there is hardly a story at all. The makers also do not bother to explain why the Immenhof is not the same house anymore.Original cast member of the first three parts Heidi Brühl can be seen as the owner; she and the twin sisters (nice girls) make it at least bearable.
