Lack of good storyline.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Best movie ever!

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

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!

John Travolta and Olivia Newton John star in this first class stinker. Trouble is they should have done some singing here. Perhaps, that would have enlivened a poorly constructed plot.When the Lord announces to his angels that he will destroy the bad world once again, everyone pins their hopes on a hopeless inventor, who owes the mob money and resorts to holding up a bank, and the teller he involves in this action.You can just imagine how bad this film is when Beatrice Straight, surprise Oscar winner for "Network," in 1976, appears as an angel. Forget it.The ending is as contrived as the rest of the film. Perfect casting is created by the addition of Oliver Reed, a much heavier devil.We all hope for salvation but this 1983 is beyond that.

"Two of a Kind" originally opened citywide at Christmas time 1983 without any pre-release screenings for the critics (and you know what they say...they must have something to hide!). True, the wheezing, inane plot and phony contrivances of "Two of a Kind" are tough to wade through, yet the film has a cartoonish kind of magic that is appealing, especially if you're an admirer of Olivia Newton-John (looking her best here). John Travolta, on the other hand, is slumming it, walking through a rather hopeless role as a would-be inventor so deep in debt he stoops to robbing a bank; Newton-John is the teller who dupes him out of a small fortune. Likable supporting performances by Charles Durning, Scatman Crothers, Castulo Guerra and Beatrice Straight as bantering angels; Oliver Reed also has fun as a dapper Satan. Cheesy but big-hearted film is a sweet fairy tale, a comic-book romance that doesn't strive for anything loftier than silly laughs and star-crossed love. ** from ****

This movie didn't get as much credit as it deserves. I guess everyone expected it to have the same power as Grease because of its stars. This movie I think can stand on its own. It has a cute story and it does have that great star power. It has times when it's funny and it has times when it's romantic and it has times when it's dramatic. So it didn't have that same spirit as Grease if you give it a chance to prove itself you might actually enjoy it and not punish it for not living up to what people expected.
