Two Much

Art Dodd, a charming but commitment-averse art dealer, finds himself in a comedic predicament when he falls for two very different women, both named Liz, who are unaware of each other's existence. To keep his double life afloat, Art invents a twin brother, Rick, leading to increasingly absurd situations and near misses. The film follows Art's elaborate deceptions as he tries to navigate his relationships and avoid exposure.

Two Much received a mixed to negative reception from critics, with many finding the premise convoluted and the humor falling flat. While some acknowledged the efforts of the cast, particularly Penélope Cruz in her early Hollywood role, the film was largely criticized for its predictable plot and lack of originality. Audiences also seemed underwhelmed, contributing to its poor box office performance.

• The film relies heavily on a flimsy premise that quickly becomes tiresome.

• Mel Gibson's performance is energetic but can't salvage the weak script.

• Penélope Cruz shows early promise but is underutilized in a poorly conceived role.

Google audience: Google users generally found the movie to be a lighthearted, if predictable, comedy. Many enjoyed the performances, especially Mel Gibson's comedic timing, and Penélope Cruz's dual role was often highlighted as a positive aspect. However, a significant number of viewers felt the plot was weak and the jokes didn't always land, leading to a somewhat disappointing viewing experience.

Penélope Cruz learned her lines phonetically for the English-speaking role, as she was still learning the language at the time of filming.
