Back in the 1940s in the small town of Jupiter Hollow two families are ready to bring new babies into the world. One family is stinking rich from the city of New York, the other poor and living in the country. After both families introduce twins a dopey nurse accidentally switches the twins. Jump ahead 40 years or so and the two rich "twins" are ready to sell off a factory in Jupiter Hollow where they were born. Meanwhile the other "twins" go to New York City to fight the sell off of the company. So both sets of twins are at the Plaza Hotel in New York City not knowing that they were switched at birth.
Some good laughs along the way and both Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler show their strong ability to play comedy and play two completely different characters in the same film. It was directed by Jim Abrahams who did AIRPLANE and NAKED GUN so you know its got to be funny. He also does a very good job in keeping the pace going for really the entire film. Also includes tune 'Higher Love' by Steve Winwood. Also starring Fred Ward, Edward Hermann and Michael Gross.
