Darkly amusing (dark comedy if you're English) about a dodgy cop using spoof scenes from great and famous movies. Such scenes with the poodle reflects the horse in the godfather and the another scene is the Karaoke Bar and the movie Carrie. This is all set in Swansea about twins and dealing with the death of a family member. Much Love, madness and set in Wales. Wonderful, I watched about 5 times in 7 days. Got funnier and funnier, the script (See Summary) is outstanding. John Noakes and the scene with the Ice Cream van is most amusing and again if you are English the scene in bath where the twins are quizzing each other about football is also exceptional.WATCH WATCH AND WATCH AGAIN.

It's unfortunate that the Twin Town got stuck with the tag ‘the Welsh Trainspotting' as it's so much better then that rural moniker suggests. Kevin Allen's debut is assured piece of filmmaking, delivering a view of Swansea and Wales that the tourist board can't have been to pleased about. But this is where Allen and co-writer Paul Durden grew up and they know this world intimately. The film skewers a great many stereotypes of welsh culture and beats them into the ground.For anyone who's ever watched S4C, the film is filled with familiar faces from 'Pobl y Cwn' and the 'Pam fi Duw?'. This is probably the only time you're ever likely to see actors from ‘Pobl y Cwm' mixing it with Hollywood as Twin Town was to provide the breakout roles for both Ifans and Scott, who have gone on to bigger but not exactly better things. It is also filled with most of director's Kevin Allen's immediate family (including brother Keith, yes that one). Now if only Ifans would make a movie starring the two Franks and I'd be very happy indeed.

Being a Swansea girl originally, I had no trouble in deciphering the accents...Swansea is indeed an Ugly, Lovely City, and the stark and honest portrayal of life in the dull valleys of south Wales, where unemployment is high, was a piece of script writing and directing genius. The Lewis "twins" were played brilliantly by the Evans brothers, and their honest and forthright portrayal of two youngsters bored with the humdrum life was refreshing and gritty. The human touch in this film was evident from the start, and in many areas it seemed to have an almost Docu Drama type genre, which added to the realism. It is unfair to compare Twin town to Trainspotting, as there are no comparisons to be made, both should be viewed as independant films, and to link them together does the would be viewer no justice. Twin Town has all the elements of a great movie, Comedy, Drama, and in combining these,the viewer cannot help but become attached to the characters. This film made me laugh, gasp and cry.A stroke of Pure Genius.

I thought "Twin Town" was Brilliant! The actors chosen to play the "Lewis boys" were absolutely Fantastic Funny as Hell! It came on cable one night,and since I love other movies Rhys Ifans has been in I decided to watch.And It was great,not like these American "teeny-bopper" films they're trying to stuff down teenagers(me)throats!It was awesome.I think everyone should at least see it once,go rent it!
