Completely funny, with a sarcastic ending. The concept of Twins runs through the whole text. As a comedy, many details are very clever, and it is really weird humor.

But the reasoning part is actually relatively less refined, although it can make sense, it is a bit boring to use the name of spoof in the middle (

"You've been so smart for so long, you've forgotten how to be humble, over the years you've played tricks on your readers (King-Butler), and you've made unreasonable endings to surprise you (Belgian-Daughter) (Gentleman-Accountant) ), and you even put new characters in the last five pages of the book that never showed up (tough guy/liar-Damons show), as for you, you always hide clues and hide information so that we can't guess the murderer at all (Beautiful girl - Goldman) Well now, the table is turned over."

The movie lines are clever and people will like it, and fans of mystery novels must have a lot of bonuses. Originally, I thought that the character characterization was very powerful, but it turned out to be ready-made. It's a not so good movie.

Fierce and mischievous, the more the housekeeper knows, the better the pay, a weekend of murder, all kinds of metaphors, obsession with grammar, inversion of layers at the end, the dog in the mist, the poodle (the most human detective, and The Italian assistants are cute together), the stupid Japanese adopted son, sucking gas, scratching his palms, turning around and crying, homosexuality, there is also a hidden setting in the film, which is leisurely and powerful (consistently referred to as "electronic mechanical genius") the so-called mastermind. There are a few small ideas.

    As the predecessor of "Scream", "Dating Movie" and other types of spoof films, this film is a very wonderful spoof of various reasoning and suspense movies and those famous detectives. It's very interesting, and fans who like detective mystery films should not miss it!
