This is a really cute movie when you don't think too much about how messed up it is to have twins and just decide to keep one each and never tell them about each other.
It was both really emotional and really stupid when one of the twins met their mum or dad, coz the parent is happy to see them but they can’t care that much if they agreed to never meet one of their children.
And surely any couple that hate each other so much that they agree to have 0 communication with them and one of their children would take more than a couple of conversations to get back together again.
The idea that two twins are basically the same person so we will just split them is such a stupid concept but also works really well in this film, it’s very conflicting.
But putting aside that and the British accents this is a really nice film.
7.5/10
