Both babies are immediately taken from their mother, and those concerned are led to believe she did not survive the delivery.

In short, neither is equipped for ordinary life, and each needs the other to become a fully functioning human being...
...course, earnest Julius who initiates the search for his long-lost brother. But after the pair are reunited, Vincent gets the most out of their partnership: a gorgeous set of muscles to help him fend off debt collectors and a moral exemplar who finally sets him on the path of righteousness. Still, Julius doesn't come off badly: he learns to drink beer, chat up girls and use a microwave. Both stars are expert at playing dumb in highly contrasting ways, and their search for their mother has its touching aspects. The whole movie has a warmth about it that...
