...pairs have not seen each other since infancy, when a shipwreck separated the Syracusan pair and their father Egeon (Wade Wilcox) from the Ephesian pair. No one realizes that the entire family is now roaming the streets of Ephesus. The twins are constantly mistaken for each other, confusing not only themselves but also the residents of Ephesus...

...elsewhere are sufficient here. What these actors lack in characterization, they make up for in physical comedy, not only in the histrionic gesticulations and cartoonish violence, but also in minute details, such as droll facial expressions.
