The film tells the story of twin sisters Kimmy and Dora, both played by Eugene Domingo.
The film also served as the launching movie for Domingo.
Plot
Sisters Kimmy and Dora Godonghae (Eugene Domingo) are identical twins with radically different personalities. The older Kimmy is the intelligent, domineering and Machiavellian type, while Dora is a sweet, kindhearted half-wit. Kimmy has always been jealous of her sister as Johnson (Dingdong Dantes), the man she really likes, only has eyes for Dora. All hell breaks loose when their Korean father, Luisito Go Dong-hae (Ariel Ureta) suffers a heart attack and makes Dora the majority owner of their family conglomerate in case he dies. Kimmy thinks this to be unfair and gets the help of their family's lawyer, Harry (Baron Geisler), to take care of business. A misunderstanding brings forth a plan to kill Dora, but the hired hands kidnap Kimmy instead. Now Kimmy must find a way to escape her captors while Dora must act as her tough sister and control their company in order to hide the truth from their sick father.

Much of the critical praise has particularly been given to the performance of lead actress Eugene Domingo. Czeriza Valencia of the Philippine Entertainment Portal notes that Domingo served as the funny factor in the film, since her skillful execution in playing the two roles made the situations hilarious. Lito Zulueta of the Philippine Daily Inquirer writes that Domingo's performance "runs the gamut of comic inventiveness" and "confirms her status as the country’s funniest comic ingénue".
