Big Business is a light, high-concept comedy that leans into absurdity while quietly poking at ideas of identity, ambition, and environment versus upbringing. Built around the gimmick of two sets of identical twins separated at birth, the film finds its humor in contrasts—small-town warmth clashing with big-city cutthroat capitalism. Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin clearly relish the dual roles, using sharp timing and exaggerated mannerisms to make each character feel distinct. While the plot is unapologetically silly, the movie’s charm comes from its confidence and its stars’ chemistry. Big Business doesn’t aim for subtlety or deep satire, but it succeeds as a breezy, feel-good comedy that knows exactly what it is and has fun delivering it. The hilarious cast includes: Bette Midler as Sadie Shelton, Lily Tomlin as Rose Shelton, Fred Ward as Roone Dimmick, Edward Herrmann as Graham Sherbourne, Michele Placido as Fabio Alberici, Daniel Gerroll as Chuck, Barry Primus as Michael, Michael Gross as Dr. Jay Marshall, Deborah Rush as Binky Shelton, Nicolas Coster as Hunt Shelton, Patricia Gaul as Iona Ratliff, J.C. Quinn as Garth Ratliff, Norma MacMillan as Nanny Lewis, Joe Grifasi as Desk Clerk, John Vickery as Hotel Manager, John Hancock as Older Harlan, Mary Gross as Judy and Seth Green as Jason
