You really need to see this film to believe it actually happened.
So Ill keep this review as spoiler-free as I can.
But basically the film begins by introducing us to a 56-year-old man named Robert Shafran.

On the surface he couldnt seem more unremarkable.
As a new student, he didnt know anyone there.
But they all seemed to know him.
Total strangers kept walking up to him and slapping him on the back and asking how his summer was.
And, oh yeah, they kept calling him Eddy.
It was like staring into a mirror.
Says Robert, The door opened and there I am!
It turns out that they had ben separated at birth and adopted by different families.
This fluky coincidence led to some press coverage, including an article inNewsday.
David was David Kellman.
And no, it wasnt him in the picture.
The two men were his brothers.
It seemed like a slam-dunk for nature in the age-old scientific debate of nature vs. nurture.
They even made a cameo in the Madonna movie,Desperately Seeking Susan.
This is the giddy, feel-good part of the movie.
But sadly, it doesnt end there.
And youneedto see the movie.A
