National Lampoon's Repli-Kate

Is it possible to _not_ laugh of the movie? Great acting if i must say so.. Ali Landry playing as a sexy and natural woman, trying to find the right one and the right job inside genetics... Well, _most_ men's aint always looking for that type of girl, but those who do, got some brain.. :) No wonder why this movie was as cool as i thought it would be.. those who produced this movie also produced my all time favorite comics, American Pie 1 & 2! A top notch this one.. alltho you sure get abit confused in the end by all the clones and the chit chat, but still, a TOP NOTCH! :) Don't miss this one..!

If you're the type of guy who watches "The Man Show" and professional wrestling on TV and reads magazines like "FHM" or "Maxim", then by this movie immediately. You'll love this film. This movie is sort of an updated version of "Weird Science" for the guys who were the right age to love that movie when it came out in the 80s.

Just like "Weird Science", there's the nice guy and his somewhat funny and somewhat annoying friend. Instead of being kids in high school they now work in a lab at a University (I think they filmed it at UCLA), instead of parents they have a controlling boss, and instead of a mean older brother they have something far much worse. They don't create a woman from a Barbie doll this time, they clone a real woman. So, they have the original woman to deal with.

The girl is updated too. The guy and his friend mold the clone into the ultimate man in a woman's body. She loves drinking beer and watching sports. The type of guys I mentioned at the beginning of this review would do anything to be dating a girl like this.

However, for everyone else, the movie does have some nice moments. Some of the actors give funny performances including Desmon Askew and (the always great) Eugene Levy. Ali Landry does a very good job in both her roles (playing the real girl and the clone). Also, the special effects for the scenes where the real girl meets her clone are fairly well done.

Like I said, this movie is made for a certain type of man, but there are a few things in it that would appeal to other types of people.

Yes, this comedy is as stupid as any American-Pie-Style movie. But the difference between `Repli-Kate' and others is humor, that became more lambent. This film doesn't try to sway you, `Repli-Kate' is just sexy and funny performance! But there's only one minus - soundtrack is really worthless.

And Ali Landry was at least great! She managed to combine represent two completely different characters: feminine Kate-original and Kate-clone(I really enjoy her dialogues, 'cause of her vocabulary, that contains only phrases from the movies and TV shows). So I think that Ali Landry is very talented young star. She didn't damaged by silly teen comedies and I hope that her following movies would be more serious.

So, 6+/10

The Acting was weak, the science was completely nonsensical, but for some strange reason, I still enjoyed myself. It was fun, as long as you weren't looking for a reason to not like it. I mean there were plenty of weaknesses in the film, but I can't believe the makers didn't know that. It's all about just telling a simple fun story.

Eugene Levy looks like he was having fun.

This is a really dumb movie. But it's also a really FUNNY movie. The science is questionable, the plot is predictable and the acting hardly the stuff of Oscars. But the movie is a HOOT. Funny funny funny, with pretty girls and bawdy humour.
