I think the reviews on here are probably by the film's production team.
I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it at least a little--I did see it through to the end...but it's a very low budget movie and much of the humor is of the dick-joke variety (not that i don't like that type of humor).
The movie is slow paced, takes place mostly in one or two rooms, and has about 6 or 7 characters.
That being said, I liked the actors in the film, especially Kevin Machate (I actually had to do a bit of searching for his name just now, the IMDb page doesn't have a picture of him, that's how low-budget this film is lol).
There were some laughs, sure, but honestly not that many (and I laugh easily, even at the dumbest stuff).
A few times during the film, the comedy is literally spoof-like, making fun of itself, which really lowers its value.
Worth a watch if you have literally nothing else to watch...
Oh, and the title bugged me... Copycat is the name of the awesome 1995 Sigourney Weaver serial killer movie! At least name is CopycatS or something different, come on!!!

OK, I get where the negative reviewers are coming from--the plot seemed formulaic at times.
That being said, Allen executes it well and manages to make it seem fresh. I was taken completely by surprise by much of the film.
I love Joaquin Phoenix, even more-so after this movie. Wow.
Also, as someone who enjoys literature and philosophy, the quotes thrown into the script were great; one of my favorites was "in order to really see the world, we must break with our familiar acceptance of it". This made me pause the movie and look up the quote's author (Merleau-Ponty), and any movie that makes you think and learn new things like that is surely worthwhile.
Give it a chance. I almost didn't watch it, but am sure glad I did.
