Review

Repli-Kate (2002) is a direct-to-Vid from the same producers that brought us American Pie. A university lab assistant working in genetics research invents a cloning process for which the professor (Eugene Levy) is taking credit. He is hoping to get promoted to assistant professor, and loves gene research, so he puts up with the professor. They have perfected cloning mature animals (they are experimenting with Guinea pigs). Science reporter Ali Landry is accidentally cloned, and the young scientist (James Roday) and his buddy, Desmond Askew, decide to educate her to be the perfect woman. They teach her to guzzle beer and belch, watch sports on TV, play video games, etc. Roday finds that a woman who acts like a man isn't his dream girl after all, but a nightmare. Askew is much more pleased with their efforts. They set up no end of complications due to the existence of two Kates, which get worse when the professor realizes he is in love with the original one.

The film had some genuinely funny moments, but, for the most part, was slapstick and/or sophomoric. Comments are generally favorable, calling the movie fun. For me, it was just another teen comedy with a few laughs and a lot of silliness. C.

Nudity Report: Landry shows nipples in the deleted scenes, and complete nudity in a long shot from the rear (which is probably a body double) and then the side. An unidentified "lipstick lesbian" shows breasts briefly near the end.

IMDb Summary: IMDb scores this 6.3 of 10.
