Repli-Kate (2002)
6/10
more off-putting than any bit of turn-on

Ali Landry. The other pretty girl from WHO'S YOUR DADDY. So, I did some research, and found she was in this. Well, to come straight to the point: Would I advise it to Ali Landry fans? Let me put it this way, if you don't like Ali, you needn't bother, because her appeal is pretty much what the movie is about. But some fans would be put off by her performance (that is, the way the script sends her careening out of control all over the scenery. She is in the dual role of the glam knock- out and the clone of the glam knock-out. Bear in mind that the clone has the body of a former Miss USA but the mind of, like, a 10 year old ill-behaved boy.

I think she shot her whole showbiz career in the foot with this belching, beer-swilling, sex-crazed character, attracted to everything bad and embarrassing. Particularly embarrassing.

I kept thinking about a movie that nobody else here is even gonna have ever heard about. EMBRYO, from around 1976. Not as if that one is some grand old classic, quite the opposite - it was trash. The other movie that kept popping up for me, was SPLASH, from around 1984. Don't try to tell me the people who made this, didn't see SPLASH, 'cause right down to Eugene Levy, there are some similarities, especially in the far-off public nudity scene.

All in all, if you like Ali Landry, don't think you're gonna like this all the way. As a showcase for Ali, this one has some good moments. But loads AND LOADS more bad ones. I mean, LOADS. Ranging from kinda disgusting to just embarrassing AND BECOMING QUITE THE HELL IRRITATING.

Well, if you're an idiotic schoolboy type, you're gonna guffaw through almost the whole thing.
