Elaine, a superficial gold digger who's the living antithesis of Ms. Perfect, and Charles, a skeezy womanizer who's the living antithesis of Mr. Right, seemingly hit it off, but nothing good can happen when a gold digger meets a womanizer as it turns out that each of them has a robot double at their disposal. Not only is this illegal, but then their facsimiles--aptly named E2 and C2--decide to ditch their lives of obedience and elope. Such real promise is totally squandered away by a lack of momentum, plus all the emphasis on petty and unfunny bickering, along with repeatedly dangling, nonsensical plot threads. So many of the lines flop and die, and the talents of Whitehall and Woodley are pigeonholed by a script that does very little to realize its full comic potential, which really is too bad. **
