I really didn't expect much when I sat down to watch this. After all, what can you expect from a movie that has "National Lampoon" on the cover or Eugene Levy in the cast? And to a extent I got was I expected: a "Weird Science" for the 21st century with a silly script and lame actors who has a problem with timing their lines.The surprise was Kate herself or rather Repli-Kate, played by Ali Landry. I loved how she played the manly Repli-Kate, burping and guzzling beer, a big contrast with the sweet Kate the journalist. I wish the movie would have gone more into the aspect of male and female stereotypes to poke fun at them, unfortunately the producers preferred to have Eugene Levy running around shouting "penis" to everyone.
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.
Ok, it´s been done before (Weird Science, Multiplicity to name a couple), but the new twist is conditioning a girl to like the things guys like. And that´s funny! It´s a totally far out situation to see a girl act like a guy and that´s were 90% of the laughs fall. The rest fall in the usual Three´s Company mixups and is largely predictable. My main problem with the movie is Ali´s acting. In the beginning she really doesn´t seem comfortable acting her new role; she gets better at it though. Well worth watching! If for no other reason than to see how guys would cower if their girl acted like them.
