Adam Slope (Jonathan Silverman) is a college professor and a genetics scientist. He has difficulty dealing with the death of his beloved wife Dawn (Jennifer Finnigan). With his student assistant's help, he tries to clone his wife but he has trouble recreating her love for him.

Adam's obsession is very uncomfortable. It starts off creepy and never gets pass it. The movie tries to be fun but the creepiness never allows it to be fun. The premise has been done before like in Creator. The Groundhog Day aspect contributes more surrealism than reality. I can live with all the awkwardness but the creep factor wins out in the end.

This idea, this cast, there is a better movie in there that was never made, it's not even somewhere on the cutting room floor.

From Silverman especially I for one was hoping this would be a return to his Weekend At Bernie's roots (remember when he used to work?) or along the lines of multiplicity. Instead he is semi-dark and obsessive but just doesn't pull it off.

Save your time.

When you're watching a movie who clones his dead wife, you know what the premises are. The fun is that he needs her to be the same woman he fell in love with, but that seems more and more impossible. And his selfish motives to make her alive again serves up delightful situations and good plot twists. I had a good time, and yes, I would watch it again.

I might understand this film if it actually made me laugh with some dark comedy. But it fails to do this in every way. With doing that it then Starts showing some rather creepy angles to it. Don't get me wrong the acting isn't too bad. The story has some makings of something good. But it fails in every way possible it.

Sorry but avoid it.

I wanted to like this movie more than I actually did. It's quirky, and I liked that. However, I found that I had very little sympathy with the main character, as he had so very little awareness of anything but his own selfish desires. On a similar note, the movie itself had very little respect for life in general, giving it a rather cruel vibe. In the end, I would say the main character ended up with a lot better outcome than he deserved.
