Hubby sold me on watching this, he said it was a Sci-fi Romantic Comedy. How could we go wrong? Well, it went very, very wrong. The whole feel of the movie is off. Nothing about this movie makes any sense. Strange and creepy and not at all funny. At least we got a good laugh reading the real reviews! Don't be fooled by the 10/10 reviews.

...but in execution, it could have been a LOT better. It's one of those movies where the whole plot depends on science, but the science itself is wholly unimportant, so thankfully they elected to leave it out. Lucky too, as they would have botched it utterly. It's possible to enjoy this movie, watch out though, because it is dark. So very dark. In fact, both morally and ethically, this is a hot poker to the groin.

Also, if i misinterpreted this movie completely and it's actually a movie about how we trust white middle-aged men with a higher education too much, and forgive them too easily when they betray said trust - well, then i'm sorry. Contact me in this case - i will change the score to 10/10.

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.

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.

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.
