Vi presento l'altro me

This movie is very funny and extremly witty. It is about a 13-year-old named Will who has failing grades. To get a good grade in science, he purchases a ocean pet kit from Ocean Pets Inc. At the ocean pet labs, two of the workers discover how to "hyper-clone", and to test it, they clone a mouse. One of the workers leaves the cage door slightly open when they leave. The clone mouse notices, and pushs it open. A cat nearby pops out of it's cage and scares the mouse. The mouse tips over the beaker with the clone formula in it and it drips into the kit that Will gets. When he gets it, he pours the ocean pet liquid in and then can't find the stir stick. So he takes his comb and stirs with that(it has some hair on it). Since the clone liquid is in that, it creates a clone of himself. The clone is smarter than Will, and goes to school instead of Will. Meanwhile, the workers try to track down Will to get the clone....

When I first saw the movie, I was only going to watch it because I knew Tyler Hynes would be in it. But when I started watching it I liked the movie because it was funny, not just because he was in it.

I really enjoyed this movie! Sometimes it helps when you have zero expectations, but this movie really turned out to be a surprise and I would have liked it anyway. The story was a bit far fetched, but no more than you average fantasy. However, it had some really great stuff going for it. Andrew lawrence did an impressive job. He was totally believable in both roles, and was in general a pleasure to watch. The writing was tight and the direction good. I like most kid movies that have a good story, message and a sense of humor. This one had all that and more. This is a kid movie that I think anyone can enjoy. It's creative, entertaining, insightful and has a number of good messages. Parents will enjoy it right along with their kids, but you don't need to be either to watch this one; it's just plain fun for all ages. It had a weak point or two - the villains were perhaps a little too silly, but in general was as good as could be expected for the type of movie it is. Highly recommended. Four stars out of five.

Very good subject, decent screenplay (but could have been better), swinging direction: decent at certain moments, insufficient in what could have been a good action scene just before the finale. Very good young lead who holds up well to the commitment of two roles. This film would deserve an edited remake by good people. Probably current Disney executives either do not know it or do not see its potential. Acceptable editing but could have been better. Soundtrack sufficient. Last thing: Very nice food hunting sequence in the kitchen with the two main characters trying not to be seen together. Probably the best in the film.

Rarely is a wholesome subject like this handled without being trite or boring. The literary device of the clone is up-to-date and shows that Will is capable of becoming more like Twoie. Of course, Twoie could have had the same effect on Will if he had actually been a cousin visiting from Belgium, but imagine how dull a movie that would be! Although the age group in the story is Jr High, Andy Lawrence is 12 and I think that age group would benefit more from seeing the movie.
