 First Half OK - Second Half Disintegrates August 3, 2009
Anton Karidian (Tennessee)
I can't fathom the many positive reviews here for REPLI-KATE, because in reality this is quite a bad film. The first half goes OK with some funny lines and situations, as the Kate clone "grows up" completely out of control. (Physically, she is fully developed on day one, whereas in reality a clone would have to begin as a baby just like us non-clones did.) I did find it funny that because of her male teachers she acquired stereotypical male attributes, such as excessive sex drive. However, I thought having her continually spout obscenities for shock effect was way overdone. Also, I was troubled by the decision to include in a comedy a scene where the Kate clone torments and then poisons a hamster in the laboratory, which causes it to explode. Animal abuse is NEVER funny!! However, I did think that having the male lead fall for the original Kate, even though she was less aggressively sexual than her cloned counterpart, was a nice touch.
But the second half of the film breaks down completely, with the attempt to set up a "crisis" in the story handled very ineptly, so that the film becomes a series of lame gags and overacting. I agree with many reviewers that Ali Landry was good in her dual role as both Kates, so it's a shame she did not have a better script to work with. Before I bought this DVD, I should have taken as sufficient warning the fact that it's not reviewed in either LEONARD MALTIN'S MOVIE GUIDE or DVD & VIDEO GUIDE by Martin and Porter (2007 editions). They left it out for a good reason, because even though REPLI-KATE has its good moments, it really is just another substandard teen flick.

2 guys think they can mold the fresh mind of a cloned hot chick to make her more like a man. They succeed and wish they hadn't. I laughed myself to tears.

Replikate is about a college student named whats-his-face. And whats-his-face is into genetic biology. Along with the team of college scientists and the proffesor played by Eugine Levy (Look him up if you dont know)... anyway, Whats-his-face and the lab geeks are working on cloning, and there testing there cloning machine out on hamsters.
That is until Kate stops by. Kate is a reporter who is interested in how the cloning procedures are going... and wouldnt you know it, she accidently gets clones! (Who saw that coming? come on, raise your hand)
When whats-his-face wakes up from la-la-land he realises he has an illeagel clone of Kate that the real Kate doesnt know about and he has to hide her from everyone, or else he's in deep *Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppppppp* (learnt that from watching the Osbournes!)
But the thing is, with this new repli-Kate clone, she may be identicle in looks and parts, but she has to learn everything from scracth. So Whats-his-face and his English speaking sidekick decide to teach her how to be the ultimate women... through there eyes... But instead of making her there ideal woman they end up creating a male in a womens body. Oh, and then the end is like different and stuff, watch it to find out.
Personaly I think Ali Laundry did a great job of playing both original Kate and Repli-kate. The two personalities come accross great, and she delivers some of the best lines i've heard in a while.
It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will make you feel warm inside...... well, it will make you laugh at least.... it's no academy award winning masterpeice, but i wouldnt wipe my bottom with something like Titanic (BLurghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..i dont remember eating that)
Replikate is something along the lines of Wierd Science (remember that, or am I showing my age?) but instead of her being a genie, they changed it to show what a women would be like if she acted like a man.
Rent it at least... it wont kill you... i'm still here arnt I?

Funnier than half the junk the studios spew out at the theaters, REPLI-KATE is the crude humor story of a genetics scientist guy who's created a cloning machine called The Replicator. Kate (played by the hot Ali Landry - who does not get naked by the way) is a journalist doing a story on The Replicator. She gets bit by a mouse and accidentally spills some blood in the cloning machine. Next thing you know there's a Repli-Kate running around looking just as hot as the original. Mistaken identity hijinks ensue.
For a low budget, straight to video shelf filler REPLI-KATE is better than expected and quite funny. It even stars Eugene Levy as a rival scientist who gets duplicated into a foul-mouthed clone.
Make sure to watch the deleted scenes for some extra funny stuff. Also for some other underrated comedies check out THE WRONG GUY, RUN RONNIE RUN, BASEKETBALL, BRAIN CANDY, YELLOWBEARD and BLACK CAT WHITE CAT.
