A film review by Mark R. Leeper
This is a not very good film for about eight different reasons. A
scientist is trying to bring his dead wife back by cloning. Nobody mentions
that it will give him only an identical twin who will be more than fifty
years his junior. May-December love stories are one thing, January-
December, something else. There is not enough story there, so a sort of
LOVE STORY is grafted on, but it too doesn't seem to understand the rules of
science and in a way that gives dangerous misinformation to the viewer. (I
hope that last sentence will be meaningful only if you have seen the film.)
The comedy is contrived, especially the football game and the last scene,
neither of which would work the way they do in the real world. With a
seeming realism, it once again says that leading theoretical researchers are
basically mad scientists. Rate it a -1 on the -4 to +4 scale.
