_**Good concept and Ali Landry shines, but a little too much sleaze**_ A student working in the genetics department of UCLA (James Roday) inadvertently creates a clone of an unavailable student he wanted to date (Ali Landry Monteverde). He & his sidekick (Desmond Askew) program the clone to like guy things, like beer, pizza, football and sex, but things don’t turn out as they imagined. Eugene Levy is on hand as their professor. “Repli-Kate” (2002) has a good concept, similar to “Weird Science” (1985), but with less innocence. Roday makes for a well-meaning protagonist while Askew is likable as the sex-obsessed sidekick, albeit a tad annoying. Meanwhile no-name Landry shines as the titular Kate, both real person and clone. She’s reminiscent of Nancy Kovack and makes the movie worth checking out. Unfortunately, for me, the flick’s ruined by a little too much sordidness. For instance, there’s a foursome scene that includes a dog. Need I say more? The film runs 1 hour, 35 minutes and was shot at UCLA & areas nearby. GRADE: C/C-
