5.0 out of 5 stars
FUNNY FROM BEGINNING TO END,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Repli-Kate (DVD)
I normally would withhold a 5 star rating for a classic like REAR WINDOW or BRAVEHEART... something of that calibur. But, for what REPLIKATE is.... it deserves 5 stars. And what it is, is a movie that didn't get a sliver of recognition, a sliver of publicity and holds more bust out laughs than any movie of recent that I can remember. I gathered my brothers and sister around the other day and told them that they had to see this movie that nobody had heard about. I had already watched it 4 times and was prepared to watch it again. My sister was ready to go home, but instead we all gathered around and laughed our butts off. Contemporary comedies are all trying to capture the laughs that movies like CADDYSHACK, AIRPLANE and BLAZING SADDLES received, but most of them fail because of one reason: they're afraid to offend anybody. By the time movies hit the screen, the EXECS have cut out all the funny stuff in order to be politically correct and not hurt people's feelings. Well, in a way, that's why REPLIKATE works so well. Because nobody cared about it, and it went straight to video, THEY ACTUALLY LEFT THE FUNNY STUFF IN! The movie is a cross between AMERICAN PIE, REAL GENIUS and WEIRD SCIENCE, and funnier then all three. Lots of gender and sex jokes. The best way to describe it is to say that it feels like a movie made by the writers of MAXIM or STUFF magazine. Believe me, if you can find a copy of it, watch it, you won't be disappointed. Also, and the most important point to make is that I never really had an opinion about Ali Landry before REPLIKATE, but after watching it, I think she's a hoot. On the surface, this girl is BEAUTIFUL, but underneath, she's good. Really good. She had to have a lot of charm and charisma to pull this off and she was overflowing with it. You'll fall in love with her... both of her. It's unfortunate that a lot of people aren't going to see this gem of a comedy and miss the performance that she gives, but I think and hope that ALI LANDRY has a long career, and someday does something big. By the end of the movie, you'll be saying "I WANT ONE". HA HA

3.0 out of 5 stars
VERY guilty pleasure,
By
This review is from: National Lampoon Presents Repli-Kate (DVD)
Originally shot for theatrical release, then shunted directly to video (and that in the clearance bins), "Repli-Kate" is a surprisingly entertaining movie. Taken on its own terms (essentially a very vulgar "Weird Science" meets Maxim magazine, it's not for the easily offended), it's occasionally laugh-out-loud hilarious.Its 1980s-style drawbacks can be severe. For example, the monumentally bad ending illustrates that jokes without storytelling results in an aimless "Gotta wrap this thing up" feeling. But I've seen worse make it to theaters and into the $100 million club. They may as well have given this a chance. In a pleasant case of violated expectations, relative newcomer Ali Landry is the funniest person in the movie. She's not only stunningly beautiful head to toe (Hormone check: Lots of skimpy lingerie but no real nudity) but also a sharper, more natural actress than other models. She is relaxed and gets the jokes.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Ali Landry is a very good actress...hire her.,
By Relle8 "abeemovie" (So. CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Repli-Kate [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This movie is very under rated. Ali landry performs a dual role and does a fantastic job. As other reviewers have noted, she gets the jokes. That means she has the skill to use her facial and body movements the correct way. Her expressions fit the situation. Unlike some actresses that are just there...a bland stare or expressionless. Landry knows how to be funny, sexy, cute, and more. Wow! Please give her a role in a film, soon!
