Trivia:
Before the release of this movie, Lions Gate Films set up two official websites: one conventional site with movie information, and one site that appeared to be a promotional tool for the (fictional) cloning institute depicted in the movie. The website gave an email address and phone number (1-888-699-2672) for the "Godsend Institute;" calling the number resulted in a recorded message giving the institute's office hours. Several news outlets reported that when a few bereaved parents called or emailed the fake institute to inquire about having their children genetically reconstituted, the studio started responding to them and explaining that it was just a movie tie-in and not a real laboratory. Similar advertisements for fictional medical procedures and clinics were also produced as parts of the advertising campaigns for Gattaca (1997) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004). more

One of the year's worst, 18 May 2004
1/10
Author: anhedonia from Planet Earth

Slumming it. That's what Robert De Niro's doing in this film. Along with Greg Kinnear and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos.

The premise is certainly interesting, if not improbable. But everything that happens is so incredibly predictable, that this film loses all its intrigue.

This is one of those films where the audience figures out the mystery long before any of the characters do, so we have to simply bide our time waiting for those on the screen to catch on.

I have no idea why De Niro got involved in this mess. Surely, when he read the script, he realized this was a rotten film. Romijn-Stamos may not be Meryl Streep; heck, she might not even be Julia Roberts, but she's given nothing, absolutely nothing, to work with here.

Her character is woefully underwritten and it's obvious Romijn-Stamos is in this film for one reason - fetching eye-candy. As that, she succeeds beautifully. But, to be honest, if I wanted to see her traipsing about in tight clothing sans a bra or nude, I'd rent "Femme Fatale," which I enjoyed much more than this clunker.

This film ranks alongside "Connie and Carla," "Twisted" and "Along Came Polly" as one of 2004's worst films.
