Repli-Kate (2002)
Great comedy and social commentary about male/female relationships...NOT!

What a piece of trash. In summary, a scientist and his best friend accidentally clone a babe (Landry), so while waiting to figure out what they can do, she lives with them and learns life as a guy.

Decent premise for a romantic comedy, right? Perhaps, but the film kept going on and on with the worst imaginable stereotypes to the point where it becomes unbearable. It beats the horse so goddamn bad, by the end of the movie it's decomposed! I can recall at least THREE near-identical scenes where the protagonist asks Replikate "why don't we talk any more", and she always replies something to the effect of "who cares, let's f***" or "shut up, I'm trying to watch wrestling". That's what the entire movie is about: using these ridiculous stereotype to show that guys are insensitive. The scientists keeps asking Kate (out of character, might I add) to cuddle, to talk, or to do various sentimental/romantic things that are generally attributed to girls, while she blows him off in favor of shallow things like farting and burping or any retarded cliches you can imagine. On top of the horrible script, the gags aren't even funny.

This movie is clearly made to appeal to the idiot portion of the female demographic, the type that will laugh because they recognize the offensive stereotypes but aren't offended by it, instead they laugh at them simply because they're familiar elements.
