Crappy film
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Blistering performances.
Seriously, this is my favorite DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie), I like the plot, it kinda reminds me of Multiplicity, but with only one clone instead of three. Anyways this needs a DVD release really bad! Funny thing, I'm actually trying to pitch a series to Disney XD with a similar premise. It's basically Multiplicity meets The Powerpuff Girls. I think the Disney Channel should show this more often then they do with their cookie cutter crap like Camp Rock and Teen Beach Movie. Nickelodeon did a similar film to this last year called Splitting Adam. The boy in that film had like 5 or 6 clones whereas the kid in this film only had one clone. I also reviewed it as well but found it mediocre at best, with only a few good moments but found it not as bad as the other crap that is shown on Nick. So check this out or watch it online. It's a really good film. It's too bad Disney is sexist and doesn't make good films like these anymore. At least Disney XD ponders to boys since Disney Channel only seems to ponder to girls and I find that pretty sexist.
This is my absolute fave movie that I have ever seen!!!!!! Andy Lawrence is a great actor as Will, but he is hilarious as Twoie, the clone! I was laughing at every single scene. I have seen the movie at least 20 times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The guy who plays Chuckie, Brenden Jefferson, is pretty funny, and I liked how Scottie DeSota became friends with Twoie when they bonded about not having dads! Allana is really a brat, but in the end, she comes through!!!I adore this movie, and anyone who likes to laugh hysterically should watch it. Also, notice that everyone who commented on this movie said it was great, and no one ragged on it.
Rarely is a wholesome subject like this handled without being trite or boring. The literary device of the clone is up-to-date and shows that Will is capable of becoming more like Twoie. Of course, Twoie could have had the same effect on Will if he had actually been a cousin visiting from Belgium, but imagine how dull a movie that would be! Although the age group in the story is Jr High, Andy Lawrence is 12 and I think that age group would benefit more from seeing the movie.
When I was going to see this movie, I thought it was going to be a schmaltzy flick. But I was wrong. This movie was great! It was a little bit of everything. It was funny, dramatic, romantic and most of all, funny.
