One of the worst movies I've ever seen
I wanted to but couldn't!
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Okay first off, let's just discuss grandpa Mordechai. I wouldn't trust him with any of MY buffalo. (i own a buffalo ranch with 27 buffalo, including one domesticated buffalo) hE DOESN'T EVEN UTTER A WORD TO HIS ACTUAL FAMILY UNTIL THE CLONE CAUSES HIM TO BUST A NUT. SUSPICIOUS? I THINK YES. He does kind of become a cool dude though. Additionally, the highlighter orange lipstick color worn by Will Browning throughout the film has made it into my top 5 lipstick shades. I'm considering manufacturing the shade as part of my new buffalo-safe cosmetic line, "Buffalicious". The only thing I really found off-putting about this movie is that Andrew Lawrence doesn't appear to have a philtrum throughout the film, which is a bit concerning, but can be cosmetically fixed. (i recommend Buffalicious™) The sick dance numbers and choreography included in this film added just enough pizazz to give me a whirl. Absolutely stunning. Let me begin my emotional outpouring on the dadless wonder, Scotty. He has led a troublesome life being that he lost his father at the age of 2 to the cruel, unforgiving world. Yet he is more than just the tough cookie he appears to be behind his gorgeous maroon suit. (who needs a dad when you're already a daddy?) He hides a world of emotion that he is able to channel through his love of dancing at the junior social. As someone whose ancestors are said to be from Belgium, I appreciate the reference Twoie made to Belgium when deciding where he'd pretend to be from. "Amen!"
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.
The Other Me was good made for T.V. movie and much better than the Parent Trap (which might be due to the fact that Andrew Lawrence is a better actor than Linsey Lohan). The characters were good except maybe for the bad guys, they were kind of cheesy. Otherwise, it was cute, romantic, dramatic and of course funny!(especially the cafeteria dance scene). One of Disney Channels best, 7/10.
I wasn't expecting much when I started watching this straight to TV kids film but was surprised about how good it was. The story of duplication has been done so many times but often turns out to be lackluster, not in this case as the film was funny and very entertaining. Andrew Lawrence did a great job and conveys both sides of himself well (he seems more and more like his brothers every time I see him). The supporting cast were also good including Mark L. Taylor (Honey I Shrunk The Kids, Innerspace & Arachnaphobia). Even the token bumbling bad guys were entertaining (a rare thing in these type of films). Although they did seem a bit too similar to Harry & Marv from Home Alone nearing the end. I definitely recommend this film to anybody really, it's better than you'd think!
