I wanted to like this movie more than I actually did. It's quirky, and I liked that. However, I found that I had very little sympathy with the main character, as he had so very little awareness of anything but his own selfish desires. On a similar note, the movie itself had very little respect for life in general, giving it a rather cruel vibe. In the end, I would say the main character ended up with a lot better outcome than he deserved.

Adam Slope (Jonathan Silverman) is a college professor and a genetics scientist. He has difficulty dealing with the death of his beloved wife Dawn (Jennifer Finnigan). With his student assistant's help, he tries to clone his wife but he has trouble recreating her love for him.

Adam's obsession is very uncomfortable. It starts off creepy and never gets pass it. The movie tries to be fun but the creepiness never allows it to be fun. The premise has been done before like in Creator. The Groundhog Day aspect contributes more surrealism than reality. I can live with all the awkwardness but the creep factor wins out in the end.

Hubby sold me on watching this, he said it was a Sci-fi Romantic Comedy. How could we go wrong? Well, it went very, very wrong. The whole feel of the movie is off. Nothing about this movie makes any sense. Strange and creepy and not at all funny. At least we got a good laugh reading the real reviews! Don't be fooled by the 10/10 reviews.

This idea, this cast, there is a better movie in there that was never made, it's not even somewhere on the cutting room floor.

From Silverman especially I for one was hoping this would be a return to his Weekend At Bernie's roots (remember when he used to work?) or along the lines of multiplicity. Instead he is semi-dark and obsessive but just doesn't pull it off.

Save your time.

I might understand this film if it actually made me laugh with some dark comedy. But it fails to do this in every way. With doing that it then Starts showing some rather creepy angles to it. Don't get me wrong the acting isn't too bad. The story has some makings of something good. But it fails in every way possible it.

Sorry but avoid it.

At the time of writing, the score is 9.2 of 10. I should have known better, no movie ever scores that high, especially one with the plot described on IMDB at the time of writing. But it sounded at least as though it would be half interesting, and I couldn't have imagined that a faked score could be so high and not have some redeeming features. But alas, awful. I fast-forwarded through the last two thirds of the movie, and even watching in 8x speed, I felt I was wasting my life.

Acting was awful, plot was awful, direction awful, this site's credibility of recent times: AWFUL.

Acting = 1/10 Plot = 3/10 Entertainment = 2/10 Snooze-factor = 10/10

Anyone with half a brain can't rate this movie more than a 4. So bad, now I'll never get back the 2 hours of my life. Banging my head against the wall for the same time might get a better rating. Don't waste your time like I did.

This movie personifies the debate of whether cloning is humane through a make believe story of a college professor who loses his wife and repeatedly trys to clone her. The film is very light hearted and tactful maintaining its family friendly theme but when things start to go haywire a beautiful message develops. Great pacing and enough comic wit to keep everything upbeat and in good spirits. I give this a Good movie rating when seeking something clean and fun.

Fun and also confronting the debate of cloning and touching the realness of personal loss presented in a pleasant way I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure

The story, plays, cinematography, edit,... are all low quality.

Like someone has already said, just creepy and a waste of 90 minutes.

I can't believe that anyone would give this more than four stars. This is the death of online reviews.

Andover is funny in small parts, but not for the most of it, so it has earned two stars. Overall, the acting was mediocre, if not dire, with the best performance coming from Scout Taylor-Compton. I find the movie more of a horror than a comedy and many of the jokes just do not come off. Andover looks like something that a group of college students would produce and the storyline lacks any substance. It's not totally clean or funny like the top review says and leaves much to be desired. I regret wasting 90 minutes of my life on such tripe.

When you're watching a movie who clones his dead wife, you know what the premises are. The fun is that he needs her to be the same woman he fell in love with, but that seems more and more impossible. And his selfish motives to make her alive again serves up delightful situations and good plot twists. I had a good time, and yes, I would watch it again.

I have seen bad movies but that was a whole new level. Worst acting ever coupled with complete nonsense story line. Dark comedy is a misleading remark for this movie. All scenes are either annoying, or disturbing or predictable at best. Tries to teach a lesson for people with significantly low IQ level. The worst 90 minutes of my life

So starting by the plot itself which is far from original ,,, " check Multiplicity for Michael Keaton and Repli-Kate for James Roday" ,. but it has been almost 20 years since we've seen a good comedy about cloning ... so i'm gonna give it a pass .

The script started a bit slow and dull but it picked up really quick when the cloning and the fun started ... as for the comedy i wouldn't say it's the funniest comedy ever ,, but it works and even if i didn't laugh or giggled i kinda enjoyed it.

Cast wise,, Jonathan Silverman is well known on TV and he tends to do good in the nervous comical roles, same goes for Jennifer Finnigan and Scout Taylor-Compton .. they all did well.

It is enjoyable movie , recommended.

This makes groundhog day look like an academy award winner! Do Not Watch it! it's completely useless!

Thought this was going to be a goofy romantic comedy but it had a much darker twist. I love when a movie shifts your loyalties, without any spoilers at first we're pulling for Jonathan Silverman's character but it gets to a point where you're like dude...no. Just...NO.

This movie benefits from not being a big studio release because I can't imagine some of the scenes getting past focus groups because they tow the line between sweet/creepy. It's def it's own thing, and I like that it didn't have some big I LEARNED MY LESSON scene instead it just went for it and I enjoyed how it didn't apologize for being weird or try to suddenly get more conventional in the third act.

Not as bad as it sounds but not the best. It does have everything you would expect for a futuristic romcom.

This movie is so disturbing. I can't imagine how anyone could watch this as entertainment or find it remotely funny.

The movie starts with a shot on a sleeping woman wearing full makeup including glossy lips. Then a man in his 40s or something is "trying' to make a pancake, he keeps burning one after another instead of reducing the gas flames. Then he brings one unburned pancake to woman sitting on a toilet. Then 2 women, again wearing bright makeup suitable for a cocktail party, blowing glass in front of a hot oven. Welcome to Hollywood! Next!
