Ermus (Jeff Sinasac) is a computer genius of the nerdy kind who has been in love with pretty Candy (Sarah Silverthorne) for almost all his life. Hpwever, years back she has decided to choose meat-headeed Mayter (Adam Buller) over him which Ermus just refused to understand. Now Mayter has since died in a car crash though, so Ermus, who has spent most of his adult life creating androids and has free access to an otherwise abandoned lab to that end, has decided to build android counterparts of Mayter, Candy and both her parents (Melissa Cline, William Poulin) to re-enact the family dinner where Candy fell for Mayter and see what he should have done differently. But no matter what he does at that dinner, he always loses her to Mayter - so much so that he starts cheating, has at one occasion Mayter killed by Candy's father, at another tries to erase all memories of Mayter from Candy's mind and make her a nymphomaniac - but all to no avail. There's another problem though, thanks to all of Ermus' experimenting, Mayter develops a mind of his own, starts messing with Ermus' program and ultimately escapes into the real world to find the real Candy - something that's doomed to spell disaster ...

Sure, this film demands a certain suspension of disbelief, but at the same time the filmmakers were obviously quite aware of this and are milking the premise for what it's worth, and at times hilariously so - which is not To say this is an all-out giggle-fest as beneath all the comedy the film has a heart - even if its a bit twisted - and even gets philosophical at times without ever dropping the ball. On top of that, the film's low budget look go great with its main character's disturbed and morally corrupt mind. And a competent cast and a dynamic directorial effort that doesn't shy away from things getting ugly of course help making this really fun and highly original genre fare.
