Rating: 1.0
Good to watch at 3 in the morning if you're an insomniac
Watching t.v. late at night (or too early in the morning)? "Doppelganger" might be just the right b-movie to keep you occupied. It's interesting enough to make you wonder what exactly is going on, but cheesey enough towards the end to make you understand exactly why it's played at 3 in the morning. George Newbern is the best feature of the movie, fine acting and seems to be too good for the movie itself. Drew Barrymore,(we all know how much she has improved since "Doppelganger",and I personally think she is a great actress. That having been said-)leaves so very much to be desired. She has an awkward deliverence of her lines, but most of the fault I suspect lies in the story itself. The movie appears to be getting good by the middle by falls short at the end. Almost as if it was given to two different writers to finish and neither ending was cut. Overall worth watching for a thrill, a laugh, or Newbern's acting.
