Reviews

While 'Carbon Copy' has its moments of humor and charm, the film falls short in fully developing its potentially rich premise. The chemistry between Denzel Washington and George Segal adds depth to the narrative, but some critics feel that the plot lacks cohesiveness. Despite Washington's charismatic performance, the film struggles to find a balance between comedy and drama, resulting in a somewhat disjointed viewing experience. Reviews mention that the movie has its share of witty dialogue and light-hearted moments, but overall fails to leave a lasting impact. With a rating of 5.6/10 on IMDb, 'Carbon Copy' receives mixed reviews from critics, with some appreciating the lead performances while others criticize its uneven execution.
