Tropes for the film:

  • Blank Slate: The plot revolves around this trope; Max is in love with the beautiful Kate but far too nervous to talk to her. When she is accidentally cloned, Max and his roommate, Henry, educate the Blank Slate clone with stereotypical guy traits like love of sports and casual sex.
  • Born as an Adult: Max unintentionally creates a clone of Kate, a reporter who was doing a story on his research, is physically an adult but doesn't know anything, Max and Henry educate her, and thanks to her fully developed brain, they manage to teach her language and how to behave like an adult inside of a few days.
  • The Lad-ette: The titular character is a clone who has been educated by guys into being pretty much the ultimate Ladette.
  • Men Are Uncultured: Kate comes to interview Max and Prof. Jonas Fromer, is accidentally cloned. The clone is a blank slate, and Henry decides to educate her to prefer football and beer and other blokey things. He ends up as the henpecked boyfriend to a boorish Ladette who doesn't care about his feelings. (Max and the real Kate are much happier together).
  • Mirror Routine: Kate and her clone both mistake each other for a reflection, unintentionally mirror each other's movements, and walk away without a clue what just happened.
  • Tagline: "Every guy on campus wants a copy of Kate".
