the replacement

Dawson Gage (Jake Allyn) and his best friend London Quinn (Sarah Fisher) have a very close relationship. Then she gets hit by a truck and dies. Her parents (Lynn Collins, Scott Reeves) reveals that London was an IVF baby and there is a twin. She tracks down Andi Allen (Sarah Fisher), but her parents (Robyn Lively, Bart Johnson) have kept her origins a secret.The premise has a creepy factor. Dawson is essentially replacing his unresolved feelings for London with her twin. It's a weird idea, but it could still work. He could encounter the twin by chance and have it a matter of the stars. Make it magical. Instead, he is tracking her down like a creepy stalker. There is a medical reason for the search, but the movie is more interested in the romancing. The issue there is that the transplant would still work after London gets killed unless her organs got squashed. Apparently, this is a Christian movie. I couldn't really tell other than some praying. There are other issues. I think a dog can tell the difference between twins. This is mostly non-sense with a dash of blah and a creepy sensibility. Otherwise, it's fine.

Overall okay but the plot had some unneccesary twists.

The movie had an interesting premise in that a young woman, Andi, finds out that she was an in vitro fertilised egg that was a spare for her biological parents and hence she was implanted in and carried to term by a woman who wasn't her biological mother. So technically she was adopted.She only finds this out when her biological sister, London, who was carried to term by her biological mother dies.London's best friend only learns of Andi's existence after London dies and tries to find her. As other reviewers have pointed out he would not have been able to find her due to confidentiality around the adoption. That is one place with the plot falls down.The main unnecessary plot twist is where Andi and London's mother needs a kidney transplant and both girls are donor matches. It was London's intention to donate a kidney to her mother but she was killed in an accident before she could do this. In real life as Andi died in hospital they could have harvested both her kidneys and transplanted them to her mother. Why didn't they?London's friend Dawson tells Andi that her mother needs a kidney transplant. Any normal person would be suspicious about this and wonder if he had only contacted her because they wanted her to donate a kidney. Somehow this never occurs to Andi. This whole plot device was unnecessary and could have been left out without affecting the story at all. It might have shaved 10 to 15 minutes of the movie which was unnecessarily long at two hours and six minutes overall.When she finds out about the circumstances of her birth, Andi gets really mad at the parents who raised her and refuses to talk to them for a long time, instead going and living with her biological parents. This is something that I have never understood in people who have discovered they are adopted. If I discovered that I was adopted rather than being mad at the parents who adopted me I would love them even more realising that they really wanted me and chose to raise me rather than me just being the result of a night of random lovemaking. I would actually think twice about meeting my biological parents as they were the ones who chose to discard or give me away. To be honest I probably would have no interest in meeting them although if I was an only child I would be interested in meeting my siblings.Anyway, overall this movie isn't bad and all the actors do a pretty reasonable job but there is nothing really memorable in the way the plot plays out or the dialogue which would cause me to watch it twice or recommend it to anybody I know. That's why I gave it a solid middle-of-the-road 5, plus an extra staff for the "finding the sister I never knew she had" part of the plot.
