Summary: Great premise. Keaton looks like he really had fun.
Review: This is a very funny movie, and I liked it a lot more than most of the reviews about it did. I liked how the clones were different parts of his personality, as one is a burping, smoking, slob, but a workaholic, and the other is his almost feminine side. He seemed to really have a blast as #4 (a clone of a clone), which is a role that Jim Carrey would probably have been too embaressed to play. The only real down is it's length. Two hours for such a simple plot. I really enjoyed Groundhog Day (a movie not to different to this) and I found that to be a bit too long, and that was twenty minutes shorter. Otherwise, thoroughly entertaining.

Summary: Poses an interesting scenario
Review: This is definitely an original premise for a film, and the casting was dead on in selecting Michael Keaton, as he puts his comedic talent to excellent use in Multiplicity. The movie presents an interesting perspective of cloning and what may occur in its aftermath. Utter hilarity ensues as each clone displays unique personality traits - one is a tough armchair-quarterback type, another a male Martha Stewart, and the fourth - a copy of a copy - needs to be seen to be believed. The film was co-written and directed by Harold Ramis, and as far as comedy is concerned you can't go wrong with most of his work. The script holds together pretty well considering that it was a four person collaboration. My favorite scene was probably the one where Andie MacDowell is in the mood and encounters each of the clones - that scene is worth the price of admission. This movie deserved more of a push than it received - it's worth checking out if you are a fan of any of the participants.

Review: This was a great movie. I've probably seen it at least 5 times! I'm looking to buy it and have not found it in any stores so am planning to buy it from Amazon. Our family still says "I want pithza, Steve" all the time!To the person who said it was immature humor - I can't imagine - you need to lighten up and have fun!

Summary: You'll love it, or hate it.
Review: Well, the first time I saw this movie was last year in 8th grade Science Class. I thought "Great, something in school, it's gonna suck", well, I was wrong. The story is mainly about a man who works way too much, and he wants some free time, so he can have some time to himself and his family. His work is effected, and his over all attitude. Until, one day he's working on a job site when Keaton comes across a scientist. This scientist tells him about cloning, and all the glory. Then Keaton starts to believe it is a bunch of BS, when the real scientist comes back from a game of golf. In a few short minutes #2 is born, except his genes are spliced so he becomes a workaholic. Now that Keaton has extra time on his hands, he decides to help out at home, when he creates #3, which is spliced with a habit of house cleaning (lots of laughs). Eventually, the two clones move into the garage, where trouble starts because Keaton's wife is actually talking, dating, and sleeping with the clones. At a time, Keaton walks in to shut the clones up because they are having a party, when he meets #4, the mental case. He is a clone of a clone, so he isn't, well, as intulectual as the others. Along the road, a small love story unfolds, as well as a commedy. During this movie, the viewer (you) would have many aspects, and most would find it extremely funny. This is far more hillarious than most commedies out today, if you want a good laugh, Multiplicity is the movie for you. I rate it a 5 star movie!

Summary: A must-have comedy!
Review: What a hilarious movie! I've loved this movie ever since the first time I saw it, and it still hasn't gotten old. I find myself laughing more with every viewing! It's funny, clever, and has more substance than most comedies. Michael Keaton does an amazing job in this movie, and plays all four Dougs so well that you always know which Doug it is, without causing any confusion at all. Doug #2 is probably my favorite of them all. I watched this movie recently on TV and had to order this DVD off amazon! I highly recommend all of you comedy lovers out there do the same!

Summary: Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest -- This "Comedy" Stinks!
Review: What a waste of two terrific actors! Michael Keaton and Andie McDowell are lost in ridiculous plot and lame script. Keaton, unable to keep his wife (McDowell) "satisfied", clones himself to have "twice the time & energy" to keep up with his hectic life. Well, that's not all; now the clone gets ideas and wants a "double". This is pure moronic mish-mash. The dialog sounds like witers were still at it during filming. Save your money, nobody needs a forced laugh that bad! If YOU found this brainless gobledigook funny, please clue me in, because I think this is a real stinker!

Summary: Keaton and His Clones Deliver
Review: What to do when you have too much work and only so many hours in a day? How can you be in two places at once, and where do you get that extra pair of hands you need so desperately to stay afloat? One man finds the answers in "Multiplicity," a comedy from director Harold Ramis. Doug Kinney (Michael Keaton) owns a construction company, but finds the demands of the job as well as the needs of his family (a wife and two kids) are just stretching him too thin. On a job doing some additions to a laboratory one day, Doug begins to lose it; his temper flares and he's at his wit's end, all of which is noticed by a certain Dr. Leeds (Harris Yulin), a scientist, who offers him a solution to his problems. It involves a project with which the lab has already had some success: cloning. And once Doug is convinced it can be done safely, he goes for it, and to his astonishment, it works. He ends up with a duplicate of himself; finally he will be able to get some time off. Or so he thinks. His clone quickly finds himself swamped with work, even with Doug's help (they manage to keep the identity of the clone a secret, of course), and decides that he, too, needs a clone. But it doesn't stop there. Before it's over, Doug finds himself with three clones; physically identical, but each with a distinctly individual personality. The first is rugged, the Doug ready for any job, any time. The second is more in touch with his feminine side; he is quite accomplished and likes to cook. The third, however, turns out a bit "watered-down," having lost some resolution, as it were, in the process. He's a bit slow and just slightly off-center. He loves pizza, for instance, and keeps a piece in his wallet "for later." Pretty soon Doug's wife, Laura (Andie MacDowell) begins to notice some changes in her husband's behavior. Of course, she doesn't realize that she's dealing with one man and three clones. All of which leads to trouble in paradise, and some quite humorous situations along the way. Cleverly handled by Ramis, this is a funny movie and a veritable showcase for the talented Keaton, who manages to create a unique personality for each of his characters. The scenes in which the four of them are together, and Doug has to deal with "himselves," are hilarious. MacDowell does a good job with Laura, giving her enough vulnerability to enable the audience to empathize with her frustration at suddenly having to cope with a seemingly schizophrenic husband. When she tries to have a serious conversation with the worst of the clones and asks him, "What do you want?" while attempting to sort out their recent differences, and the reply is "Pizza!" it makes you want to cringe, except that you're laughing too hard. And there are a lot of laughs here. The supporting cast includes Eugene Levy, who adds some droll humor as Vic, a more than inadequate subcontractor who works for Doug; Richard Masur (Del), Ann Cusack (Noreen), John de Lancie (Ted), Judith Kahan (Franny) and Brian Doyle-Murray (Walt). "Multiplicity" is a highly imaginative comedy that works, and is well presented. One Michael Keaton in a movie like this is a treat; and here you get four for the price of one. And that, my friends, no matter how you clone it, can't be a bad thing.
