SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Prismark10 Michael Keaton returns to the light comedy genre he was known for back in the 1980s before he went all dark knight on us.Doug Kinney (Michael Keaton) is an overworked construction supervisor for a company that takes him granted and only cares for the bottom line. The people who work under him constantly mess up or turn up late. He is being pressured to work at the weekends, as his boss tells him. We have a saying if you do not show up to work on Saturday do not bother to turn up on Sunday.This leaves him with little time with his wife Laura (Andie MacDowell) and the kids and his wants to go back to work as the kids are now old enough.Doug encounters a scientist, Dr Leeds on his latest job at the Gemini Institute which is involved in cloning. Doug ends up with three versions of himself but they are not all like him in intellect or personality. The clones are supposed to make life easier for Doug who thought he could spend time relaxing but in fact complicates it.Keaton does well interacting with the various versions of himself but the comedy is strained and not particularly funny.

SnoopyStyle Doug Kinney (Michael Keaton) is a construction supervisor. His underling Vic (Eugene Levy) screws up again leaving him with more work. He's getting pushed to work his days off. His wife Laura (Andie MacDowell) would like to go back to work but there isn't enough time for the kids already. The latest job is at the Gemini Institute which does cloning. Dr. Leeds (Harris Yulin) may have just the solution.Keaton really puts me off his character when he gets angry at his wife early in the movie. It is quite jarring. It's more than simply not liking the character. It's also not funny. Maybe Harold Ramis figured that one Keaton is funny and two is twice as funny. Therefore it's more the merrier. It's not.

david-sarkies A building contractor is having problems at work, at home, and with his wife because he has found that his time is constantly being eaten up. So when a scientist at a genetic engineering lab tells him about the cloning technology, he decides to snap it up. Soon he has a clone to do his job and the housework while he can go out and enjoy himself. Things are not that easy though because he is trying to keep his clones a secret and they simply want to live a normal life.I guess there are two ideas in this movie: this first is responsibility and the second is the nature of the clone. In this movie we see the hero trying to escape his responsibilities by placing the burdens upon other people. We see the frustrations he has with other people at the beginning of the movie where he feels that he cannot assign tasks to anybody. He is constantly pushing them out of the way so that he may do the job himself. It doesn't help his problems at all though. When he has a clone doing his job, he finds that housekeeping takes over all of his free time, so he gets one to do his jobs there.The clones, interestingly enough, begin to develop their own personalities (which shows us Michael Keaton's acting ability), but the original is not interested in them leading their own lives. He created them for a specific job and that is the job that they must do. This raises the idea as to whether these clones are real people or property. The original treats them as property, but we notice that they want their own lives and want to do their own thing. They even clone themselves, which creates a less efficient one. Through all of this, the original is trying to hide them and stop them from enjoying themselves.When one thinks about them, it is not really possible to create clones to do one's work, as when the clone is created, it becomes a separate person and as such has its own memories, which it does not share with the original. Not only that, they are real people with real desires, and to prevent them from enjoying themselves is like preventing a real person from enjoying themselves, but then they are real people.In conclusion, this is an okay movie, which is slightly twisted, but generally dull. Not something I am going to rave about or even suggest watching more than once.

Eavan Masters Okay, so the premise is obviously before it's time, and there isn't too much to the plot. A guy clones himself a few times and problems/hilarity ensues. This movie could've easily gone to the b-movie shelf if not for Michael Keatons above average acting. Of course Andie MacDowell was good as his wife, but Michael Keaton steals the show. It's hard to get bored over the course of the movie because you keep wanting to see what Michael Keatons various personalities are going to do next. The effeminate Doug alone makes the movie worth a watch. My main issue is probably with the editing. I'm sure it's hard to edit one guy being multiple guys (especially in 1996) but a few of the panning shots were kinda choppy. Not a huge deal, but it does take you out of the moment for a second. This movie is probably a 7 out of 10, but giving it an 8 to make up for the undeserved 5.7. I'm pretty picky about my comedies, but this one raised itself above the pack. Consider other comedies from the same year: "Bio-Dome," "House Arrest," "Black Sheep, "Jingle All the Way," "Down Periscope." Out of all of them "Multiplicity" is the only one that I can recommend. If you like Michael Keaton, you can't miss this one. And if for some reason you don't, this movie might change your mind.
