Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review An inevitable idea: a working man (Michael Keaton) who can't meet all his professional and family responsibilities has himself cloned. It works so well having one copy of himself to take charge of matters at the office that he makes another copy who takes care of the home front. Pretty soon, different aspects of Keaton's personality are emphasised in the different clones: the labourer becomes a macho creep and the domestic god becomes rather feminine. A third clone, struck from the duplicates instead of the original, becomes like a photocopy of a photocopy: inferior. IMultiplicity/i is a timely comedy should be better than it is, but special-effects requirements are so labour-intensive that most scenes feel stiff and leaden. Keaton is good in all four parts, and in certain gee-whiz effects scenes, where he even high-fives himself, he pulls off a minor miracle or two. (Of course, a kid did the same thing in Disney's 1998 remake of IThe Parent Trap/I.) I--Tom Keogh/I

Barber (swansea, uk) Michael Keaton is simply amazing in this film, by far one of the most funniest films i have seen. Brilliant script too! br / br /"I got a wallet sthteve" A mulitple of simplicity December 23, 2004 N. Moore 3 out of 3 found this review helpful This film takes an interesting turn. Life is busy and time is precious, but what would you do if you could create a copy of yourself to help out. It's amusing to see how boundaries are pushed and even with the best intentions a situation can get out of control. This film has some very amusing moments and is definitely worth watching. Worth Watching December 4, 2000 1 out of 2 found this review helpful Doug Kinney (Michael Keaton) is a devoted husband, father and businessman, Doug is manied to an adoring wife (Andie MacDowell), and a demanding job, both of which leave him little time to enjoy either. pDoug is very destressed as too much to do and not nearly enough time to do it in, pDoug is ready to snap that is until he meets Dr. Owen Leeds (Harris Yulin) who offers him the chance to get control of his life by becoming the ultimate split personality and having himself cloned. pDoug goes ahead with getting himself coloned and becomes the ultimate split personality, and that is when the real trouble begins.pHis lovable wife, must juggle more husband that she knows what to do with.!!!! The parts job August 17, 2001 1 out of 3 found this review helpful Anybody could identify with that dilemma : poursuying a job or carrier and take care of the family and ones real interest in life...There are only that many hours in a day... This never stops for most of us... exept for Doug who found out how to clone himself and send all his self parts to take care of his wife...job and others. vey hilarious, even more when he discovers about the major draws back of his absence from hinself. While Andy Macdowell, his wife, remains an example of wholeness. Not to miss, contains some hints to the possible answer... Underrated March 7, 2009 R. Chambers (London, UK) Multiplicity gets only 5.7 on IMDb, but it deserves a much higher rating. One of those movies that gets better with repeated viewing. Showing reviews 1-5 of 7 1 2 Next »
