This is a hysterical movie. Tons of laughter and a funny storyline. I use several quotes from the movie and most people will be able to name this movie. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who needs a good laugh.

4.0 out of 5 stars "One Can Be the Loneliest Number", April 14, 2005

This review is from: Multiplicity (DVD)

Michael Keaton's performance in the hilarious film "Multiplicity" is outstanding. Keaton is a "too busy to do anything else but work" contractor who becomes a test subject for a scientist's human cloning project. The clones turn out to be a big help and a big headache. The clones emphasize different parts of Keaton's psyche and the resulting interplay of their/his personalities makes this film enjoyable and funny. Keaton is able to play four different roles in the same film with ease.

Guaranteed to be a good laugh and sure to be a classic.

This review is from: Multiplicity (DVD)

This is a laugh out loud comedy even if a few elements are in questionable taste. Michael Keaton is hilarious playing an overworked suburban LA man and his three clones. The first clone (Doug 2) created so the Keaton character (Doug) can have more time at home with his wife and kids is a rugged workaholic. Clone #3 is made to be a more sensitive house husband type of guy when the original Doug becomes overwhelmed with all the home time and decides what he really needs is more leisure time for himself. And the fourth clone, well, he's made from Doug 2 and as my review title quotes the film "a copy made from a copy is never quite as sharp". Obviously complications arise many having to do with Laura, Doug's lovely wife, played by Andie MacDowell, who remains oblivious to the fact that she actually has four husbands for awhile. Keaton is remarkable in giving all four of the Dougs distinct personalities and seems to be even able to change his physical characteristics as he plays the different roles. The movie ends rather implausibly but of course it is all just for fun nonsense anyway. One more thing - er I don't think the "science" behind the cloning is real well researched so don't watch this hoping to get a better grade on your genetics test!
