This high-concept experiment only proves that a comedy actually can have too much Michael Keaton.

Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune Multiplicity is more concerned with its special effects of multiple characters than any satisfying conclusion to its provocative premise. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 23, 2017 Full Review Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: C+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Great premise, great work by Keaton, but the script lets them down. Rated: 3/5 Feb 23, 2003 Full Review Dan Buffa Ramble On With Buffa (Substack) There aren't many actors who can portray four personalities this well, and I can only wish comedies made me laugh today as much as this one did. Dec 29, 2024 Full Review Mal Vincent The Virginian-Pilot Well-acted and playfully superficial. Rated: 3/4 Mar 22, 2022 Full Review Common Sense Media Editors Common Sense Media Some sexy stuff in dated, but entertaining '80s comedy. Rated: 3/5 Mar 29, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Danny B Absolute diamond in the rough. My brother and I quote this movie all the time. Keatons best role in my opinion. He plays himself as well as 3 other very distinct characters that all have charm. -a no bullcrap guy -an OCD sensitive -a complete idiot The movie takes a bit to build up, but then really gets fun. I made my wife watch it and she now quotes it as well. If u liked Mr Mom, or Night shift, Kearon has just as many quotes and scenes from this one for sure. Still one of my all time favorite comedies Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review Daniel N Though technically very incorrect, this comedy manages to amuse and make you ponder about what you would do. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review Rob A An extremely overworked contractor (Micheal Keaton) discovers a way to clone himself so he can spend at least a little time at home with his beautiful but neglected wife (Andie MacDowell). The clone eventually wants a helper of his own and clones himself - a copy of a copy. The clones then begin to destroy Keaton's life and repeatedly hit on his wife. It's very funny! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/25 Full Review Michael G Amazing performance by Keaton. The visual effects are superb when they are all in the scene together. Classic film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Uynga U deffinetly recomend it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review Bahad j The idea behind this movie moved me a lot, but it was a movie with really satisfying expectations Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
