Watch Multiplicity For Free

I love this movie so much

Good movie but grossly overrated

Absolutely the worst movie.

Absolutely Fantastic

Multiplicity is a mediocre movie with a reasonably well written storyline and a great comedic cast. It has its moments, I certainly enjoyed seeing Michael Keaton struggle to manage a life with clones, seeing him communicate with himself was very funny and there are many parts that I found baffling to imagine how it was made. As a comedy, it has funny parts but not enough, it never really takes full advantage of it's fun and unique story, it could have used Doug's struggles with work and family to a larger comedic affect, there also could have been more clones, he only has three, despite the poster suggesting that the plot goes way out of hand, and that's the biggest problem, it never does. The film is far too predictable, once the clones arrive you can predict all the problems that await Doug from a mile away, there's is never any real sort of twist or unexpected moment that turns the entire plot on its head, it's simply too safe, and because of that we are left with a Michael Keaton starring, Harold Ramis directed, movie that lets you down. Though it has some funny moments, Multiplicity simply isn't good enough to recommend. With him being under stress at both work and home, a man decides to clone himself without telling his wife. Best Performance: Michael Keaton

O.K. It's not Keaton's best, but it's by Harold Ramis and his films are always fun and unique. A man has himself cloned to simplify his life and, of course, it becomes quite a mess. It sort of plays like a sequel to "Mr. Mom", as Michael (or his clone) eventually ends up playing a "Mr. Mom" so his wife can return to work, this time, as a "Realtor". Michael does a great job portraying 4 different personalities, including a macho-man, a metro-sexual, a "goofy" copy, and himself, Doug One. The funniest scene in the movie involves Laura's rampant sexuality, right after Doug warns all the clones "not to sleep with my wife". Andie Mcdowell, as Laura, is quite good as his long-suffering wife, but she isn't Terri Garr, so she pretty much plays the "straight-man" to Doug and 3 clones. Many plot-holes, as it is quite unbelievable that absolutely no one would notice "triplets" living in the guest room over the garage. Great special effects. It looks real, not matted in. Like Mr. Mom, the film starts to lose its luster and drags towards the end, but wraps up smartly with Laura looking out the car window and, not believing her eyes, sees all 3 clones drive by on their "road trip" South. The cloning process looks about as real as any sci-fi "techno-babel" ever seen on "Star Trek". I just saw this on "This TV" and have yet to see it uncut. It's a 117 minute film and they ran it in 120 minutes with many commercials. Besides speeding up the film, what did they cut out to fit the time slot? Lots of fun, and it's worth at least one viewing. More if you like Michael Keaton at his funniest. And always remember this: "When you make a copy of a copy it's never as sharp as the original!"

This is not the best comedy ever made, but in all fairness I have to say that I've sat through more than a few comedies and never even cracked a smile. This one on a handful of occasions actually had me laughing out loud, so for that reason alone I have to say it's pretty solid. Michael Keaton is what makes this work so well. It's not just because he's the star - it's that he stars in four roles. It's not a costume comedy, though, which makes his performance all the better. He essentially plays the same character with tweaks and variations to differentiate between them, and he pulls it off brilliantly. Each character is a character of his own, and even the interactions between the characters he plays are pulled off flawlessly so that everything is very natural.The story is tailor made for a comedy revolving around mistaken identity. Keaton's basic character is Doug Kinney, an overworked contractor who's finding that he doesn't have time to keep everything in his life in balance. Hoping for a miracle to help keep his life together he finds himself doing some work for a geneticist who's discovered the secret of "cloning" humans. It's not scientific - the "clones" come out as exact physical replicas rather than as newborn babies with identical genetic material to the original - but this is a comedy, so who cares! It works! Starting with one clone (named, simply, "2") Doug finds that even one copy isn't enough, so he makes another (named, appropriately, "3.") 2 and 3 are completely different from Doug and polar opposites from each other. 2 is a macho, take charge type who happily takes over the contracting business but chafes about having to stay out of sight when he'd much rather be picking up women, while 3 is an effeminate, stay at home type who loves cooking and cleaning. Eventually, 2 and 3 find themselves over-burdened, and they create another clone (named - guess what - "4.") except that 4 is a copy of copy and so, therefore, imperfect, for lack of a better way to put it. Intended to make Doug's life easier, all these 3 clones do is introduce increasing chaos, and at times it is hilarious.Really the only other cast member of note is Andie MacDowell (who teams again with director Harold Ramis as she did in "Groundhog Day") as Doug's increasingly confused wife Laura. Unfortunately, the movie revolves so completely around Doug and the clones that MacDowell, while she was good enough and as always quite lovely, seemed to fade into the background more often than not, so that her talents were generally underused. She's more impressive opposite Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day" than she is here, but that's more a result of the type of movie and the role that it asked of her rather than any deficiency in her performance.This is almost two hours long - which might be a little bit too much for this type of silly comedy. It gets to that length perhaps by trying to introduce too much "drama" (if you will) in the last while about Doug and Laura's faltering marriage. Still, it's a funny movie, and Keaton's performance is worth watching. (7/10)

A very funny movie. The parts Keaton plays are all different from each other and the movie gets funnier as it goes along unlike other comedies that are played out towards the end. The final clone is a work of art, and how the other "characters" react to it is also hilarious. I watch this movie any time it is on television. There isn't really another movie like it and Keaton's deviation away form harder movies like Pacific Heights shows he's a good actor. There has been a lot of negative reviews here for the film but I can't personally see the problem that a lot of people have with it, it's not meant to be serious and provides great entertainment. Worth a watch.
