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. Multiplicity 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 The Parent Trap.) --Tom Keogh

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.

Keaton at his best. Handles multiple parts hilariously and skillfully. Love Rule Number 1 gag. Can watch over and over.

Hi Steve! I've got pizza in my wallet.
Good old school comedy. Keaton is really funny, or should I say: Keatons are really funny... My favorite by far is Number Four with his love to pizza. Read more

Amazing
This ranks as one of my top 5 comedies. Michael Keaton's performance was a joy to behold.
One of the few films where I start aching because I laughed so much.

Underrated
Multiplicity gets only 5.7 on IMDb, but it deserves a much higher rating. One of those movies that gets better with repeated viewing.
