Multiplicity Reviews
Multiplicity is more concerned with its special effects of multiple characters than any satisfying conclusion to its provocative premise.

Great premise, great work by Keaton, but the script lets them down.

More Kafkaesque than comedic, more fascinating to watch than out-and-out funny.

Multiplicity cheats itself by not letting its imagination run as wild as its star.

Multiplicity exists because it's now possible for an actor to appear on screen with himself and not by means of anything so quaint as double exposure.

Both assuredly funny without being forced, and smart without being smug, this is one comedy that deserves to go forth and, indeed, multiply.

A buoyant domestic farce.

Keaton does a dandy job by his four Dougs, but the problem is a script that assumes a physical comedian can do it all, including twisting characters to make them fit the plot line. It doesn't work.

Groundhog Day had a certain sweetness and even a sly philosophical depth, but Multiplicity is more of a ground-level comedy, in which we can usually anticipate the problems for Doug and his clones.

Ramis and his quartet of writers, including City Slickers shtick factories of Lowell Ganz & Babaloo Mandel, can't find much to do with their simple premise.

I recommend this to anyone who wants to see a solipsistic comedy about the darker side of marriage.

The comedy itself, however, is uneven and, more often than not, obvious.

Director Harold Ramis had more serious ambitions. Multiplicity should have been another Groundhog Day, which Ramis also directed, but he comes up short.
