Movie Reviews of Multiplicity
Movie Review: "Rule number 2: No more dougs. We're out of the doug-making buisness altogether."
Summary: 5 Stars
This buisness is just booming. Doug Kenny, a struggling contractor with a family, has his problems just like every other human being. Daily problems, little problems, big problems. It's just so hard to get set in life . . .until he meets with a geneticist after he publicly loses it.
Michael Keaton plays a perfect quadrouple role. First he clones one for his work becuase he has some serious catching up to do, then he makes a clone for home life, then the two clones make a clone from the second clone. Things couldn't be better.
The only problem is that "TWO" has turned into your stereotypical macho guy, "THREE" becomes the Martha Stewart side of doug, and the fourth clone is all screwed up, bouncing off the walls like he's a child.
The special effects here were really ahead of their time but being able to place one actor in a scene several times over is positively seamless.
It's the perfect comedy for anyone who ever wished that they could be everywhere at once.
Movie Review: HOLD ON TO YOUR HEAD
Summary: 5 Stars
HOLD ON TO YOUR HEAD, because if you don't it may fall off from laughing so hard. Keaton is a harried building contractor, with a hot wife (Andie MacDowell) and no time for her. He has a pal who is a scientist experimenting with cloning. So over time he clones Keaton's Character 3 times. One is his masculine side, the other his fem side and the last a retard-lunatic, and his wife doesn't know from day to day who she is shagging, and she thinks they are all moods of the same guy, but he is unaware of his clones bedtime dalliances with his wife know they are intimate with her. Now he is in four places at once with good and bad results, all of which are hilarious.Movie Review: Laughed till milk came out of my nose -- and I wasn't drinking milk
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a screamingly funny movie. It's not on the Olympian level of Groundhog Day, but still, another win for Harold Ramis. I pity the people who found it trite and unfunny; a person is rich in proportion to the number of things he can enjoy. Some of the clone jokes may be a trifle obvious, but Michael Keaton makes them work in his usual inimitable fashion. Andie Macdowell is perfect as the wife; who wouldn't have trouble obeying Rule Number One with her around?
The big disappointment is, it's not available in wide-screen format. No matter how hard you pan-and-scan, you just can't fit four Michael Keatons side by side into 1.33:1.
Movie Review: KEATON'S BEST ROLE (X FOUR)!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a frequently funny movie with some improbable situations thrown around the central fact that Keaton is cloned repeatedly in an effort to do his job, help out with the housework and maybe, just maybe, get to drive a golf ball once in awhile. Andie MacDowell is simply beautiful and beautifully perplexed as his wife who, in one crazy night, gets ravished by all the clones breaking "rule #1", just one of many hilarious set pieces. Keaton is all over the place and, considering the premise, he does well here (his double-takes are classic) so the only question is, "Whatever happened to...Michael Keaton?" Our family's favorite!Movie Review: Funniest Michael Keaton Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the funniest Michael Keaton movie I have ever seen. It's a very clever, entertaining comedy. My teen age grandson laughed until tears came to his eyes. He said, "I've never heard of this movie." I found that many people haven't. I don't know why it wasn't promoted more. It involves cloning - big time. Each clone is a personality split from the original plus a copy of a copy doesn't turn out too well. Michael Keaton plays all the parts, (mostly anyway). The whole family can watch this one although little ones probably won't understand it too much. I'd recommend it for age 12 and over.
