Summary: 5 Stars
Great old movie with Michael Keaton. One that can be watched over again that's for sure.Movie Review: "Multiple" late success for director Ramis
Summary: 4 Stars
"Multiplicity" director, Harold Ramis, has been on a roll since "Groundhog Day" and validated his directing/writing maturity with "Analyze This". However, in his earlier films I always felt he was mediocre, at best, as an actor. As a director and writer he pandered to the masses with slap-stick, debase humor and trite "Hollywood" creativity. "Caddyshack" was easily his best early work, and I believe it has been mostly over-rated by generational bias.Inbetween Ramis' successes with "Groundhog Day" and "Analyze This" is this very funny film about an over-worked, under-appreciated family man, Doug (Micheal Keaton), who is at his wits end for a solution to his troubles. Per chance, his frustration climaxes and is witnessed while supervising a job at the facility where cloning attempts have succeeded. The doctor believes Doug is the perfect client for a human test. As the first successful clone doesn't solve all his problems, Doug makes another. The two clones feel the need to have their own "solution" and make a copy of a copy,... which, of course, is not as good as the original. No problems are really solved and now Doug has a bigger mess on his hand than he realizes. The way he cleans it up results in the more hilarious scenes, as well as a very human quality that most comedies never involve. The way each clone gravitates to one of Doug's basic personalities and proceed to interact said a lot to me about how each of us can deal with our own under-appreciated, time-deprivated lives.
Some reviews suggest this movie is not all it could have been. I can't imagine how it could be diferent. This is a comedy and it will succeed at making you laugh. The story and content is a bit deeper than the average comedy so it has dramatic tones here and there, but never without Keaton's trademark goofiness. To me, that is a credit to the prgress Ramis has made in directing and writing comdies. He no longer needs fraternity losers screwing, drinking and puking in order to make a funny film. With minimal guidance on a couple situational scenes, your kids can watch this free of poor language and nudity. To change anything in this movie would leave it less funny, too dramatic, or both. It is perfect the way it is - clean, simple, funny and endearing.
