Movie Reviews of Multiplicity
Movie Review: Too Cute
Summary: 3 Stars
Michael Keaton is truly funny in this. He never has enough time, so he decides to clone himslef..The clone then clones itself...It gets funnier with each clone! hahah "Hey Steve..I like Pizza"Movie Review: Just pretty bad as a comedy goes?
Summary: 2 Stars
Strange low budget Sci Fi comedy that when it isn't predictable is somewhat boring. The cloning is a joke from a bad B movie.
In one of the starting scenes Keaton's make up is bad and he
kooks like he has a bad skin disease? Keaton's acting is good on the four distinct personalities, but the dialog doesn't make use of the comedy situations. MacDowell mainly does sexy and reads her lines.
These two deserve a better written comedy that has more believable action and dialog. My conclusion is that it was a production line movie with bad oversight and quality control: a Hollywood screw up.
Movie Review: MULTIPLICITY WAS MY IDEA, WHICH WAS STOLEN FROM ME BY GREENLIGHT PRODUCTIONS
Summary: 1 Stars
I SENT AN 8 PAGE OUTLINE ENTITLED, CLONED, IN 1993 TO GREENLIGHT PRODUCTIONS, A FILM DELVELOPMENT COMPANY WHICH WAS OWNED, IN PART, BY HAROLD RAMIS, IN LOS ANGELES. THEY SENT A REJECTION LETTER BACK TO ME, SAYING THEY WEREN'T INTERESTED IN MY IDEA. THEY SAID THEY DID NOT THINK IT WAS A COMMERCIAL IDEA FOR A FILM AND THAT I SHOULDN'T CONSIDER DEVELOPING IT ANY FURTHER.
SO I GAVE UP ON MYSELF AND MY IDEA FOR THIS COMEDY, WHICH WAS TO BE ABOUT A GUY WHO HAS HIMSELF CLONED TO HELP HIM MEET THE DEMANDS OF HIS PRESSURED-FILLED LIFE. AND OF THE FEW ACTORS I CONSIDERED AS THE LEAD, I DID SUGGEST MICHAEL KEATON AS THE STAR, TO GREENLIGHT PRODUCTIONS.
IN 1996, COLUMBIA-TRISTAR PICTURES RELEASED A HAROLD RAMIS DIRECTED COMEDY CALLED MULTIPLICITY, ABOUT A MAN WHO HAS HIMSELF CLONED TO HELP HIM MEET THE DEMANDS OF HIS PRESSURE-FILLED LIFE. WELL, WELL, WELL....IT SEEMED THAT HAROLD RAMIS LIKED MY IDEA AFTER ALL AND GAVE IT TO SOME WRITER BUDDIES OF HIS TO TURN INTO A SCRIPT. IT ALSO SEEMS THAT GREENLIGHT PRODUCTIONS HAD A MOVIE DEVELOPMENT DEAL WITH COLUMBIA-TRISTAR PICTURES BACK IN THE 1990'S, WHEN THEY MADE GROUND HOG DAY AND PRIOR TO THAT, GHOSTBUSTERS AND OTHER COMEDIES.
WHAT THIEVES THESE PEOLE ARE. AT A TIME WHEN I COULD HAVE CERTAINLY USED A FEW BREAKS AND SOME CASH IN MY LIFE, THESE RICH S.O.B.'S RIPPED ME OFF. KNOW WHAT? I'M GLAD THIS MOVIE SUCKED AND DID NO BUSINESS FOR THEM. THEY LOST ALOT OF MONEY ON IT. I STILL HAVE THE REJECTION LETTER GREENLIGHT PRODUCTIONS HAD SENT ME, ALONG WITH A COPY OF MY 8 PAGE TREATMENT, OR OUTLINE, FOR 'CLONED'.
HAD THEY LET ME WRITE THE SCREENPLAY OR AT LEAST LET ME HAVE A HAND IN THE WRITING OF IT, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH, MUCH FUNNIER. WARNING TO ASPIRING SCREENWRITERS: DO NOT SEND ANY SCRIPTS TO HAROLD RAMIS AND COMPANY, UNLESS YOU TOO WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF. THEY COULD HAVE THROWN ME A FEW GRAND AND CREDIT FOR THE STORY BUT THEY WERE TOO GREEDY.
GUESS WHAT, I HAD THE LAST LAUGH, THE MOVIE SUCKED BECAUSE THEY REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO WRITE FUNNY COMEDY. THEY THINK AUDIENCES ARE STUPID AND WILL BUY ANYTHING. THE MOVIE DIDN'T EVEN GROSS HALF OF IT'S 45 MILLION BUDGET BACK AT THE BOX OFFICE AND WAS PANNED BY FILM CRITICS.
NOW THAT'S FUNNY! LOSERS!
P.S. - I WANT TO GIVE ANOTHER HINT TO ASPIRING SCREENWRITERS WHO SEND A SCRIPT OR TREATMENT FOR A MOVIE TO A FILM DEVELOPMENT COMPANY OR MOVIE STUDIO. IF THEY SEND YOU BACK A REJECTION LETTER, SAYING THAT THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR IDEA BECAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY WORKING ON A SIMILAR IDEA FOR THE SAME TYPE OF FILM, GUESS WHAT? IT'LL PROBABLY BE YOUR IDEA THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON, ONLY THING IS, YOU WON'T SEE A DIME FROM THEM, NOR WILL THEY GIVE YOU CREDIT FOR THE CONCEPT, NOR WILL THEY ADMIT THEY ARE STEALING FROM YOU.
LAWSUITS AGAINST THESE LEECHES ARE HARDLY EVER SUCCESSFUL AND THEY KNOW THAT NO LAWYERS WILL TAKE ON A CASE ON COSIGNMENT TO SUE THESE PIRATES FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGMENT. AND THEY HAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AT THEIR DISPOSAL TO DEFEND THEMSELVES IN COURT, SO BE CAREFUL OUT THERE. DON'T BE LIKE ME AND HAVE YOUR IDEA STOLEN BY SCHMUCKS.
Movie Review: No delivery
Summary: 1 Stars
Purchased this item July 15,2006 and have not received it yet, have looked at where's my stuff and it shows it somewhere at a post office. Don't know why it would take over a month unless it was sent pony express, even then it would of been here by now. E-mailed Amazon and received no help. A terrible experience so far.
Movie Review: Stinker
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this movie was boring and when they do the 'clone of a clone' thing it was a cue for some jokes at the expense of the mentally impaired that really are in very, very poor taste.Aren't comedies supposed to be funny?
