July 8, 2011A goofy comedy, and it does go off the old saying 'if only there were more of me'. The story is predictable, especially the ending. Overall it has some humor, but overall it's just okay.

March 20, 2007Inept comedy with a hopelessly gimmicky premise; one Michael Keaton is mildly irritating. Four of him is a whole new ballgame. AND Andie MacDowell. I say no, no no...

June 8, 2006I'll be honest; Michael Keaton isn't my favorite actor to begin with. So what could make this movie even better? I know! FOUR Michael Keatons!! If you love Michael Keaton and subpar comedy, this is for you.

October 11, 2009An overworked constructor (Michael Keaton) makes a few clones of himself so he has more time to spend with his wife and children. The under-rated Michael Keaton was pretty funny, especially as the slow clone. The movie isn't as clever as Harold Ramis' Groundhog Day but it's at le... read more

July 7, 2009This is a pretty bad film, becuase it's not as funny as it should be and I think one Michael Keaton is enough.

Susan Stark, Detroit News
The comedy itself, however, is uneven and, more often than not, obvious. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Although Multiplicity is funny, it's not as heartwarming or inventive as Groundhog Day. Full Review

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.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Director Harold Ramis had more serious ambitions. Multiplicity should have been another Groundhog Day, which Ramis also directed, but he comes up short. Full Review

Sean Means, Film.com
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.

Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
An effects-based comedy whose seamlessness is a sign that this newfangled comedic genre has gone beyond the adolescence stage and taken on a new maturity. Full Review

Multiplicity cheats itself by not letting its imagination run as wild as its star.
January 1, 2000
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
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. Full Review
