Critics Consensus

This high-concept experiment only proves that a comedy actually can have too much Michael Keaton.

2.5/4

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.

A comedy that expertly wrings special effects for all they're worth.

There aren't many actors who can portray four personalities this well, and I can only wish comedies made me laugh today as much as this one did.

This silly movie was entertaining & had some very funny moments. If you get a kick out of Michael Keaton you'll love this, since he plays 4 roles.

Absolute diamond in the rough. My brother and I quote this movie all the time. Keatons best role in my opinion. He plays himself as well as 3 other very distinct characters that all have charm. -a no bullcrap guy -an OCD sensitive -a complete idiot The movie takes a bit to build up, but then really gets fun. I made my wife watch it and she now quotes it as well. If u liked Mr Mom, or Night shift, Kearon has just as many quotes and scenes from this one for sure. Still one of my all time favorite comedies

Though technically very incorrect, this comedy manages to amuse and make you ponder about what you would do.

An extremely overworked contractor (Micheal Keaton) discovers a way to clone himself so he can spend at least a little time at home with his beautiful but neglected wife (Andie MacDowell). The clone eventually wants a helper of his own and clones himself - a copy of a copy. The clones then begin to destroy Keaton's life and repeatedly hit on his wife. It's very funny!
