Leave your thoughts about Multiplicity.
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesLargely due to Keaton, the movie is consistently funny. |
| New York Daily NewsDave KehrDirector Harold Ramis, who managed to stop time in the sunny comic masterpiece "Groundhog Day," tries a different tack in this lesser though nonetheless hilarious caper. |
| VarietyLeonard KladyThe picture provides hilarious complications to the arithmetic mayhem and will be one of the strongest performers in the second half of the summer, its inventive edge standing up to the barrage of flashier effects pics. |
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyA desperately unfunny comedy lethargically directed by Harold Ramis, and boringly acted by Michael Keaton. |
| EmpireCaroline WestbrookBoth assuredly funny without being forced, and smart without being smug, this is one comedy that deserves to go forth and, indeed, multiply. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranWatching the film, I enjoyed a lot of it, especially Keaton's permutations on the theme of himself. But I wondered why the possibilities weren't taken to greater comic extremes. |
| Detroit NewsSusan StarkThe comedy itself, however, is uneven and, more often than not, obvious. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesMultiplicity, while far from a great comedy, did provide this critic with a lot of laughs and made for a thoroughly enjoyable time at the movies. |
| The New RepublicStanley KauffmannMultiplicity exists because it's now possible for an actor to appear on screen with himself and not by means of anything so quaint as double exposure. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe jokes, which are frequent and frequently successful, make this motion picture worth sitting through, even though, at nearly two hours, it runs on for far too long. For those who are just looking for a movie that scores high on the feel-good comedy scale, Multiplicity is a can't- miss choice. In the end, however, I couldn't help wishing that Ramis had tried for something a little more ambitious, rather than settling for a multiplicity of laughs without much genuine substance. |
