More Kafkaesque than comedic, more fascinating to watch than out-and-out funny.

Although Multiplicity is funny, it's not as heartwarming or inventive as Groundhog Day.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
The comedy itself, however, is uneven and, more often than not, obvious.
Susan Stark, Detroit News
Rotten
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.
Keith Simanton, Film.com
Rotten
Director Harold Ramis had more serious ambitions. Multiplicity should have been another Groundhog Day, which Ramis also directed, but he comes up short.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
