Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
More Kafkaesque than comedic, more fascinating to watch than out-and-out funny.

fresh:
Although Multiplicity is funny, it's not as heartwarming or inventive as Groundhog Day.

rotten:
The comedy itself, however, is uneven and, more often than not, obvious.

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.

rotten:
Director Harold Ramis had more serious ambitions. Multiplicity should have been another Groundhog Day, which Ramis also directed, but he comes up short.
