Multiplicity is a 1996 film starring Michael Keaton and Andie MacDowell.
In the movie Keaton's character, a stressed-out family man, meets up with cloning enthusiast and makes a clone of himself in order to take over for himself at work while he tries to spend some quality time with his family.
The clone, called "two", turns out to be overly macho and easily irritated suffering a residual personality-quirk of the cloning process (while having all the knowledge, memory and experience of Doug).
And so, "Multiplicity" plodsalong in the gentle, reassuring manner of a TV sitcom (allthat's missing is the laugh track), with the expected "wacky"confusion resulting from the interaction of the three Dougs.
Truth be told, a couple of moments of genuinely riotousfarce do result from some rather obvious shenanigans (such asan encounter between two of the Dougs in the same restaurant),but it comes as a disappointment to see Ramis and his four (count`em: four) co-screenwriters content themselves with such simplepleasures.
The four personalities are convincingonly as slight variances on the generic personality of an actorwho may be one of the most consistently dull in movies today.It is a performance of great range only in a relative sense.
