Amazon.com essential video:
An inevitable idea: a working man (Michael Keaton) who can't meet all his professional and family responsibilities has himself cloned. It works so well having one copy of himself to take charge of matters at the office that he makes another copy who takes care of the home front. Pretty soon, different aspects of Keaton's personality are emphasized in the different clones: the laborer becomes a macho creep and the domestic god becomes rather feminine. A third clone, struck from the duplicates instead of the original, becomes like a photocopy of a photocopy: inferior. This timely comedy should be better than it is, but special-effects requirements are so labor-intensive that most scenes feel stiff and leaden. Keaton is good in all four parts, and in certain gee-whiz effects scenes, where he even high-fives himself, he pulls off a minor miracle or two. (Of course, a kid did the same thing in Disney's 1998 remake of The Parent Trap.) The DVD release includes optional widescreen and standard formats and optional French and Spanish soundtracks. --Tom Keogh
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Michael Keaton at his best
Michael Keaton and Andie MacDowell fit together perfectly in this film about cloning yourself to meet the demands of your life. Unbelievable photography enables you to visualize the "clones" altogether in certain scenes and amazing variances in Keaton's character portrails really cause you to jump right into the story. Great love story and truly rare humor easily make this a keeper and a 5 star rating.

Rating: - Funniest Michael Keaton Movie
This is the funniest Michael Keaton movie I have ever seen. It's a very clever, entertaining comedy. My teen age grandson laughed until tears came to his eyes. He said, "I've never heard of this movie." I found that many people haven't. I don't know why it wasn't promoted more. It involves cloning - big time. Each clone is a personality split from the original plus a copy of a copy doesn't turn out too well. Michael Keaton plays all the parts, (mostly anyway). The whole family can watch this ... Read More
Rating: - Nice Comedy
This is a movie I used to show some of my colleagues at work that even replicas will have their own way of doing thing. This movie is a very nice comedy, light hearted and enjoyed very much.
