Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Prismark10 Michael Keaton returns to the light comedy genre he was known for back in the 1980s before he went all dark knight on us.Doug Kinney (Michael Keaton) is an overworked construction supervisor for a company that takes him granted and only cares for the bottom line. The people who work under him constantly mess up or turn up late. He is being pressured to work at the weekends, as his boss tells him. We have a saying if you do not show up to work on Saturday do not bother to turn up on Sunday.This leaves him with little time with his wife Laura (Andie MacDowell) and the kids and his wants to go back to work as the kids are now old enough.Doug encounters a scientist, Dr Leeds on his latest job at the Gemini Institute which is involved in cloning. Doug ends up with three versions of himself but they are not all like him in intellect or personality. The clones are supposed to make life easier for Doug who thought he could spend time relaxing but in fact complicates it.Keaton does well interacting with the various versions of himself but the comedy is strained and not particularly funny.

spideynw In order for a story to be entertaining for me, it must be believable. Meaning it cannot have immense plot holes.I could not get past the first 30 minutes of this movie. The story begins about a man who apparently has no other choice then to work a job that he apparently is so good at that he has to work 7 days a week/20 hours a day with crap pay doing what appears to be a managerial position for a construction company. Really with his experience he can't find something better? Maybe not. I'll forgive that.But next, on a job, he runs into a doctor that has figured out how to make perfect clones of people. I have no issues with the idea of cloning technology. However, after this point is where I have huge issues with the story. First of all, this doctor offers to make clones of him so he can get more time. Was this technology not patented? If so, everyone would know about it and it would not be something new. If not, why would it not be patented? And even if it was not patented, how did they hide this technology from the government??? Governments would be immensely interested in this technology (let's clone the perfect warriors). Governments would be very interested in keeping the technology from getting out as well probably.Apparently this new super technology is cheap enough for some middle class smuck to afford? New technology is usually when it is the MOST expensive, not inexpensive. They would be marketing this to the most wealthy people, not some smuck working a dead end job.Sorry, I just can't watch crap like this. I guess there are a lot of people that like crap though.

bent-mathiesen We all know the situation, where we have too much to do. We can also imagine the buzz in a family where one person build houses and the other sells it.So the idea of making clones is very good. And when you have a good actor like Michael Keaton - there are potential.However, the film is dumb. The main character talk to a doctor, who miraculously is able to make a clone with perfect memory in matter of hours.From there the film is dumb. A man clone himself, without telling his wife, not even just stupid, but under current rules illegal. He have not specific plan to keep it secret. Just letting his close live in a space the family don't use and let the clone do his work.And of course it goes crazy, as the clones (yes, more than one) cheat on each other and makes a mess of all.Typical "I am so stupid, I do not consider my actions" and have to be sooo funny in the awkward situations that occur.Add a little more brain, make it more believable and please no doctor that do discount on clones of the week - it could have been great.

mark-barry-20-73849 A very funny movie. The parts Keaton plays are all different from each other and the movie gets funnier as it goes along unlike other comedies that are played out towards the end. The final clone is a work of art, and how the other "characters" react to it is also hilarious. I watch this movie any time it is on television. There isn't really another movie like it and Keaton's deviation away form harder movies like Pacific Heights shows he's a good actor. There has been a lot of negative reviews here for the film but I can't personally see the problem that a lot of people have with it, it's not meant to be serious and provides great entertainment. Worth a watch.
