Comment:
Nice surreal comedy, featuring a good Michael Keaton playing four different 'versions' of the same character being cloned. The special effects are really good, there seems to be no limit to the interaction between the cloned characters unlike older movies.

I usually don't like this sort of light comedies based on people swaps and misunderstandings, that's why I didn't fully enjoy this movie although I have to admit that it is quite good in its own genre.

The happy ending is rather unusual and I expected something different which is another good point in favour of this movie.


Rating: 6.8  ***
