In this zany comedy, Michael Keaton is Doug Kinney, a man with too many tasks and not enough time to complete them. When he feels too much pressure, his temper explodes with disastrous results. So when researcher Dr. Owen Leeds (Harris Yulin) offers him a somewhat unusual remedy for his problem, he gives it a try. Soon, a fully grown clone of Doug is delivered, complete with his memories up to the time of its "birth." Being in two places at once offers some advantages, but problems arise when Doug #2 can't handle the stress of overwork any better than the original. Perhaps Doug #2 could benefit from having his own helper. Versions of Doug multiply, each of them emphasizing some facet of his character, and complications multiply. For instance, having more of him around doesn't make life simpler for Doug's wife Laura (Andie MacDowell). ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

So much alike, but so different. This movie brings a few questions about cloning that are worth asking while presenting them in a humorous tone. A well done project and one both he and she will enjoy.

This movie is great! Every mans dream come true turns into a nightmare and a lot of laughs. A couple part (which are some of the funniest) might not be appropriate for the children.

This movie is excelent, it has a great story line. Very funny, original. I never thought Micheal Keaton could be that funny. He did an excelent job portraying all thoose different characters. I think it's a good wholesome movie that teaches a lesson.
