	Author	Review
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"'Multiplicity' weaves such an uninteresting plot around its bland, generic principals that it rarely reaches the absurdist heights its premise demands."	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Watching the film, I enjoyed a lot of it, especially Keaton's permutations on the theme of himself (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"A pleasant two-hour diversion, but it could have been more than that (...) Unfortunately, the filmmakers left at the first exit -- silliness -- and relied on the comic skill of Michael Keaton to get them home"	NEU

United States	Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"The small technical miracle of four Keatons interacting believably in the same scene is impressive. But aside from that, 'Multiplicity' makes thin inspirational use (...) of these four faces of ’90s Man"	NEU
