Multiplication
Intrigue
Voici le résumé de l'intrigue de "Multiplication" : Dans cette comédie de 1996, Doug Kinney (incarné par Michael Keaton), un ouvrier du bâtiment, se sent dépassé par les exigences de son travail, de sa vie de famille et de son propre sentiment d'inadéquation. Après une journée de travail particulièrement épuisante, la frustration de Doug déborde, et il se retrouve soudainement à se cloner en de multiples versions de lui-même. Le premier clone, "Doug 2", est une version plus détendue et décontractée de Doug, qui devient rapidement le favori de l'équipe de construction. Le deuxième clone, "Doug 3", est une version plus âgée, plus sage et plus expérimentée de Doug, qui assume un rôle de mentor auprès de ses jeunes versions. Au fur et à mesure que le clonage se poursuit, Doug se retrouve à jongler avec de multiples personnalités, chacune ayant ses propres forces et faiblesses. Il lutte pour maintenir le contrôle sur sa nouvelle multiplicité, mais cela devient de plus en plus difficile à mesure que ses différents alter ego commencent à développer leurs propres personnalités et motivations. Pendant ce temps, la vie de famille de Doug est bouleversée par l'apparition soudaine de ces nouveaux "Doug" (comme ils se désignent eux-mêmes). Sa femme Laura (Andie MacDowell) est déconcertée par la transformation soudaine de son mari, tandis que leur fille Jennifer (Traylor Howard) est ravie par l'excitation et le chaos qui ont fait irruption dans leur vie. Alors que Doug navigue dans cette situation chaotique, il doit faire face à sa propre identité et à ses priorités. Sera-t-il capable de trouver un moyen d'équilibrer ses multiples personnalités avec ses responsabilités de mari, de père et d'être humain ? "Multiplication" est une exploration hilarante et réconfortante des absurdités et des possibilités qui surgissent lorsque nous sommes forcés de confronter notre propre multiplicité.
Critiques
Ava
Planting My Husband in the Spring Harold Ramis, as a director and writer, delivers a comedy film that, while not groundbreaking, provides consistent laughter. "Multiplicity" explores the comedic premise of cloning a single individual multiple times, leading to a cascade of humorous situations and personality clashes. Michael Keaton shines in his multiple roles, skillfully differentiating each clone with distinct quirks and traits. The film cleverly examines the concept of identity and the challenges of maintaining individuality when faced with numerous copies. Although the humor leans towards slapstick at times, Ramis manages to maintain a lighthearted and entertaining tone throughout. While the film doesn't delve into deep philosophical questions, it still provides moments of introspection as the characters grapple with their unique existence and the impact on their relationships. "Multiplicity" may not be a cinematic masterpiece, but it's a feel-good comedy that offers plenty of laughs and a touch of heart.

Bird #1, Bird #2, Bird #3, Bird #4. A lighthearted, humorous family comedy. Michael Keaton has a field day playing four different versions of himself under one roof.

Honestly, with any actor in the current era, this movie would spawn countless fanfics. The premise of just two clones already offers plenty of room for imagination, but this has four, and one's even gay! =. = It's genuinely funny, so I'm surprised the ratings are so low. Maybe it's because the movie is too long [.]

Back in the day, this might have been a laugh riot. But with special effects so commonplace now, the novelty that made it stand out is largely gone.

Alright, here's a possible translation depending on the context of the film review. I'll offer a couple of options, let me know if a specific nuance is needed: **Option 1 (General exasperation/disbelief):** "Pipe dream." **Option 2 (More sarcastic/dismissive):** "Yeah, right. In your dreams." **Option 3 (Emphasizing the absurdity):** "Dream on." **Option 4 (If talking about a character's unrealistic plans):** "Living in a fantasy world."

"Doug Kinney's chaotic life is both relatable and hilarious in 'Multiplicity'. As a construction worker struggling to balance work and family life, his decision to clone himself seems like a desperate yet genius move. The film's comedic take on identity crisis and the consequences of playing God will keep you entertained, but also raise questions about what it means to be human. With a talented cast and witty humor, 'Multiplicity' is a lighthearted comedy that explores the complexities of modern life."
