Let me start with the obvious: this film is of it's time. It's slight, whimsical, wish-fulfillment fun. There is no great need to place too much faith in the science, which in fact is part of the fun also. Who would've thought that cloning might be like photocopying, crossed with vacu-forming? Michael Keaton does very good work presenting very different personas, well distinguished from eachother, while retaining their sources in the original character's makeup. Andy McDowell's just along for the ride, but fills her role well. It's really an adult comedy, Keaton is very good at the sharp dialogue and asides, a child might be mystified by much of what passed, while laughing uproariously at the visual humour.
