I was watching different YouTube videos about Michael Keaton, and remembered this hilarious gem from the mid-90s. Sadly, it bombed at the box-office, but I still think its a wonderful effort from both Keaton and Harold Ramis.
For those unfamiliar with the tale, its fairly simple. Doug Kinney (Keaton) is an overworked, under-appreciated construction worker, husband, and father. A temperamental blowout at a work site attracts the attention of the building's owner, a geneticist named Leeds. The good doctor introduces Doug to the practice of cloning, so he can have some time off while his "other self" stays home with the family. Of course, everything starts going haywire, leading Doug to eventually produce two more clones, all juggling the increasing responsibility of their shared secret.
Andie MacDowell helps steady the zany plot as Doug's wife Laura, along with small roles from Eugene Levy and John de Lancie. It's a great trip, with Keaton constantly shifting from one persona to the next.
