This was the first human cloning movie I'd ever seen. Then came movies such as "The 6th Day," "Godsend," and others. "Multiplicity" dealt with the issue comically without delving into the science of it all.
Doug Kinney (Michael Keaton) was an overworked contractor who only wanted a little more time to himself. While doing a job at a Malibu research lab he was offered the opportunity to clone himself so that he'd have that time he so desired.
He ended up with three clones: one was the workaholic, one was a Mr. Mom (yeah, another Michael Keaton movie), and one was totally useless. Well, have you ever watched a cloning movie in which things didn't go horribly wrong? While some things went right, there were still a comedy of errors with his wife and his job (both of whom were very quick to punish him).
I've contemplated the cloning matter myself: if I had a clone or two then I could just relax. Then I thought, "They'll need to eat, they'll need clothes, they'll probably want to have a relationship and all of that costs money. I don't make enough to support clones!" Then what if one wants to be a jokester, or one is upset and wants to hurt me... Yeah, cloning isn't a good idea.
