What is Beetlejuice / Multiplicity about?

BEETLEJUICE, 1988, Warner Bros., 92 min, Comedy/Spooky, USA. Dir. Tim Burton. Yuppies Jeffrey Jones and Catherine O’Hara move into a new home only to find that it’s haunted by a ghost couple (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) with no intention of letting the new inhabitants stay. Their solution: the obnoxious miniature exorcist of the title, a hilarious comic creation played with gusto by Michael Keaton. MULTIPLICITY, 1996, Sony Repertory, 117 min, Comedy, USA. After being approached by a geneticist, construction worker Doug Kinney (Michael Keaton) seems to find a solution to his chaotically busy life - cloning! Keaton's usual hilarity only, well, multiplies as his person doubles and triples on screen. From director Harold Ramis, also known for brilliant comedy GROUNDHOG DAY, MULTIPLICITY deals with a different kind of terrifically funny repetition, and Keaton’s performance is masterful in this underrated gem.
