A shy freshman doesn't take long to warm up to fraternity life in this college comedy following in the tradition of Animal House and PCU. Reserved college freshman Jake Taylor (Dylan Bruno) isn't big on fraternities, but when the hardest-partying frat on campus refuses to admit his socially awkward cousin Gil (Dublin James) unless Jake pledges with him, the two are soon on their way to the wild life. When all-night benders and naked scavenger hunts begin to take their toll on Jake's grades and his fraternity-hating girlfriend, Paige (Laura Harris), begins to become suspicious of his decidedly frat-like behavior, the newly converted Greek must enlist the aid of his brothers to ensure that his scholarship isn't revoked and his girl doesn't leave him in the dust. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide.

In this zany comedy, Michael Keaton is Doug Kinney, a man with too many tasks and not enough time to complete them. When he feels too much pressure, his temper explodes with disastrous results. So when researcher Dr. Owen Leeds (Harris Yulin) offers him a somewhat unusual remedy for his problem, he gives it a try. Soon, a fully grown clone of Doug is delivered, complete with his memories up to the time of its birth. Being in two places at once offers some advantages, but problems arise when Doug #2 can't handle the stress of overwork any better than the original. Perhaps Doug #2 could benefit from having his own helper. Versions of Doug multiply, each of them emphasizing some facet of his character, and complications multiply. For instance, having more of him around doesn't make life simpler for Doug's wife Laura (Andie MacDowell). ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide.
