Firstly there are no parallel universes, it's pure fiction. The problem with the movie is that it is very boring. The character now enters a random existence passing from one universe to another. You'd think this would make for the most interesting movie imaginable. No it does not.

Plot summary
Diggsy Ellston has been in love with Suzette Larking since he was a boy. When Suzette gets married to another man, Diggsy meets a stranger who offers him an unbelievable gift: the unusual possibility of finding another Suzette. This offering comes in the form of a key that opens doors into parallel universes. Universes where other versions of Suzette may not only exist, but where one of them could even possibly love him. Sounds magical, but there's one major catch: Once Diggsy uses the key, he can't go back; he will forever leave everyone and everything he has ever known. Diggsy's hesitation lies in the strong bond he shares with his sister, Daphne, but he justifies his decision to leave on the belief that she wants him to move on in life. With every new universe comes a new decision: Stay or leave? Settle or keep chasing the dream of finding a Suzette who will love him? Diggsy's journey is filled with comedy, heartbreak, adventure, and a heavy dose of fish out of water.

Boring movie that could have been phenominally interesting.
Quirky movie that will tug heart strings
Some viewers do not understand this movie... which honestly makes me wonder why they chose to watch it in the first place. It's not what one would call "cerebral fiction" that has to be analyzed.
Another Version of You is basically a romance / comedy / science-fantasy film that is very straight forward from beginning to end. It may not lead where one is expecting, but is certainly worth the journey.
This movie has heart, is enjoyable to watch from beginning to end, and doesn't have the problems many such films have of contradicting itself, leaving plot holes wide open, or making zero scientific sense. Most of all it doesn't employ endless, repetitious deja-vu. There is of course elements of such, but not to the point it becomes annoying; they serve more to tighten the film and make it more sensible.
The story line of the film-- given the subject matter-- is easily believable. The decisions the main character makes while not always wise, are exactly the kinds of things that might actually happen given these circumstances.
For those who didn't get it, hated it, missed the point, sorry but hey, it just wasn't your kind of film. The (current) 5.6 rating does not do this film justice. It is unique, different and tugs at the heart strings. Based on the plot it delivers in every aspect. The ending makes one think about all sorts of possibilities... which is exactly what this movie is all about: all sorts of possibilities.
What would you do if you had a key that lead to everywhere? What if you had an unlimited number of do-overs... and discovered that may not be best?
I don't know if this could be classified as a "brilliant" film... but it's certainly unique, different and thought-provoking.
A movie with a big heart
This is such a great movie. I didn't know anything about it, I saw the title, liked the design aspect, font used in the titles; and read a short synopsis then dived in. A completely satisfying journey through parallel worlds with a hopelessly romantic man chasing the alternate version of woman of his dreams. In other hands this would not have worked. It had to have an ensemble cast that worked well to cover the myriad changes of worlds, and it was pitch perfect. Beautiful performances from them all. It helps of course to have a well written script and hip dialogue. I can imagine if this was given a big budget and big studio backing this would have ruined it. It has a soul that is very rare in movies. A terrific soundtrack too, and the music aids the transition between worlds and adds an emotional backdrop. I really can't speak more highly of the film. It's right up there with the best of Billy Wilder but really is incomparable to any other director. It has such pathos and an honesty and love, that is just absent from any Hollywood film of the 21st century I can think of. I've been raving to my friends about it, which I don't think I've ever done. Absolutely fantastic. Heartbreaking also to see that the film was dedicated to the memory of Brittany Belland one of the principal actors in the film. I shed a tear over that. Please let this movie into your life and feel it's life affirming goodness.
