mod_rewrite won't rewrite directory rules

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^alice.html$ bob.html

This works fine. However, changing the last line to

RewriteRule ^get/?$ get.php

and I get a 404.

Funnily enough it works on my local (XAMPP) machine, but not on my host (GoDaddy). Any thoughts?

Edit: It seems that rewrite rules only work when they're not in a directory format (i.e. have a file extension).

Solution was to add "Options -MultiViews" to the top of .htaccess
