Slid this into the DVD player on a rainy afternoon, and spent two hours smiling now and then. Duplex is not a great art film, nor does it pretend or aim to be. But it's good for a few laughs, and other than using the old formula - one desperate problem solving attempt after another going south - it was pleasant enough. Eileen Essell, whom I've never seen before (at least I'm not aware of having seen her in anything) was a hoot as the Irish wolf in sheep's clothing. This movie will give you a new appreciation for rent control!

Sure, this movie streaches the imagination a bit, but it's a comedy that is actually pretty funny. Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore play a couple who are trying to start a family and need to move into a bigger apartment to do so. They find a duplex that is "too good to be true". And that rings true. Little did they know their sweat quiet old lady upstairs isn't so quiet. A landlords nightmare, this duplex is more than what they bargined for. Danny Divito did a pretty good job with this flick, worth a rental.

This movie is just awful. A few funny moments, but nowhere near Drew Barrymore's typical caliber. Please don't bother.
May 26, 2007This movie is so funny! We rented it, loved it, and then purchased it and have watched it several times now. Ben Stiller always cracks me up! Drew Barrymore is funny in this movie, too, and you'll fall in love with the "nice", elderly neighbor lady. (umm....maybe) I highly recommend this movie for lighthearted fun. You won't be disappointed.
