(comedy)
Alex Rose (Stiller) and Nancy Kendricks (Barrymore) are a young, professional, New York couple in search of their dream home. When they finally find the perfect Brooklyn brownstone they are giddy with anticipation. The duplex is a dream come true, complete with multiple fireplaces, except for one thing: Mrs. Connelly (Eileen Essel), the cranky old lady who lives on the rent-controlled top floor. Assuming she is elderly and ill, they take the apartment but their hopes are quickly dashed when they realize that Mrs. Connelly is an energetic senior who enjoys watching her television at top volume day in and day out and rehearsing in a brass band. A writer, Alex is attempting to finish his novel against a looming deadline. However, each day as he begins to write, he is interrupted by Mrs. Connelly's numerous demands and requests and what begins as a nuisance quickly escalates into an all-out war. When Nancy loses her job and the pair are trapped at home together with Mrs. Connelly, their rage turns to homicidal fantasy as they plot ways to get rid of their no-good neighbour...

Who else but Danny DeVito could take a sweet little old lady and make a
Seriously fun sweet little old lady from hell movie that reminded me very much of
Home Alone? Hmmm? Drew Barrymore, sweeter than ever, is
sugar and spices and ready to go down to the land of murder, while the very insane
Ben Stiller, like the twisted offspring of Chevy Chase and Jerry Seinfeld , slam
Dunks himself, not far from his own demise. Hello, my friends, is a Duplex
Seriously fun and entertaining piece of madness from one of my favourites
People insane, Danny DeVito. If you must have 'movie' to be met or
You do not have space in their hearts for silliness, then you might want to skip
East. Otherwise, the drop in DVD and seat belts. Duplex
is ready to take off.
It is always nice to find a simple, enjoyable comedy in the midst of the horde of
Incorporate moneymakers released each year. Not that I have a distaste
To epics or over-produced films, but after seeing films overwhelming
That is always fun to see just a little later. And if that is what they are looking
- a simple, sweet comedy - then "Duplex" certainly fits
bill.

Almost.

Not bad, but not exactly sweet. Its premise sounds like the old
- about two owners who are trying to kill his tenant above, which is
They can not be forced to leave the apartment, because of contractual obligations. For
Alex and Nancy (Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore), this is not the first problem
any. To buy a nice Duplex in New York and have no doubts about loaning
upstairs. Quoting the title of a movie starring
DeVito (director), "What is the worst that can happen?"

Well, a lot.

At first, as always happens, everything looks nice and dandy. They move
, buy some furniture, establish their new lives, and manage to relax a little.
But soon the "sweet old lady" her real estate agent told them about shifts
be spawn of Satan. She is an Irish woman who is "more or less
Among ninety-five and one hundred-and-five," lives by itself above
plays its television very high throughout the night, boasts
Husband of its past and how great a sea fisherman who was once called Alex and Alan
It refuses to admit he has made a mistake, etc., etc. She asks Alex top
All extravagant days and has run errands for her. Alex is a struggle
writer with a deadline before his second book is due, it tries to tell
The sweet old lady who can not help out all the time. "But there
One thing," she says, and that fits in an angelic smile in order to make based
feel sorry for her.

But soon she is saying that their owners are trying to rape and murder of his
And the police side with the women. With the left to go nowhere, Alex and Nancy
eventually succumb to their anger and decide they must put off the hag
Their misery and take upstairs. Their excuse is that it is a baby
On the way, and need the room, but at that time we sympathize with
Two of them and want to see this woman killed anyway. Trust me, after that
Watch this film, he feels the same way, too.

And I guess it's part of the success of "Duplex" - like other DeVito
Movies, it takes a seemingly terrible plot (see "Throw Momma From the Train
" ;), and the promotion and development of his characters, and us drawing
Its conflicts, we refer to them. We want the hag dead
too.

Danny DeVito debut, "Throw Momma from the train," (1987) was a
Simple dark comedy that borrowed its premise Hitchcock "Strangers in
Trains . "Since then, DeVito has delivered a fair share of hits (" The War of
Roses ") and loses (" Death to Smoochy "). One thing is certain, however:
Of all his films have a style of humor, and exploitation of the
weakness of humanity, that separates them from the rest of the
Gender.

DeVito is able to make people relate to their characters and have
Fantasear doing similar things. "I am so bad," complains Barrymore
Half of the film. "Well, I have my fantasies, too," says Stiller
her, which is then followed by images of him killing the elderly above
And smiling on him. He tells her his ideas. She smiles. "You are wrong,
You! "

Terms of text, in fact, this looks very bad, and it looks as if I would be
Stone (" Natural Born Killers ") or Tarantino-written (" ;
True Romance ") film. But when you are looking at "Duplex" that everything comes to be like a
Broma, and does not seem very cruel at all, and the ability to DeVito
transform the audience into fantasizing sickos is slightly sort of genius And if
stop thinking about it. I will never kill an elderly woman but "Duplex" is
Able to make us sympathize with his characters and in accordance with their
decision. Now that is the sign of a good director
if you ask me.

4 / 5 stars.
