One of the things that frusturated me the most was the fact that they couldn't kill the old lady and had to hire a hit-man at the price of selling all their stuff. Actually, I had a similar upstairs neighbor when I lived in a Brooklyn brownstone years ago. Was this review helpful?
In the end, the twist comes as a true surprise.
But after the first few minutes the irritation starts. Was this review helpful? I rarely feel the urge to comment a movie, but this one really got me ANGRY.
If it was a small independent made by and starring unknowns, it would still suck. Was this review helpful?
The so-called comedy parts were just so over the top that they disgusted me instead of making me laugh.
SPOILERS THROUGHOUT: I really wasn't expecting Duplex to be Oscar material but I thought I'd like it more then I did. Time after time you're confronted by the utterly stupid, illogical and helpless behaviour of the starring couple. Was this review helpful?
This movie has some "cute" moments with the old lady, but in the end it leaves you empty. 8 out of 14 found this helpful. Evidently, director Danny De Vito made this feature to pay his debts. Duplex is ready for take off. Was this review helpful?
Here, the gag for the lowest common denominator must surely have reached its nadir. 752 views.
When they move to their new home, their lives become a hell, due to the nasty Mrs. Connelly. I think he should continues his carrier as an actor and not as a director. Now I know why this movie is so unknown to the people. Instead of finding her in breach of contract of a loud noise level ordinance, he go through the great lengths of getting her out, to include booby-trapping her house and hiring a hit-man (but I guess that's funnier.) Sure, it's tons of fun to see Barrymore vomit all over Stiller's face, but why saddle that glorious moment inside 88 minutes of crappy movie? I thought he finally found his way with ''Meet the Parents''. Although aware that they can not move the old lady from her apartment, the young couple decides to buy the duplex.
Put this on last night not know anything about it and was pleasantly surprised.
Why do lame-brained writers automatically think that old people swearing equals comedy gold??!

Duplex has a number of laugh-worthy moments, but they pop up after 10 minutes of baffling setup and provide 15 seconds of good times at a stretch.
14 out of 29 found this helpful. A hilarious, laugh out loud movie, this was really enjoyable and a must watch.
Was this review helpful? However, after enduring Dickie Roberts, The Fighting Temptations and Anything Else of late, I can’t confess that my starvation for laughs contributed to my sporadic outbursts during Duplex. Perhaps better-titled “Throw Momma From The Duplex,” it appears Danny DeVito is mining past movie experiences to create new material. Because anything to do with boys and girls private parts is really funny!
The plot was interesting and finished with a nice twist.
And if that's what you're looking for -- a simple, sweet comedy -- then "Duplex" certainly fits the bill.
Description: Alex Rose and Nancy Kendricks have just bought an apartment in Brooklyn for a great price and they soon found out that it is a Duplex. 10 out of 17 found this helpful. I say surprisingly because I don't usually find Ben Stiller movies to be all that funny, and the addition of Drew Barrymore doesn't tend to improve a comedy's prospects. Drew Barrymore is not funny at all and the whole movie is full of disgusting gags.
Was this review helpful? Always liked Drew Barrymore's movies, but this one was/is the exception. I liked Harvey Fierstein, too, doing his usual fagbag routine, but the whole movie is so stupid and dismal, I can't say one nice thing about it. Was this review helpful? How can Hollywood accept that ? Or so they think for, unfortunately, the place also comes replete with what turns out to be the tenant from hell, a doddering old woman who lives on the second floor and who makes life miserable for the two of them with her continually blaring television and her constant intrusions into their daily lives. When music and the cosmos collide.
The movie begins like any romantic comedy: the first minutes don't exactly go straight to the action nor give any huge expectations, but you are open-minded to see where the movie is going to develop.
And all it brings is frustration and anger.

This is really nothing more than sitcom humor extended to ninety minutes. Was this review helpful?
