Duplex

Pros: Drew Barrymore getting vomited on, the Clap Wars!
Cons: Thou shalt not kill.

What happens when Home Alone is riding on an eastbound train, departing from Los Angeles at 80 mph, There's Something About Mary is riding a westbound train, departing on that same railroad track from Houston at 75 mph? Duplex is ...

Pros: A titter here and there...
Cons: Rushing the reactions kills identification with the characters

My brother would hate this film with a passion. It is one of those "bad things keep happening to people" sorts of films. You know the type. The ones where the main character (or characters) keep(s) getting drawn deeper and deeper into a whole mess of p ...

Pros: Funny situations, I discovered Eileen Essell.
Cons: Not that funny. Could have been much better.

I wanted to relax the other day by watching a little TV and I found Duplex on the TV, featuring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore, two actors I like a lot, although for different reasons. I had seen the previews for this movie, but considered it was ...

Pros: Eileen Essel doesn't just steal the show, she owns it.
Cons: a little predictable at times

A neighbor next door to Casa Kidden doesn't like snoring. OK, to each their own, right? Said neighbor told my wife that she thought she was being attacked by monsters during the night. Said neighbor also began accosting me outside my home and offering ...

Pros: enjoyed the actors (but not the story), beautiful stained glass windows in the duplex
Cons: predictable plot, unimaginative, drags in spots

I enjoy Drew Barrymore's acting, and I sometimes like Ben Stiller. A friend had recommended Duplex, and a comedy sounded good. Little did I know. Brief Plot Synopsis Alex and Nancy want to settle into a large living space now that ...

Pros: Eileen Essel
Cons: Everything else

Looks like most people agree that this movie was a complete flop. It was not a bit funny. Most of the situations that got the couple into trouble with the old lady occurred because they bothered her initially. The acting is half done and the script ...

Pros: No pros
Cons: Unlikable characters, movie has no shape

I expected more of Duplex, which I ultimately didn't feel like it met it's expectations at all. The sad thing is you've got a solid cast and a good director but yet, this is all you can come up with? I think the only attention this movie received was the ...

Pros: Mildly entertaining
Cons: Jokes and gags are groaners you can see coming a mile away.

Director Danny Devito (of Taxi fame) returns to black comedy with DUPLEX, starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore as Alex and Nancy, a hapless couple who seem to have stumbled on the real estate find of the year - a 19th century duplex in Brooklyn with wo ...

Pros: "That old woman..she is mean!" quote Alex, "Duplex".
Cons: Does not seem complete

With America being busy all the time, I was no exception compare to the next working person in Florida. I have school, deadlines, quizzes, and test that--unlike highschool--are waiting for me around the corner. My car was finally fixed from a car acci ...

Pros: Audience can relate to the movie
Cons: Predictable ending, Lame comedy

DUPLEX starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore as Alex and Nancy. In this movie Nancy and Alex run into a a 19th century Duplex in Brooklyn, beautiful designing of stain glass windows, with 1,800 sq foot space! There always seems to be a catch in life, in ...

Pros: Drew Barrymore is an awesome actress.
Cons: Danny DeVito does not do a cameo.

Directed by Danny DeVito, “Duplex” is a comedy about a young couple, Alex (Ben Stiller) and Nancy (Drew Barrymore), where buying an affordable brownstone duplex in Brooklyn, N.Y., leads them to try all sorts of antics to get rid of their disturbing upstai ...

Pros: Not many...okay, it was right on the edge of possibly working.
Cons: Few laughs, topped with a story that goes from implausible to ridiculous...

What is it that makes a film work or not work? You know the type, it's an actor or actress ( or director, in this case, Danny DeVito ) you know, so you excitedly bring home the film, put it on, watch & finish it and then say...the worst. Well, so much ...

Pros: Stiller and Barrymore make a cute and entertaining couple in this wildly amusing comedy!
Cons: There were unrealistic parts. The "big scam" that is pulled is not explained well.

This comedy is about a young couple trying to find an appropriate home in NYC. This reminds me of a modern day version of "Money Pit". The couple finds a stunning duplex with three fireplaces and a parlor with built-in bookshelves. Since he (Ben Stiller) ...

Pros: Barrymore is a solid actress even in a Charlie's Angels fluff role.
Cons: Stiller's cookie cutter acting and lack of versitility drag it down a bit.

This film started out indicating a good plot (though beit not exactly original in nature). I suppose it best to get the bad out of the way... Hair stylist. Let us hope this one doesn't get hired often. Poor Drew seemed to have suffered the brunt. What ...

Pros: Eileen Essel
Cons: Wildly unoriginal

Channeling elements of Throw Momma From The Train and The Money Pit, Duplex is Home Alone for grownups in which a young couple devises increasingly homicidal ways to be rid of the annoying old lady living in the rent-controlled apartment upstairs. And, ...
