Who else but Danny DeVito could take a sweet little old lady and make a seriously funny sweet little old lady from hell movie that reminded me very much of Home Alone? Hmmm? Drew Barrymore, as sweet as ever, is sugar and spice and ready for some down to earth homicide, while the very demented Ben Stiller, like the twisted offspring of Chevy Chase and Jerry Seinfeld, slam dunks himself just short of his own demise. Hey, folks, Duplex is a seriously funny and entertaining piece of insanity from one of my favorite insane people, Danny DeVito. If you must have 'cinema' to be satisfied or you have no room in your heart for silliness, then you might want to skip this. Otherwise, drop in the DVD and buckle up. Duplex is ready for take off.

A couple in New York purchase a duplex at an incredibly low price. The only catch is that there is an old lady that lives upstairs and she has to remain living there. This movie was like "Madhouse" and "Home Alone" with an old lady playing Macauly Culkin.

Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore play the young couple Alex Rose and Nancy Kendricks. They are building their relationship and their careers when they buy a duplex and live in hell from then on.

The movie was funny, or it had a funny situation rather. It was amusing to see the lengths that Alex and Nancy were going through to get rid of the old lady upstairs. Truly, that woman would try the patience of Job. You don't even know the extent that you could utterly despise an old woman until you see this movie.
