Just how far would you go to have the home of your dreams all to yourself? A couple start asking themselves that very question in this dark comedy directed by Danny DeVito. Alex (Ben Stiller) and Nancy (Drew Barrymore) are a young couple who are happy and successful, but lack one thing that they truly want -- the perfect home in Manhattan. Alex and Nancy think they may have found just the place they've been looking for when they discover the bottom half of a beautiful old duplex has opened up. While the couple are delighted with their new flat, they discover it has one major disadvantage they hadn't counted on -- their upstairs neighbor, Mrs. Connelly (Eileen Essel), an elderly woman who soon makes their lives a living hell. Persuading Mrs. Connelly to move is fruitless, since she has a long term rent-controlled lease, and as things become more and more difficult, Alex and Nancy begin to wonder if she won't go away on her own, perhaps a more drastic (and permanent) solution may be in order. Duplex also stars Harvey Fierstein, Justin Theroux, James Remar, and Swoosie Kurtz. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Would you buy a duplex without looking at the rental side? These two do. And then let the little old lady who lives upstairs ruin their lives. I gave up part way through and so missed whatever "surprise" others talk about. And I love Drew Barrymore, but this was more a Ben Stiller vehicle and he just doesn't have the chops, in my book. I never could bring myself to go back and watch the rest.

While I adore the actors in this movie, I couldn't get passed the idea that the movie was an updated version of "The Money Pit" from the '80's (Shelley Long). It was a mindless series of obvious events. I did however appreciate the little twist at the end.
