May 13, 2007This Danny DeVito-directed movie is an average comedy about a sweet-faced little old tenant from hell who torments her yuppie landlords into plotting to kill her. Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore's talents are little wasted.

March 3, 2007Not a very new topic, but entertaining and with a decent portion of dark humor. It's hard not to care for how things get worse and worse, even if it's totally over the top, and the ending surprises with a (not very logical) twist. Great acting my the horrible old lady.

If you want to see Danny DeVito do good work, see him in Anything Else right now, the Woody Allen movie. Full Review

Duplex draws out the worst in us, making us laugh even when we know we shouldn't. Full Review

It doesn't take long before you want to, well, just move out and leave these characters in their rent-controlled limbo.

Duplex has its wacky, funny moments, but it misses the mark of a clever, dark comedy. Full Review

If there is one positive thing about Duplex, and saying this requires a huge amount of charity, it's the performance by little known Eileen Essel, who musters whatever grace and genuine humour this sa... Full Review

Duplex confirms the suspicion among many of us that today's mainstream movies are simply vehicles for selling other things -- in this case, the cause of New York City landlords. Full Review
