December 15, 2007To tell you the brutal truth, I can't say I really remember much. What I DO know is that it stars one of my least favourite actors, Ben Stiller.
Umm, I do believe I remember something about a couple who move into a house. And they're neighbour is a pest (aren't they always in th...( read more) -
October 7, 2007Quite funny, that old lady cracks me up big time! Starts of well and gradually gets better as it goes.

July 17, 2007I give this movie 1 star (because they won't let me give it less) for being exactly what I thought it was going to be; A brainless comedy that requires none of your attention and perfect for one of those nights when you're just too tired to watch a movie that really matters.

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.

November 13, 2009I loved this movie. Stiller has a style of acting and a knack for comedy that I can't get enough of. Intersting premise and great directing by DeVito

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

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Duplex has its wacky, funny moments, but it misses the mark of a clever, dark comedy. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Duplex has a faint reek of slice-and-dice desperation, as if everyone involved realized too late that they'd hitched themselves to a turkey. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Though accurate to a certain kind of sandwich-generation experience, Duplex is not terribly funny. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Too much contrivance and not enough plausibility. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Sometimes Mr. DeVito has gone too far, pushing black humor unnervingly close to the abyss of ultimate darkness. But the unpleasantness in Duplex is handled deftly enough to keep the audience's queasin... full review
