Movie Info
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.

This numbing barrage of demolition humor scores only a modest laugh count.
The material is capably handled by director DeVito and lifted by Stiller, a dab hand at physical comedy who also exhibits some onscreen chemistry with Barrymore.
Top CriticEssell is brightly malevolent, and Stiller is perfect as the well-meaning homeowner.
One of the most unnerving slapstick extravaganzas I've ever seen.
If you want to see Danny DeVito do good work, see him in Anything Else right now, the Woody Allen movie.
Duplex draws out the worst in us, making us laugh even when we know we shouldn't.
Gets old fast, and the pay-off disappoints.
Despite confident direction and performances, it rarely lifts itself above the ordinary.
Danny DeVito is one of the most underrated directors of our time.
Expecting Stiller to look stressed and Barrymore to look sweet isn't exactly demanding too much of your stars.,
Hard as it is to care about these homicidal homemakers, it is harder still to laugh at them.
Barrymore wanders through scenes as if she has trouble remembering what day it is.
Offer[ed] as a grown-up variation of the kind of fart-and-vomit humor that's passed around at the cineplex every day. But why? It is what it is.
Contando com um bom desfecho (algo raro nos dias de hoje), Duplex representa um passatempo razoável.
Duplex puts its viewers in a painful suplex.
