Duplex stars Drew Barrymore and Ben Stiller. They play a couple that is moving into a new duplex, but it's about to become a living hell once they realize who their neighbor is. Their neighbor is an older woman who lives alone and she has to be one of the most annoying neighbors ever. The couple is practically driven to insanity because of all of her antics. The writing can be somewhat weak at times, it has some funny moments, but mostly that's thanks to the actors and their performances, not the script. I liked Drew Barrymore and Ben Stiller in the film, they gave good humorous performances and they worked well together, had pretty good on screen chemistry. Usually I'm not a big fan of Stiller, just because sometimes I think he can be more annoying that actually funny, and he does have those moments here, but it's not pervasive. I also loved Eileen Essel in the movie. What a fine performance! Just goes to show you that age has no bearing on whether you can still act or not. She nailed her character. Annoying as ever, but all done with a smile on her face. I loved the ending too, very clever, very very clever. 7/10 for Duplex.
