Review of Duplex (2003) by Elizabeth Weitzman for New York Daily News — 26 Sep 2013
Stooping to low-rent laffs.
By ELIZABETH WEITZMAN.
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.
Ben Stiller, Drew Barrymore & Eileen Essel (on floor).
DUPLEX. With Ben Stiller, Drew Barrymore. Directed by Danny DeVito. Running time: 88 mins. Rated PG-13: Slapstick violence, gross-out humor.
There are people who can look at a creaky, crumbling house and home right in on the solid framework and fabulous fireplace.
In "Duplex," Ben Stiller is the fireplace.
As for the structure, well, this rather rickety comedy boasts a solid base, though sadly, too much of it has been plastered over with moldy jokes and leaky plot devices.
