Synopsis: In terms of living the American Dream, Alex and Nancy have it pretty good. They are a young, vibrant couple in New York City with bright futures ahead of them. But one thing is missing: a home of their own. When they find one, it comes with one feature they didn't expect--an upstairs tenant, Mrs. Connelly, who lives in a rent-controlled apartment, and who isn't quite as easy-going or frail as Alex and Nancy originally anticipated. As their blissful life begins to seriously fray around the edges, their dream home rapidly turns into a nightmare and they decide that they must get Mrs. Connelly out of their lives.

Think twice if you want to buy a house and it has a tenant, especially if it's an old irish lady! Duplex brings a hilarious dark comedy script about a couple who dreams to find the perfect home. When they find a spacious duplex in New York for a reasonable price, they decide to buy it, without paying attention to one special detail... Mrs. Connelly, the old irish lady living in the second floor of this duplex. Once they move into their new home, they won't stop facing extreme and bizarre situations, all related with their tenant... Mrs. Connelly. This old lady cracks me up! So hilarious! A really fresh plot with an enjoyable cast. Totally recommended.
What did I like from this movie?
1. When Ben and Drew are in bed kissing each other naked and they see Mrs Connelly watching them through the window, hilarious!
2. The moment when Mrs Connelly critics Ben for being at home and taking naps all afternoon
3. All the different things they do trying to make Mrs Connelly leave the apartment or at least... pass away! Getting the flu, hiring a hit man, etc, etc, etc
4. The clapping toy to turn the TV off, hilarious!
5. The moment when she's eating chocolate, choke and looked like she died... Ben has to give her mouth to mouth, she opens her eyes and reports him with the police
6. I couldn't stop laughing when I discovered the whole dark plan and situation involved with this house, the tenant and other people
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. It was really funny and entertaining. I couldn't ask more for it, it was ok
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

Enjoy it!... Watch it!
Funny movie! I love Ben Stiller and that old lady is HILARIOUS!
I remember liking this movie but I didn't think it was especially good enough to buy. I'd watch it again if it were on instant play or on the TV.

The old lady makes it so worth to watch. I totally love that old Irish lady!
