Tragedy hides under comedy . Do you believe this words . Duplex is just the one of the comedies . Famous stars Ben Stiller , who acts Alex , and Eileen Essel , who acts Nancy , are protagonists in this movie , which released in 2003 , directed by Danny DeVito .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.
Definitely , the performance skills and quality are no problem . Mrs. Connelly is troublesome lady , is exaggerated in the film . Director through a serious of annoying scenario makes audience sympathizes the poor couple . When the couple are pushed into corner , cannot stand any more , they hire a killer and attempt to kill Mrs. Connelly . Audience , however , worry about the safty of the bothersome lady . Mrs. Connelly seems to know the day is coming and fully prepares for that in advance . Finally , the killer is injured and escapes in a horror .
Who believe such story does exist in reality ? Maybe the dramatist collects many similar stories and combines them together . The purpose is for fun . Such a comedy usally accompanys by grief . Some people don't like this sort of humor , but the movie is good , worth to watch.
