Leave your thoughts about Duplex.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA one-joke farce so sour that it's more likely to cause an unsettled stomach than belly-laughs. |
| Hollywood.comKit BowenDuplex isn't very complicated, thank goodness, but makes sure to spread a requisite amount of mean-spiritedness. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A crude, disgusting, irritating, mean-spirited and unfunny dark comedy... |
| State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL)Nick RogersThe ending, forgoing morbidity for Christmas Eve morality, is a left-field letdown. It's an upper where it doesn't need it, but Duplex sure could use some fixing. |
| Tyler Morning Telegraph (Texas)Jonathan R. Perry... An inspired black comedy sharing the same roof with a vile, mean-spirited revenge melodrama. Like its bewildered landlords saddled with an impossible tenant, these two unwitting roommates co-habitate uneasily at best. |
| FilmStew.comTodd GilchristA sadly appropriate follow-up to DeVito's Death To Smoochy debacle, Duplex reveals not only the actors' and filmmakers' narcissism, but the studios' arrogance that such a calculated combination of proven talent will necessarily result in box office glory- |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonDreary, tedious, and mean-spirited. And those are its good points. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA glorious, light comedy whose ironic ending could be applauded by Neil La Bute. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohDeVito, with his affinity for human savagery and gift for laugh-out-loud grossness, has found comically fertile ground here. |
| Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)Josh Larsen...a funny, wicked little study in the niceties of sharing personal space and the greed with which we pursue property to get more of it. |
