| | Metromix. Movie review: 'Duplex' |
 | | But "Duplex" is no "Ladykillers," a wondrous 1955 British crime comedy in which a horde of crooks, led by Alec Guinness, try in vain to terminate the indestructible Katie Johnson. |
 | | Somewhat in the vein of "Throw Momma," director DeVito's debut theatrical feature, "Duplex" is a comedy about the seemingly unspeakable: two likable young people driven to trying to kill a "helpless" old lady. |
 | | The movie lacks DeVito's usual flawless attack and sense of fun, the sheer joie de vivre with which he saturates his best work. |
