		Eileen Essel doesn't just steal the show, she owns it.
		Connelly, (Eileen Essel)a "sweet old lady" in poor health living in a rent-controlled apartment in the upper half of the duplex.
		She goes from frail and sickly, to dotty and kind, to sharp and comically impressive as the movie ticks along, and she wears each facet of the character like a second skin.

		Connelly (Eileen Essel, “Ali G Indahouse”) who lives on the rent-controlled second floor of the duplex, and can’t be kicked out.
		While the script gives the cast some incredible situations to deal with - including a barf scene which is admittedly crude, but entirely effective and hilarious - it’s the cast that sells the triangle of comedy skillfully.
		Eileen Essel is the real star of the film, putting in a hearty performance surrounded by two noted comedians.

		Novelist Alex (Ben Stiller) and magazine editor Nancy (Drew Barrymore) are a loving yuppie couple who, in planning a future that involves children and a safer environment, decide to move from their cramped Manhattan apartment into a Brooklyn townhouse.
		Connolly (Eileen Essel), is nearing the end of her life.
		Essel is a comic genius in her every moment on screen, full of energy, syrupy sweetness, and feuding grotesquery.

		Connelly (Eileen Essel), the widow of a seafaring man whom she refers to as "Big Dick." Nowadays she amuses herself by clumping along with Riverdance, blasting away in a brass band with other ancient ladies and keeping company with Little Dick, her macaw.
		She becomes a full-time job for Stiller, who is trying to finish his second novel on deadline.
		Essel's comic timing is on target, and she's willing to undertake a wide range of disgusting antics.

	The Bottom Line: Duplex
		The only catch is a rent-controlled tenant in the upstairs apartment (Eileen Essel).
		Stiller has been reined in a bit so that his tendency to chew scenery and go too far over the top to be funny is muted.
		The real scene stealer, though, is Essel, who may be 81 but can still hold her own in a fight scene.

	Moving into comic mayhem / Yuppies, neighbor clash in 'Duplex'
		The urban-nightmare comedy "Duplex" stays funny despite rickety gags because Ben Stiller and 81-year-old Eileen Essel are old pros at playing it straight.
		Essel, a British actress just now getting juicy parts, offers a counterpoint to Stiller's open book by revealing nothing.
		She maintains her character's kindly demeanor, rebuffing Alex and Nancy's offer of a bottle of wine with a smiling "Drinking is a sin." Essel resists the urge to mug as the movie's comedy grows broader and nastier.

	The Popkorn Junkie :: Duplex
		This is how 'out of the loop' I was -- I had no idea "Duplex" was directed by Danny DeVito until I saw the credits at the end of the film.
		Stiller and Barrymore are moderately charming, though Stiller's comedic talent is ultimately wasted on deadpan DeVito.
		Eileen Essel is fabulous as the old lady, and I just cannot remember having seen her in anything else before, which is a shame.

		The seemingly cute and innocent old bitty annoys Alex with her fuzzy math (in one of the film's funnier bits, she's seen counting everything from pennies to blueberries) and keeps the couple up all night with her television.

	[No title]
		Uncannily similar in tone to "Smoochy" and "Train," "Duplex" delivers hilarious moments and a stellar performance from the little-known Eileen Essel as the renter from hell.
		It is not surprising that co-writer Larry Doyle is a veteran of "The Simpsons" and "Beavis and Butt-head," and John Hamburg wrote for Ben Stiller's unique comedic style in "Zoolander" and "Meet the Parents." The hip humor derived from the hapless victim is a thematic vein that pulses through all of these efforts.
		Kudos to novice actress Eileen Essel who is superb as the old bitty.

		Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore team up for big laughs in director Danny De Vito's new film "Duplex." It is the delightfully dark story of a couple desperate to land their dream home, if they can somehow rid the premises of a tough old tenant played by Eileen Essel.
		And there were plenty of bubbles between Danny De Vito and Eileen Essel when they recently reunited in New York.
		Essel adds, "I must say this morning I felt rather hung over."

		Connelly (Eileen Essell), a sweet old Irish lady who's been living upstairs for years; rent-control laws ensure that the upper floor is hers until she moves or dies.

		Connell, and she's played by the actress Eileen Essel, who is 81, but skips around the apartment like a cheerleader.
		Maybe they used doubles for some of the movement, but Essel is filled with energy, aggressively cheerful despite their raids on her sanity, and keeps them guessing: she mentions at one point that her husband died in 1963, after they had been married 58 years.
		Barrymore's eyes almost cross as she tries to do the math.

	Movie Review for Duplex [DVD] - 2004-03-19 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		When the sweet old lady (Eileen Essel) stops being so sweet and instead turns into a neighbor’s worst nightmare, the owners have to find a way to get rid of her, and as she can’t be kicked out, this means resorting to drastic measures including possibly murdering the old bat.
		Sadly their character’s personalities are very similar to how you’ve seen the actors in other films.
		Both are able to play off each other fairly well, and Stiller’s overly dramatic reactions play particularly well off Essel’s sweet yet demonic old lady.
