English Summary:
Duplex is a 2003 American black comedy film directed and narrated by Danny DeVito, and starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore. The film was called Our House for its release in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Alex Rose (Ben Stiller) and Nancy Kendricks (Drew Barrymore) are a young, professional, married New York couple in search of their dream home. When they finally find the perfect Brooklyn brownstone, they are giddy with anticipation. The duplex is a dream come true, complete with multiple fireplaces, except for one thing: Mrs. Connelly (Eileen Essell), the old lady who lives on the rent-controlled top floor. Assuming she is elderly and ill, they take the apartment.
However, they soon realize that Mrs. Connelly is in fact an energetic senior who enjoys watching her television at top volume day and night and rehearsing in a brass band. As a writer, Alex is attempting to finish his novel against a looming deadline. However, he is interrupted daily by Mrs. Connelly's numerous demands and requests, and what begins as a nuisance quickly escalates into an all-out war. Alex and Nancy try to get Mrs. Connelly to move out, but she refuses. Next, they try to file a noise complaint against her, but discover that she has already gone to the police first and filed a harassing complaint against them. Mrs. Connelly soon turns all of Alex and Nancy's friends against them by play-acting as the "poor, innocent, old lady" and makes it appear that the young couple are out to harm her.
Hungarian Summary:
Az Amerikai Álom valóra váltásáért folyó harcban Alex és Nancy elég jól állnak. A fiatal, energikus házaspárra fényes jövő vár, csupán egy dolog hiányzik boldogságukhoz: egy saját lakás. Márpedig király kérót találni New York Cityben sem könnyű. Éppen ezért úgy érzik, megfogták az isten lábát, amikor ráakadnak egy elbűvölő, kétszintes, kétlakásos házra Brooklyn egyik impozáns negyedében. Minden meseszép, egy lényegtelen apróságtól eltekintve. A felső lakásban lakik valaki. Egy kedves idős hölgy. Egy mókás öreg néni. Egy fura vénasszony. Egy undok, rosszindulatú nyanya. Egy ravasz, dörzsölt, minden hájjal megkent banya. Egy elvetemült, megátalkodott, gonosz, égetni való szipirtyó!
