Black comedy about a young couple (Ben Stiller and Drew
Barrymore) who think they found their perfect home in New York City's
competitive real estate market: A huge, affordable brownstone in Brooklyn that
happens to be a converted duplex apartment: But an apparently sweet old lady
(Eileen Essell) lives in the upstairs apartment and she soon consumes every
moment of their lives with inane requests that lead to various accidents. They
have to wait until she leaves or dies -- naturally, or with a little help. Also
with Harvey Fierstein, Swoosie Kurtz and Maya Rudolph. Directed by Danny DeVito.
[1:37 - PG-13]
