like the rest of the country, we've been struck with "duplex" fever! we haven't been able to get much work done, since most of our waking hours have been spent yukking it up at the multiplex. this flick is so great i don't know where to start! how about the actors? ben stiller was perfectly cast as an ugly little jewish guy and drew barrymore wowed us all with her peformance as a mildly retarded eight year old! do i smell double oscars?
anyway, check out our new (to you, at least) short, open mic night.
here's a plot summary:
In terms of living the American Dream, Alex and Nancy have it pretty good. They're a young, vibrant couple in New York City with bright futures ahead of them. But one thing is missing: a home of their own. But their new home comes with one feature they didn't expect: an upstairs rent-controlled tenant, Mrs. Connelly, who isn't quite as easy going or frail as Alex and Nancy originally anticipated. As their blissful life begins to seriously fray around the edges, their dream home rapidly turns into a nightmare. It's then that they start to wonder: if they can't move Mrs. Connelly out...
