Our House not right up reviewer's street

Our House

Director: Danny DeVito

Cast: Ben Stiller, Drew Barrymore, Harvey Fierstein, Eileen Essell

Cert: 12.

Be careful when you move into a new home … things might not be as good as they seem.

Thus we have Stiller and Barrymore as a young couple moving into a large New York apartment, only to find that they have a daft Irish neighbour (Essell) who makes life miserable.

It’s a decent enough black comedy in which Stiller and Barrymore are excellent - Essell even better - and DeVito’s directing is as tight as you would expect.

It’s not a bad film, it’s just not as good as it initially promises to be.

Star Rating: 2/5
