Ben Stiller, Drew Barrymore, Harvey Fierstein, Eileen Essell

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.
2/5
