Comedy is still going on in life, 'Alex Rose' and 'Nancy Kindrix'. A young couple who believe they have found their perfect home to start a family. But there is only one problem. An elderly tenant is staying upstairs and will not go out. Alex and Nancy are trying to do everything in their power to persuade her to leave, but she refuses to move. Soon, the house of their dreams will become home to nightmares.
The material is capably handled by director DeVito and lifted by Stiller, a dab hand at physical comedy who also exhibits some onscreen chemistry with Barrymore.
