Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

After the success they had had with 'Grumpy/Grumpier old men' it wasn't surprising really that someone would try to bring back Matthau and Lemmon as their most famous characters, Oscar and Felix. That doesn't however mean they should have! It's a decent enough premise and the scene in the airport is great, but apart from that it really feels like an excuse just to put these two comic legends together again. The story is largely irrelevant, we just like seeing them spar off each other.Simon's script has all the zingers of old, but there just isn't enough to hold the whole thing together. There is an air of pointlessness about the whole film.If you love Matthau and Lemmon then watch this film, however if you want to see them at their best, watch the original 'Odd Couple'.

Firstly let me just say I love Walter Matthau his puppy dog face with his expressions and the lisp are funny, never mind him actually being funny as a person - jack lemon is OK but I think he relies heavily on other peoples performances, definitely not a lead actor but still good.These actors are actually more entertaining the older they get but unfortunately they have both died not so R.I.P both of you, they will be missed.I love this film and is one of the many films I've searched for with them together since I watched the terrific grumpy and grumpier old men. This is a good film because of the chemistry and there characters, the story is decent and the whole theme generally works very well. And I think for the aforementioned reasons that this is actually much better than the first one, good job guys!

The original "Odd Couple" remains one of my all-time favorite movies, but this sequel to it, what, 40 years later? is just sad. Walter Matthau is old and tired, Jack Lemmon is old and tired, and Neil Simon must be old and tired too, to come up with such an un-funny and frankly embarrassing script.I turned this one off right after Lemmon said the F-word. No way in the world would Felix Unger say anything like that, and I would be completely dismayed and surprised if Neil Simon wrote it that way; I think some young whippersnapper on the set told Jack Lemmon to say it to make the dialog more "up to date" but it ruined what little hope I might have had for this film.

Any movies with old dudes fighting like my old man is funny. I'm serious. This movie might not be the biggest thing ever but it certainly made me laugh. Its a classic in my list. There's no deep message but its a damn good movie. Watch it with your old folks. They'll like it. Many dudes i know says it's just a movie about old men complaining. They're right, but they're funny old man with funny complaints. It's a good kind of movies that the "seniors" would like. It's a shame the two old guys won't be making anymore movies. It was the only movie my old man would watch as a comedy. This movie is my girlfriend's favorite among those two old guys. Anywho...It's a good movie and you should watch it(kudos to you dad)
