A funny, often hilarious, film that proves that a story doesn't need to be completely new just as long as there's a spin on it to make it different. Full Review |

Irresistible...the prime hams and real-life friends share comic timing that can only come from years of experience. [Blu-ray] Full Review |

|
...sort of a one-note picture, but luckily that one note is often pretty humorous. Full Review |

Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon are awfully good at this sort of thing. Full Review |

|

[Lemmon and Matthau] made much worse in the next few years. Full Review |

|
Mediocre, regrettably. Full Review |

|
A raucous geezer comedy that contains several hilarious moments where you're laughing well into the next scene.

Just don't expect their bickering to be on the level of Neil Simon, and you won't be disappointed. Full Review |
