the first time i saw this and i do not laugh too much . at the time and i be only about fifteen year old and think that maybe some of the deep humor be too mature for me to understand at the time . i have the same reaction when i view it a second time a few month ago and and this time and it be because felix abort suicide attempt at the beginning of the movie kind of darken the movie a bit . this scene make some of the thing oscar say and do to felix later in the movie seem needlessly cruel and and their personality clash weren not as amuse a they could have be . have i not already know the story and i would have be worry that some of oscar antic to felix might push him over the edge . a it be and it do not make me laugh or smile like the television show with jack klugman and tony randall do . still and all in all and a pretty good movie and it spawn one of the great sitcom on television . positive .
