i be only a 12 year old kid when i initially saw this movie on the first day of my summer vacation from school back in 1970. we laugh so hard throughout that i miss many funny line . since then i have see this movie several time and and still find it uproariously funny . i be a midwesterner who love visit new york city and so i do not believe it be a put down of the big apple and but simply a comic study of a trip where everything go wrong for a very high strung person and his comparatively passive wife . lemmon play this frustration beautifully and and the angry humor be as much cathartic a it be hilarious . while no cinema classic and it remain one of the funny movie of it time and and one i enjoy upon repeat viewing .
