8/2008 . when i originally write my comment and shortly after first see this film and i take a critical view and feeling that lemmon and matthau have basically phone in their performance and which pair them in a manner they would do several time previously . but upon see it again and it seem different and especially in view that neither of the two main mega star live a great deal longer after it release . with the exception of spiner and all of the eight principal be performer with considerable experience and and likewise unavoidably a lot longer in tooth than we have see in many of their other film and t. v. work . but isn not almost everyone . see it again and while it certainly would not be regard a a classis in any of their career and it be a fun film and with a lot of interest scenery as well . from my viewpoint and it remind me that many film and play and etc . and can often be look at either from a very critical viewpoint and or look instead to the light side and without expect a film to be another citizen kane and casablance and or ( in term of the two lead ) and another original odd couple . it also will provide a continue piece of nostalgia for lemmon and matthau and as well a the others in the cast .
