July 8, 2008Thirty years have passed since the original flick based on the Simon play, and Lemmon and Matthaw unite again, but something clearly is amiss in this tired story.

December 11, 2007Of course you can't go wrong with the team of Lemmon and Matthau. I didn't think this one ws quite as good as the original Odd Couple, but still full of laughs and worth a watch.

August 7, 2007A definite step-up from the last movie. It had a much better plot, more happenings and more excitement than the last one. Also it has more of the Grumpy Old Men humor, which was a God-send of its time.
