Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are reunited in this popular 1993 comedy, in which the Odd Couple veterans play John and Max (respectively), a pair of elderly bachelors whose lifelong friendship is based on mutual aggravation and constant bickering. Their competitive natures kick into overdrive when the beautiful Ariel (Ann-Margret) moves into their otherwise snowbound Minnesota neighborhood. She takes a liking to John, but after a lover's spat she also gives Max a chance at romance, and the long-time buddies reach a peak of grumpy rivalry. It's a stretch to think that Ann-Margret's dating choices would be limited to a pair of grouchy codgers, but sarcastic attitude and snappy dialogue made this a surprise hit (followed by a 1995 sequel), and Burgess Meredith adds plenty of spice as Lemmon's amorous old father. Don't forget to watch the hilarious outtakes during the closing credits! --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - WHAT RELEASE? THERE'S NO RELEASE!!
Who would have ever thought that two really old guys could be so outrageously funny. Sorry, but now that they're gone, I can't think of anyone (or two) who could compare to this team. There're so many reasons I love this movie, it's touching, snowy, and funny as hell.
One of my favorite scenes is where Max and John try to clean up and dress to impress Ariel the former Berkeley professor, to the tune "I'm Too Sexy." Too funny. And I nearly fell off my chair laughing when John was ... Read More

I love this movie and all of the actors and actresses that played in this movie. It's my of overall favorites
Rating: - Great movie!
Ok, I love this movie. On the surface it is not one that would necessarily appeal to me right off the bat, but the combination of Lemmon and Matthau is hard to beat. They were brilliant in the "Odd Couple" and they are brilliant in this film. Their chemistry was undeniable and I love watching two incredible comedic actors that do not have to resort to cursing and overy bawdy humor. This film is a great example of not only their chemistry but their individual comic genius. Oh, and the outtakes ... Read More
Rating: - Training film
Do you think grumpy is natural? Think again. Learn from the experts, Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. They really make an odd couple "Odd Couple, The" - Neil Simon (1968).
Neighbors John Gustafson (Jack Lemmon), and Max Goldman (Walter Matthau) have always been friendly rivals that play practical jokes on each other. Things really heat up with the arrival of a vivacious neighbor Ariel Truax (Ann-Margret).
Rating: - Loved them like crazy!
I always loved Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. They're never die from my
heart. I loved to see them together in the film. Of course, I've got lots
of such films in my hand now and definitely only from this Amazon.com,
my DVD shopping heaven.
I loved you too, Amazon.com, for a really great service and keeping
them Alive!.
