Movie #1023 "The Odd Couple II" --- until a week ago, I did not know this film existed. Then, I accidentally came across it remote controlling through the channels and ended up on some new movie channel we have up in Wisconsin. And I must say, we enjoyed this, and we were glad we came across it. "The Odd Couple" has been always one of our guilty pleasures to watch, and it was fun to hear more Neil Simon lines again ----- ones we haven't heard before, but ones a lot like others. But there's some comfort in that, some security in knowing that there will be another joke after the one you just heard, even if you didn't like the previous one. No one else is capable of writing so many jokes in so little time.....This set up is like "in-laws" and the misadventures just keep on coming --- like another Lemmon film "The Out of Towners" ("oh my god"), and in the hands of these two more than capable actors, you just might believe that most of it happens to them! It's lots of fun, and if you come across it, it might just be fun for you to check it out!
The Odd Couple II1998PG-13 I would give this 3.8 out of 5 stars
Fussy neatnik Felix Unger (Jack Lemmon) and incorrigible slob Oscar Madison (Walter Matthau) haven't seen each other since they shared an apartment life three decades ago but they're reunited on a trip to the wedding of Oscar's son (Jonathan Silverman) and Felix's daughter (Lisa Waltz). A traumatic road trip full of misadventures ensues in this delightful tale about the classic mismatched characters.
