Editorial Review:

Mike Nichols directed the 1965 stage production of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple, but while Nichols went on to become a vitally intelligent director of contemporary comedy, Simon's career thrived in the 1970s and '80s before dwindling towards sentimental fluff like this amusing but mildly disappointing sequel. Closer to Grumpy Old Men than the wry wit of Simon's original play and 1968 screen adaptation, the movie finds former roommates Oscar (Walter Matthau) and Felix (Jack Lemmon) reluctantly reuniting for the wedding of Oscar's son to Felix's daughter. When they get sidetracked in California, the road-movie formula unleashes the comedic chemistry of Lemmon and Matthau (which alone makes the movie worthwhile), but it's too casual to match the original's depth or dramatic foundation. Simon and Grumpy director Howard Deutch could have deepened the Oscar-Felix relationship to make it funnier and more emotionally involving, but instead they've played it safe with some good laughs in the kind of sketch comedy that Nichols would avoid. Simon's capable of much better than this, but Lemmon-Matthau fans will have a good time anyway. --Jeff Shannon

Anyone who digged the original will love this remake. Sure, it doesn't cover all the bases with the exact same zip and vigor like the first, but it's not that far off. The key to the movie is that it's mostly just Walter and Jack bantering
with their zany exchanges. Thankfully, the movie didn't get hung up in plot or other characters. Neil Simon is highly funny once again, and anyone that loves Matthau has to see his delivery deliver once again in this movie. Too bad these two old birds ... Read More

A Wearthy Follow Up Of The Original From 1968.
Especially The Scenes In The Sheriff Office.

Neil Simon is a brilliant screenwriter, and Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon are the perfect team to bring it to life. In "The Odd Couple II" Oscar and Felix are reunited for a wedding after 17 years of silence. Unfortunately for them, everything goes wrong during their trip. While trying to get to their kids' wedding, they get arrested three times, attempt to hit on two younger women, and take a ride from an old man who dies a short way into the trip!
I have read all the complaints ... Read More
