I don't really want to repeat what other reviewers have already stated. For a Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon pairing, I thought this movie was somewhat average. Nothing great. Seeing some of the older stars who haven't appeared in recent movies was a nice addition. I would still recommend their older movies over this one.
However, Gil Godwyn was the one nice touch to the movie. Seeing Brent Spiner (Lt. Commander Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation) in this type of role was wonderful. My parents hated the movie but felt Spiner stole the show. I love to see performers play different types of roles, and I feel Spiner excelled here.

One word , FUN! A type of movie that you won't get tired of watching over and over again.
Try it, you'll like it!

Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon in one of their best fims (although it's from their later years).
Great Comedy, Great Jokes, and great songs as well.
The co-stars are magnificent - Rue McClanahan, Brent Spiner, and Gloria DeHaven.
I have watched many movies with Matthau and Lemmon, and this is one of their best films.
Highly Recommended - ***** out of *****

. . .and a hideously weak plot.
My wife and I are both fans of Jack Lemmon and Walter Mathau. Together, they have produced some hysterical films, most notably "Grumpy Old Men". This film, I'm sad to say, is merely a shadow of what it could have been.
The basic plot -- an elderly (yet charming) con-man tricks his recently widowed brother-in-law into taking a cruise. Enormous humor could have been derived from this basic premise -- but unfortunately, enormous humor was NOT the result. The plot was shallow and predictable, and the humor muted. While there were a few points at which I laughed, it is certainly not the comedy classic "Grumpy Old Men" was.
I can't imagine ever caring to see this film again.

I bought this movie today and I just watched it. It was very funny but with of course some sad parts. I would also recommend Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men. Jack Memmon and Walter Mathow are very good actors in this movie. If you liked the Odd Couple, or any other movies with these actors, you would like this movie.
