The Out of Towners has quite a few laughs, but hit and miss, with a bit of a grating lead character.
George, played by Jack Lemmon, doesn't let his wife decide anything and constantly snaps at her, as well as anyone else who tries to help. Making a big deal out of everything, reacting making things worse. The wife played by Sandy Dennis quite likable though, but my god you could've made that decision earlier. The laughs do mostly come later in the film, but things go wrong a bit too much and are a bit too self-inflicted to resonate.
