My Take: The leads make this all work out.
I watched this film last night, but I missed the first half, so I don't know the title. The film was really funny. So I decided to look for it here in IMDb, and was surprised that it was a sequel. A sequel to a classic comedy starring the same stars, much older now though. But anyway, "Odd Couple II" is satisfyingly funny, no, it was uproariously funny!!! I love the performances of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. They are really kings of comedies. They make you laugh at the jokes, with their accents and act of delivering, even if some of them don't work. The jokes come fast too. There must have been billions of jokes in this, and it's only one movie. So, convinced yet. I hope so.
I'm not really in to the comedy crowd. But "Odd Couple II" is an excellent comedy. The laughs really work and the performances by Lemmon and Matthau really make it a modern classic (for me).
Rating: ***1/2 out of 5.
