The original "Odd Couple" remains one of my all-time favorite movies, but this sequel to it, what, 40 years later? is just sad. Walter Matthau is old and tired, Jack Lemmon is old and tired, and Neil Simon must be old and tired too, to come up with such an un-funny and frankly embarrassing script.
I turned this one off right after Lemmon said the F-word. No way in the world would Felix Unger say anything like that, and I would be completely dismayed and surprised if Neil Simon wrote it that way; I think some young whippersnapper on the set told Jack Lemmon to say it to make the dialog more "up to date" but it ruined what little hope I might have had for this film.
