When you hear Neil Simon, you automatically go to "The Odd Couple" a play, and movie that everyone knows, and most can quote. A funny, well written film about opposites. Simon wrote some very other funny plays and films. This is not one of them. Do you like middle age New Yorkers constantly whining about how their beautiful high rise apartment sucks? That the city is too noisy and smelly? How about married couples that fight and can't stand each other after the husband loses his job? If this sounds appealing, then you'll love this film. An absolute snooze fest, that doesn't even have one small laugh. I wanted to throw Jack Lemmon off of his balcony, that may have been funny, because this movie is certainly not!
