Review of The Odd Couple II (1998) by Jesse C — 30 Jun 2015
I'm a complete-ist, so I felt I had to watch this one after loving the original. Matthau and Lemmon are fine, but the writing is atrocious. Matthau gets a few one-liners he makes work, but the script is so poor the movie should never have been greenlighted.
Neil Simon wrote it? I just can't believe it, in terms of quality the contrast between this and the original is startling. I won't say a sequel should never have happened, but I will say so when this is the best ideas/writing you could come up with for it after 30 years.
