Summary: Kind of a Let Down.
Review: Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are back reprising the roles they played on Broadway and on film, those of Felix Unger and Oscar Madison, respectively. Lemmon and Matthau work brilliantly together and after several years of starring in "grumpy old men" comedies, this was to be their last pairing together.

It's been over twenty-five years since THE ODD COUPLE and seventeen years since Felix and Oscar last spoke to each other. Felix is still in New York and Oscar is in Florida. However, the two are reunited in Los Angeles to drive together to a very special wedding: Bruce Madison (Oscar's son) to Hannah Unger (Felix's daughter). Along the way, the duo fall into all sorts of misadventures and can never seem to leave a particular small California town.

However, this wasn't quite The Odd Couple. The wit and drama that made the original so fun and entertaining to watch just isn't in this sequel. It's as though as Oscar and Felix aged, their humor staled as well. The premise of the film was so promising, but there are lots of things that just don't work. For instance, Oscar and Felix were best friends, 17 years is a long time to never communicate with one's closest and dearest friend. Still, the film does star Lemmon and Matthau and their comic chemistry is brilliant. The movie is worth watching just for that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau have done it again!
Review: Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau team up again in this teriffic comedy as the infamous Odd Couple.After being away from each other for seventeen years, Oscar Madison (Matthau) and Felix Unger (Lemmon)meet again,this time to travel to the wedding of Oscar's son and Felix's daughter. On the way they encounter tons of crazy characters and situations,after losing Felix's expensive suitcase-along with their map-and forgetting the name of the town they are driving to! This hilarious road trip is a great display of the famous team of Lemmon and Matthau

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: just as funny as the first one
Review: just as many laughs as the first one

Lemmon and Mathieu ravish just as much as Felix and Oscar as they did in the first Odd Couple movie
see this
you'll laugh and be moved too at times
with the whole story
worth the laughs every time I play this in my dvd player
it will be a hit with young and old folks 90 years from now

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The old couple
Review: Most "number twos" in movies are a lame echo of the original,and this picture is no exception. What is most noticeable in the two protagonists is the passage of time.Some scenes were still funny, but a sad melancholy pervades the film, which has very little to share whit the brilliance of the original odd couple. Not so bad as the "Grumpy old men" movies, but some of their sour flavour is felt there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Laughed so hard I cried
Review: The first 30 minutes or so are so funny. I almost choked on peanuts while watching this. I rarely buy videos but this one I have to have.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A fine movie...Walter Matthau will be missed!
Review: The Odd Couple II came close to beating the quality of the first movie. Though it did remind me of the "Grumpy Old Men" movies, they fell into the old roles of Felix and Oscar. Now that we've lost Mr. Matthau, this movie will become an American Treasure!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A huge disappointment
Review: The original Odd Couple is one of my 10 favorite movies of all time so I was excited to see what Oscar and Felix were up to now. After viewing this tragedy I had to go back and watch the original again just to get the taste of the sequel out of my mind. There is far too much bathroom humor in this movie and it has none of the subtlety and wit of the first movie. This may be Lemmon and Matthau but it definitely is NOT Felix and Oscar.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: absolutely hilarious
Review: this is much better than the first one. i literally almost peed my pants laughing. i especially like how Felix is still super perfect and all. if you need a funny movie to check out, get this.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: NOT AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL,BUT HAS A BETTER PLOT
Review: THIS MOVIE ALSO FUNNER TO WATCH AND FUNNIER THAN THE ORIGINAL. IT'S MAJOR FLAW IS THAT IT'S TOO MUCH LIKE THE "GRUMPY OLD MEN" MOVIES. OH WELL,FORGET IT. THE PLOT HAS TO DO WITH FELIX AND OSCAR GOING TO THEIR KIDS' WEDDING. THEY WIND UP ON MANY MISADVENTURES ON THE WAY (INCLUDING GETTING PUT IN JAIL A FEW TIMES). THE MATTHAU/LEMMON CHEMISTRY IS STILL TOP NOTCH AFTER ALL THESE YEARS AND MOVIES. SIT DOWN AND ENJOY THIS MOVIE. OH YEAH,YOU DON'T HAVE TO EVEN RENT IT IF YOU HAVE "SHOWTIME." IT COMES ON THIS MONTH. I WATCHED IT THIS EVENING.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oscar and Felix are Back
Review: Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon, two comedy greats, pair up again in this hilarious film. In The Odd Couple II, it has been 17 years since Oscar and Felix last saw each other. They are reunited to go to their children's wedding. Along the way they get arrested three times, encounter two lovely ladies Thelma and Holly, and get on each other's nerves no end. After making such a hit as Odd Couple, making a sequel was risky business, but Walter and Jack pulled it off! Sadly it would be their last film together.
