Summary: NEIL SIMON PROBABLY LEFT TOWN
Review: Wouldn't you with your name attached to this pathetic movie? Of course Neil Simon had very little do with this fortunately. The original movie pretty much was carried by Jack Lemmon -but it had a certain charm. While no Odd Couple - Simon with the original one - did not need to be ashamed.Very few of the jokes work in this movie. For example, the bit where they mistakenly enter a sex therapy group, starts out funny, but ends up very unfunny. This movie really proves how very difficult it is to write a good comedy. My guess is they paid big $$$ for this screen adaption - yet the results look like a quick TV Movie script. Interesting thing is to look at each scene in this movie - and try to figure out how to make it funny. Once the film company had this thing locked and ready to exhibit when it first came out, one can only think of the famous words that Bernie Shaw of CNN uttered live on an actual CNN news segment last spring: "This is going to be a f....n disaster"

Summary: A funny film!
Review: This video is the cutest! In my opinion, this is even better than the Jack Lemon version. Thats hard to top... Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin are the perfect duo!

Summary: TERRIBLE!!! Acting was bad and it wasn't really funny...
Review: A huge disappointment I'm sorry to say. Steve Martin appeared in many great films, such as "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" or "Father of the Bride," however this was the worst comedy I've seen in a while. Why? Well, first of all, the jokes in it have been done a thousand times in thousands of other movies; the acting was bad... and this came as a shock because I know both Martin and Hawn are capable of much better than that... whatever that was. The plot was just as bad as the jokes -- most of the time I already knew what was going to happen before it happen... I found this movie very unentertaining and unfunny.

Summary: Stick to the Original
Review: If you've seen the original "Out-of-Towners" with Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis, there's really no reason to see the remake. Jack was so funny and put everything into his performance, but this time the humor just isn't there. The story is very rushed and it hurts the movie. For example, the couple leave Ohio, get on a plane, it can't land in New York, they can't find their luggage and are rerouted to Boston all in the first 20 minutes of the movie! And they altered the story a little, which cuts even more of the humor out of it. Like, instead of the hotel giving their room away, their credit card was decined. There's just nothing funny about that. Nor do I remember their going to a group in the hotel to talk about sex in the original movie! Making a remake of this incredible movie was a mistake. Or if they did want to do it, they could've taken the time to do it right.

Summary: Rides best on the performances of Hawn and Martin.
Review: Marc Lawrence's script for the remake of "The Out-of-Towners" is not without its flaws, but that doesn't stop it from being a watchable comedy that rides on the performances of its two leads. Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn are two of the most well-enjoyed comedic talents Hollywood has to offer, and they pretty much make the movie surprisingly enjoyable despite some unfunny scenes and a formulaic plot. Henry and Nancy Clark live out their routine lives in Ohio, so it comes as no little surprise that when there only son goes off to college abroad, their lives seem listless and uneventful. Henry has lost his job, but keeps it from Nancy when he is offered a position in an advertising firm in New York. Nancy sees it as the perfect way to spark some romance back into their marriage, and off they go, only to be laid over in Boston, where they must rent an expensive car, finally reaching the big city only to run into more problems. The obstacles, like the primary setup, are pretty basic: they are mugged in the middle of the street, their hotel will not accept their credit card, which is low on funds, which leaves them on the streets trying to think of ways to come up with money for the room. Some of these prove to be quite funny and entertaining, while other scenarios, one of which involves Martin on an overdose of hallucenogenics, seem forced and a bit agonizing for the actors. The laughs seem to die out a bit in the end, but the first two thirds of the film make up for it. Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn are the perfect comedy team for the movie, bringing the laughs on even in places where you least expect it. Martin plays Henry to be very nervous in times of tension, giving his character a goofy and awkward trait that makes him easier to laugh at. Hawn is definitely the smarter of the two, but still retains that little girl quality that makes her performances so superb. Her facial expressions, and even the tone of her voice, keep the movie upbeat and happy, which is one of its salvage factors. Not a whole lot to say about this movie, except it's one of those like-it or hate-it comedies where the stars do their very best, and that alone makes it enjoyable. It's best not to try and compare this movie to the original version: the two are so very different and spaced apart that there really is no point. There's really no point to the movie, either, but that's half the fun of it.

Summary: Extremely Funny for Everyone
Review: Weather you have been a tourist in New York City or live there anyone can relate to this movie. Even if you have not taken a bite out of the Big Apple the humor, plot and acting is first rate. I have seen the movie numerous times and whenever I watch it again, I still find myself laughing.
