Leave your thoughts about The Odd Couple.
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrFor all its overfamiliarity, this is a good play, easily Simon's best, and Matthau and Lemmon inhabit it with grace and style. |
| Movie GurusJames O'EhleyTwo grown men sharing an apartment . . . and not so much as a mention of the word 'homosexual'? This could only be 1968 . . . |
| The TelegraphMartin ChiltonWhat makes the film so charming is the comic interplay between Matthau and Lemmon. |
| Family Home TheaterJames PlathSimon's The Odd Couple is proof that smart writing and adult themes can still make for a fun evening at your family home theater, if your children are older than 10. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe film still remains fresh, as amazingly the many one-liners and the wacky situation still work. |
| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyIt's just one hilarious situation after another in this classic comedy about two polar opposites (one compulsively neat, the other a slob) forced to live together. |
| The DissolveTasha RobinsonRevisiting Saks’ screen version nearly 50 years later is like a class in how comedy and storytelling evolve, and how some aspects of a story endure over time, while others get sloughed away. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA funny screen version of a very funny (if not very significant) Broadway comedy. It does well as an evening's entertainment. |
| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldClassic buddy comedy finds hilarity in its mature themes. |
| Filmcritic.comBill GibronWhen critics discuss chemistry, that onscreen magic that occurs between perfectly paired actors, the electricity exemplified by Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon is a textbook illustration of same. |
