Leave your thoughts about The Sunshine Boys.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's generally an appealing and witty film because the leads are outstanding as cranks. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonMatthau delivers one of the great comedic performances, and Simon feeds him one killer quip after another. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrNeil Simon's most irritating play is no less agonizing on the screen under Herbert Ross's sycophantic direction. |
| VarietyVariety StaffThe Sunshine Boys is an extremely sensitive and lovable film version of Neil Simon's play, with Walter Matthau and George Burns outstanding in their starring roles as a pair of long-hostile vaudeville partners. |
| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldAging comics sparkle, swear, and spar in Neil Simon farce. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyHerbert Ross' version of Neil Simon's Broadway production is still a play--verbose and repetitious at that--but it's well acted by Walter Matthau and George Burns (who won an Oscar) as the two cranky vet vaudevillians. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullThe movie itself is a bit lackluster (clever dialogue, but it really goes on and on and on...). |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonGreat chemistry between the two great comic leads and some pretty decent one-liners but this doesn't manage to hold together as a feature-length concept. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...suffers from a terminally arms-length atmosphere that's compounded by filmmaker Herbert Ross' stagy approach to the material... |
| User ReviewLarry DBold, but true statement: This movie makes me laugh out loud more than any other. Repeatedly! |
