Sheriff: Okay, now explain to me one more time how the rental car caught fire and exploded.
Oscar Madison: He called me a shithead and punched the car, it went rolling down a cliff.
Sheriff: Why did you punch the car?
Felix Ungar: Because the shithead threw the directions out the window and left my suitcase at the rental car agency.
Sheriff: Why did you throw the directions out the window?
Oscar Madison: Because they caught fire from my cigar ashes and were burning on my crotch!
Felix Ungar: The first time he's been hot down there for years.
Oscar Madison: I just wanted you to know what it felt like down there...
Sheriff: OK, boys, settle down. You two don't get along too well, do you?
Oscar Madison: Oh, that's not true. There was a period of 17 years that was wonderful. Then unfortunately we saw each other again.
Sheriff: And who did you say was getting married?
Felix Ungar: My daughter and his son.

A Little Bit Odd

This sequel to "The Odd Couple" is odd. First of all, I don't think one really needed to happen and second of all if one was meant to be made it should have been made a little earlier. The 90's did sort of overuse the dynamic duo known as Lemmon and Matthau. Even in the 80's they paired up. But with films like "Grumpy Old Men", "Grumpier Old Men", "Out to Sea" and of course "The Odd Couple II", you have to ask yourself whether or not this great comedic pair really needed to return as Felix and Oscar. Still they both have the great chemistry on screen together. Always had, but this sequel felt oddly strained to me since most of it I've seen already in "Grumpy Old Men".

The script by the great Neil Simon was very hit and miss with the jokes and the whole premise of both of them going to their children's wedding was forced. The direction and editing was pretty sloppy and there was a moment when they were walking in the desert when I almost had a brief flash back of when I saw the movie "Ishtar". The only thing worth seeing and is why I watched it is for Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. Despite this odd sequel having a crapola premise, you still gotta love these guys. I'd say watch it for them, but also check out the first movie.
