Ludicrous

hilarious work by neil simon, and jack lemmon and sandy dennis work wonders together. the plot never lulls and it always keeps you entertained and asking for more.

A ridiculously entertaining film where a married couple comes to New York and everything, and I mean everything, goes wrong. I'll admit to not being to impressed during the pre-New York scenes, but once they do the film builds up the hilarity from scene to scene. Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis are great as the movies namesake couple, with not much else notable as far as performances. I guess the film is possibly a little to biased against New York and big cities in general, though.

As a black comedy it certainly has its moments, but overall somehow feels a little empty, even beyond the good Odd Couple-esque performance by Jack Lemmon. Still, the constant barrage of mishaps, blunders and general misfortune still provides enough laughs to keep the film enjoyable throughout. Good.

Very good.

A comedy of frustrations with Lemmon and Dennis both delightful as a couple in well over their heads. Don't bother with the lousy remake.

I like it more every time I see it. I think you need to be over 45 to really, really like it.

A love-hate relationship with a city demonstrated by a resident is something of an in-joke and becomes increasingly hysterical and unsympathetic, but there are bright moments in this company.
