    Walter Matthau gives a brilliant performance, and Jack Lemmon's sensitive direction makes this film a winner. It's a touching story and very well written. It's too bad Jack Lemmon didn't direct any other movies, he did such a terrific job here.

    Not as good as people make it out to be.

    Didn't pass my 10 minute rule, even though I think I gave it a bit longer. The problem is that they were trying too hard. Also trying to be funny/cute and depressing at the same time. That sometimes works, but it wasn't working in the movie. The chemistry was just off.
