    The classic comedy pairing of Matthau and Lemmon is fantastic, I love this film. Supporting cast are fantastic too!

    funny and twisted. makes you laugh and grimace. jack lemmon plays a neurotic type with a bit of o.c.d and a huge case of being a big girls blouse while matthau plays an every-guy. it's unusual watching but worth it

    The story of Felix and Oscar...

    Oscar and his buddies Speed, Roy, Vinnie, and Murray the cop are playing poker and discussing their friend, Felix Unger, who is unusually late to the game. Murray's wife calls and tells him that Felix...( read more) and his wife have split up. As they are discussing what to do, and worried that Felix might try to commit suicide, Felix arrives not knowing that his friends already know that his wife has kicked him out of the house.

    Felix had spent most of the night wandering around, going to a bar to get drunk (he pinches his neck trying to down a drink), and then trying to commit suicide by throwing himself out of a hotel window (he throws out his back trying to open the window)....

    Felix eventually breaks down crying and his friends try to console him. Oscar then suggests that Felix move in with him, since Oscar has lived alone since he split up with his own wife, several months earlier. Felix agrees, and urges Oscar to not be shy about letting him know if he gets on Oscar's nerves...

    Within a week, Oscar is going nuts. Felix is a neurotic, obsessive-compulsive nut, who runs around the apartment cleaning and picking up after Oscar, and berating him for being such a slob...

    It could only go one way from here on out lol...and it was hilarious every step of the way, Lemmon and Matthau were great together...a fantastically odd couple...

    One of the few cases where the resulting TV show was better than the movie. Interesting that Jack Lemmon co-starred with Jack Klugman in "Days of Wine and Roses" and later Jack Klugman would star in the TV show based on this movie.

    The pairing of Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon is always a good one, they work so well together. Great fun, extremely well written, better than most of Neil Simon's work. Very much a classic.
