Neil Simon is a brilliant screenwriter, and Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon are the perfect team to bring it to life. In "The Odd Couple II" Oscar and Felix are reunited for a wedding after 17 years of silence. Unfortunately for them, everything goes wrong during their trip. While trying to get to their kids' wedding, they get arrested three times, attempt to hit on two younger women, and take a ride from an old man who dies a short way into the trip!
I have read all the complaints of juvenile humor and inappropriate dialogue, but in my opinion, this is still a funny movie, and a beautiful tale of friendship between two clashing personalities. And, as a history piece, this is worth watching because it was Matthau's and Lemmon's last film together.
If you liked the first "Odd Couple" movie and the TV series, you will enjoy this sequel.

30 years after the original 2 of the greatest comedy duo's re-unite once again for another sequel. I haven't reviewed the 1st Odd Couple but I give that 5 stars also. The reason i'm reviewing this one is because it's a sequel, and normally sequels aren't very good but in this case I enjoyed it just as much as the first. Neil Simon did a great job with this script and again Lemmon & Matthau had lightning in a bottle and are brilliant in every movie they had made together. I found watching this film Lemmon & Matthau still maintained thier characters qualities quite firmly as they did 30 years prior and strongly kept thier chemistry in tact. This is a must see for not only Odd Couple fans but for Lemmon & Matthau fans, you will get a lot of laughs from this film.

I love the first one and I love this one just as much. If you have never seen this movie and you love to laugh, buy this and you will.

No matter how many times I watch this movie and already know what's coming - I crack up laughing. These guys are at their best as they grumble and complain from one scrape to another while they work their way cross country to a wedding of their children. I think this is the best one Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon have done together.
