Product Description:
Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are reunited in this hysterically funny high seas romantic adventure. Gambler and con artist Charlie (Walter Matthau) is desperate to meet single, rich ladies with large bank accounts. When he persuades his lonely widower brother-in-law, Herb (Jack Lemmon), into accompanying him on a pleasure cruise, he neglects to mention that they will be working as dance hosts and masquerading as wealthy bachelors. Much to Herb's chagrin, their accommodations are in the bowels of the high-class ship, and they are forced to work for hilariously tyrannical cruise director Gil Godwyn (Brent Spiner). Herb dutifully dances his way into the heart of a lonely widower, Vivian (Gloria De Haven), pretending he is a doctor while Charlie cons high-stakes gamblers and sets his sights on a much younger oil tycoon, Liz (Dyan Cannon). As Charlie and Herb struggle to keep their real identities a secret, their romances blossom until the truth is revealed and they must act fast to save their newly discovered loves.

This is a great movie. It's always good seeing Jack Lemmon as Herb Sullivan and Walter Matthau as Charlie Gordon together and this one is full of laughs. Jack portrays a widower and his unique self depreciating style makes him very believable. Walter, just like his "Oscar Madison" character, is always conniving, trying to make money. It really is almost a spin-off of the "Odd Couple" as to how they both interact. Instead of the "Pigeon Sisters" this time we have Gloria DeHaven who was a perfect choice for Herb's romantic interest. Dyan Cannon looks like she's having a blast as she's torn between Charlie or Edward Mulhare as Cullen Carswell.
The music is great. "Commander Data", Brent Spiner, is a good choice for the "cruise die-wreck-tor, his pronunciation. Rue McClanahan plays the very concerned for the passengers owner of the ship.
There is a lot of good dancing too! Donald O'Connor and Elaine Stritch really tear up the ballroom floor. Hal Linden and Donald O'Connor also make a great team and always have some not so kind words to say about Gil.
Enjoy the show.

Not quite the quality of "Grumpy Old Men" and "Grumpier Old Men" this Lemmon/Matthau film is still worth seeing. Elaine Stritch, Rue McClanahan, Donald O'Connor, Dyan Cannon, Hal Linden and Edward Mulhare are all great in their supporting roles. Try it---I think you'll enjoy it!
