Plot: Howard Deutch directed this sequel to the The Odd Couple (1968), originally adapted from the 1965 Broadway comedy by Neil Simon. Thirty years later, Felix Ungar (Jack Lemmon) and retired sportswriter Oscar Madison (Walter Matthau) meet at LAX and drive a rental car across the desert to attend the wedding of Oscar's son Brucey (Jonathan Silverman) to Felix's daughter Hannah (Lisa Waltz), but a breakdown leaves them stranded at some distance from the main highways where they are sprayed by a cropduster and hang out with two flirtatious women (Christine Baranski, Jean Smart) in a small-town bar before getting a lift from slow-driving elderly Beaumont (Barnard Hughes), eventually arriving at the wedding. Composer Alan Silvestri brings in Neal Hefti's original theme from the 1968 film, music also featured in ABC's 1970-75 TV series with Tony Randall and Jack Klugman. Another Odd Couple sequel is the TV movie The Odd Couple: Together Again (CBS, 1993, repeated July 1997), starring Randall and Klugman; it also involved the wedding of Felix's daughter. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Hilarious! "I'm having the g-damnedest case of deja vu!"

Anyone who digged the original will love this remake. Sure, it doesn't cover all the bases with the exact same zip and vigor like the first, but it's not that far off. The key to the movie is that it's mostly just Walter and Jack bantering
with their zany exchanges. Thankfully, the movie didn't get hung up in plot or other characters. Neil Simon is highly funny once again, and anyone that loves Matthau has to see his delivery deliver once again in this movie. Too bad these two old birds finally flew the coup. Rest in peace gentlemen. Thumbs up!!

Neil Simon + Lemmon + Matthau = Killer Comedy!

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.
