Buddy Buddy
Added 12/12/2007
This is a Lemmon-Matthau classic. This rates equal if not better the the grumpy old men flicks. Jack Lemmon is one of the best actors of all time and Matthau is superb as well. I can't understand how this is not available on DVD.

Really funny!!
Added 6/16/2006
This is one of my favorite Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau movies. It is up there with the Fortune Cookie and other great ones.
Sadly this movie was never released in DVD. It needs to be.
Walter has really acted brilliantly here as a crusty professional assassin who keeps getting fouled up by the incompetent suicide attempter (Jack Lemmon).

Wilder's Unfunny Farewell
Added 3/30/2006
Do not get the impression that "Buddy Buddy" (1981) is a lost masterpiece. Considering the talent involved, it's a painfully unfunny farce that died a quick death at the box office. Sadly, this was the great Billy Wilder's last film. Better to honor his memory with a screening of "The Apartment" or "Some Like It Hot."

Great Lemmon and Matthau flick
Added 1/3/2006
With all the junk that comes out weekly on DVD, you would think that a comic masterpiece with Jack and Walther would be out and in the stores by now. Matthau is brilliant as a hitman, very funny.

DVD Now!!!!!!!
Added 10/26/2005
I can't believe some of the crap film companies are releasing on DVD while Buddy Buddy isn't available on DVD format yet (even worse: this film is out of stock on VHS!!!!!!)
Do it at least as a Jack Lemmon tribute, for crying out loud!!!!!
