The Odd Couple 2 - 1998 * * *


They haven't changed.
There was a lot to laugh about in this movie, and Jack Lemmon, although suitably aged is still able to crack some jokes. Walter Matthau is still as dry as ever and funny, but the pair seem to be past their most comedic times. This time around the pair are thrown together at the announcement of Matthau's son and Lemmon's daughter and make the long road trip to be at the wedding. However not before they come across some hilarious obstacles. Although a lot of the humour was forced there were still some bits that made me chuckle but it was really nothing compared to the original that had me in hysterics. In fact if I'm honest I think this version should never have been made because it almost seems to spoil what was a perfect original comedy.
