After the movie Description here on Amazon, the film in German cinemas must be almost been a flop yes. As the? I was there! And I have recommended the movie to anyone who wanted to hear it. Because he's really funny: Walter Matthau and Jack Lemon, mutually Even as Felix and Oscar went to the nerves (probably as the successor to the originals, whose name I have forgotten, but whose faces I see before me) are here again delicious stubborn Grantler that make into forever feindschaftlicher friendship as neighbors each other's lives difficult. Then comes a woman in the life of both dies, a friend, the old father of Jack Lemon - as it was still, he dies? Or not? No matter. In any event, the duo of at least two fatalities (woman and death), and if I remember correctly, even by a third strike (not a heart attack suffered by Walter Matthau) then again welded together. It's a long time since I've seen the movie. I unfortunately do not remember the end. But I remember that I laughed tears. Especially the scene when ice fishing has remained in my memory. What was there yet? Oh, never mind, it was weird. The solicitation of the two old men around the beautiful woman mourning for the dead friend who has everything something Rührseeliges that I find again exaggerated. Typically American just. However, it is still rather pardonable scope and can not slip into kitsch the film. Kitsch would also not fit to the two leads. They are more for pithy, often brutish, but sometimes subtle humor which distinguishes this film from start to finish. Were Walter Matthau not unfortunately died, I would want a sequel to this film.
