The movie itself is a bit lackluster (clever dialogue, but it really goes on and on and on...).

It's generally an appealing and witty film because the leads are outstanding as cranks.

Aging comics sparkle, swear, and spar in Neil Simon farce.

Matthau delivers one of the great comedic performances, and Simon feeds him one killer quip after another.

The Sunshine Boys is an extremely sensitive and lovable film version of Neil Simon's play, with Walter Matthau and George Burns outstanding in their starring roles as a pair of long-hostile vaudeville partners.

Great chemistry between the two great comic leads and some pretty decent one-liners but this doesn't manage to hold together as a feature-length concept.

Herbert Ross' version of Neil Simon's Broadway production is still a play--verbose and repetitious at that--but it's well acted by Walter Matthau and George Burns (who won an Oscar) as the two cranky vet vaudevillians.

Neil Simon's most irritating play is no less agonizing on the screen under Herbert Ross's sycophantic direction.

Mr. Matthau is so good playing old men, we may never know when he finally becomes one.
