Best movie of this year hands down!

I love this movie so much

One of my all time favorites.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

"Out to Sea" is the last of nine comedy films that Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau made together. The two Oscar winners and senior stars had given us some funny and entertaining films over the years. Besides their comedy, each had a distinguished film career that included dramas, action films and mystery-thrillers. Matthau lived just three more years and died July 1, 2000, at age 79. Lemmon would live just four more years, and died June 27, 2001, at age 76. In this 1997 film, the boys are in their usual form. They have slowed down some but still appear to be chipper. They are a couple of retired codgers. Lemmon plays Herb Sullivan and Matthau is Charlie Gordon. They are brothers-in-law. Charlie's never been married and Herb, who wed Charlie's sister, has been a widower for a year or so.This film has some prominent actors in supporting roles, and these add to the humor. Dyan Cannon, Gloria DeHaven, Elaine Stritch, Hal Linden and Donald O'Connor all are good for laughs. Brent Spiner plays the stars' nemesis. He's Gil Godwyn, cruise director.The plot is far-fetched, and that makes it even funnier. The cast seemed to be having a ball making this film. It isn't on the level of the earlier Lemmon-Matthau comedies, but it's still an entertaining film that's sure to arouse many laughs. It's a good adult film to enjoy, especially for middle aged and older folks. Few in younger audiences are apt to enjoy or appreciate old-fashioned humor, especially among the older set.Here are a couple samples of humor in the dialog. Gil, "No, you listen to me. I'm your worst nightmare. A song and dance man raised on a military base. Dismissed!" Herb, "I'll bet his father was cruise director on the Bismarck."Herb, to Charlie, "You're crazy. Years of insanity have made you crazy."

Another pretty decent film from comedic geniuses Lemmon, and Mathau,, not quite as good as their earlier work but still very entertaining,, this film has them getting on board ,, albeit under false pretenses as dance instructors. well neither one of them really know how to dance all that well,, one of them men falls for Dyan Cannon, who still looks pretty darn good for her age. the other falls for Gloria De Haven also pretty good looking I might add. along the way there are lot's of laughs, great one liners, as they have to figure out how to pull of being dance instructors. These two actors especially when paired together never cease to amaze me how good they are at their craft,, Both of them will be dearly missed.

Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon (both looking winded) find themselves on the run, eventually hiding out on a cruise-ship under the guise of dance escorts for ballroom broads. Perhaps a decade ago, this may have been a great opportunity for the two leads to mine big laughs from a highly-contrived scenario, but here they're just too old to make the material sail. Matthau, in particular, doesn't seem as mobile, and Lemmon has to work overtime to make up for the obvious lethargy (not successful for a comedy). Dyan Cannon (doing an Ann-Margret) is sprightly, and familiar TV faces--plus a tap-dancing Donald O'Connor!--show up in small roles, however it is Brent Spiner as a wormy entertainment coordinator who steals the show. ** from ****

Once again, Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau team up as a pair of elderly grouches. "Out to Sea" is basically "The Odd Couple" and "Grumpy Old Men" set on a cruise ship, with the two guys trying to meet and defraud old widows. I personally think that they could have done without all the romance stuff and just had JL and WM get on each other's nerves. But don't get me wrong, there are some great lines (namely the one about shark-infested waters). Also starring Dyan Cannon, Gloria DeHaven, Brent Spiner, Elaine Stritch, Hal Linden and Donald O'Connor (in his final role).Oh, and in case Dyan Cannon is reading this: STOP GETTING FACELIFTS!!!!!!!!!!! YOU LOOK TERRIBLE WHEN YOU DO THAT!!!!!!!
