Review
To begin with, this is an interesting film, with a cast full of people I hadn't reviewed ever before (or watched for that matter) And....it works. The film after 37 years still holds up as a fun filled riot. Matthau and Burns work out well, acting like....well, a former comedy duo, which given the film, works. The film holds on steady grounds, having some long stretches that do hold your attention as the film goes on. This is a film I have no regrets of watching, which is always a good thing. Countdown to 250: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6...
Overall, I give it 9 out of 10 stars.
