Love this DVD packed with laughter one of best comedies

Set in New York, the film follows two friends. Felix (Jack Lemmon) is a writer for a news network but has a broken heart as he’s going through the early stages of divorce. His friend, Oscar (Walter Matthau), is a talented sports journalist. These two men, who live very differently, are both about to have their lives changed forever. At the film’s start, we learn that Felix is not coping very well with the news of the separation from his wife. Felix tries multiple times to kill himself, believing there’s no way to move forward with life. It’s not long until his good friends, including Oscar, hear about Felix’s marriage and learn how hard Felix is taking the news. When Felix turns up to a poker match between friends, his friends pretend they are unaware of Felix’s news to try and not put him in a worse state. But when Felix tries to take his life again, Oscar wants to help him, and he makes a massive life choice by inviting Felix to move in with him. The only problem is that while Oscar and Felix are close friends, they are very different! Oscar lives like a messy pig and enjoys having a home filled with mess, going out for dinner and spending lots of money. On the other hand, Felix enjoys cooking a home meals and is a huge cleaning fanatic. Soon Felix cleans Oscar’s whole apartment and makes even more changes around the place. While this might seem like a blessing at first for Oscar, these changes start to become an irritation. For those who are not aware, The Odd Couple is based on a famous stage play written by Neil Simon. Watching this film, I’m pleased to report the vibes of watching a stage play are still evident on the big screen. It’s dialogue-heavy, and something exciting is always happening among the leads. The comic timing and line delivery from Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau earns a standing ovation. I truly loved seeing the comedy duo in this film. Not only are the pair funny to watch as they discover each other’s strange quirks, but they’re also highly believable as best friends. Having seen this film and their chemistry, it’s no wonder the actors would join up again for multiple films in due time. Overall, this is an amazing film with witty dialogue that feels real. At no point was I ever bored while viewing. It’s filled with wonderful performances from Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. I adored witnessing their chemistry, their funny line deliveries and dramatic moments as they bring a strong friendship to life and as the credits rolled, I was ready to rewatch it instantly. * This review has been written for Sanity.
