Movie Reviews of House Calls
Movie Review: Wonderful, wonderful.
Summary: 5 Stars
Roger Ebert once commented that Michael Caine never gives a bad performance. Neither does Gene Hackman and neither does Walter Matthau. This is one of his best. Medical humor always seems to work. Here it soars, with the help of Glenda Jackson, Richard Benjamin, and--in one of his most hilarious roles--Art Carney. The subplots are also well done. There's even a brief appearance by Matthau's real-life son.
This is the sort of movie you can watch again and again and the underlying story is sweet and loving, not cruel like The Odd Couple or long in the tooth like Grumpy Old Men. This is Matthau at the top of his rumpled powers, playing a skilled surgeon with notable human failings ripe for redemption.
Movie Review: Love Never Dies
Summary: 5 Stars
Walter Matthau is back in this top notch comedy about a middleaged widower who begins dating again; as to be expected, this middleaged casanova leaps from one relationship to another until he meets Ann, played by Glenda Jackson, a recent divorcee. The two then end up on a romantice rollercoaster ride that ends up to be an expose of the dating game. Art Carney adds his own brand of humor to this comedy of errors as he portrays an aging chief of surgery stumbling toward retirement. A thoroughly enjoyable trip through middleaged love.
Movie Review: House Calls
Summary: 5 Stars
Delightful romantic comedy benefits from a top-notch script (by Max Shulman and Julius Epstein-co-writer of "Casablanca"!), and the unexpected chemistry between lovable schlump Matthau and starchy Jackson, who are both fabulous. Affirming once again that true love will triumph over casual sex, "Calls" is a charming, clever romance, with plenty of laughs and heart. Matthau fans should flock to this.

Excellent and very funny movie. Highly recommended if you loved Walter Mathau like I did. My favorite movie of his was A New Leaf with Elaine May-they were both brilliant in their parts. I got a copy of A New Leaf from an English company that probably pirates them. But this one, along with many others, are wonderful.Movie Review: DVD20080223-2
Summary: 5 Stars
Another enjoyable comedy. I think that Genda Jackson and Walter Mathou are a very good comedy team; they work well together. This is another movie that is rarely seen on any of the movie channels which is unfortnate. They seem intent on showing the junk that's cheap instead of that which is good entertainment.
