Movie Reviews of Neil Simon's The Sunshine Boys

Movie Review: Sunshine Boys by Director Moonbeam
Summary: 1 Stars

Neil Simon is capable of some decent stuff--and then there's this dreck. Woody Allen and Peter Falk are two ageing members of a comedy duo, re-united by Falk's niece, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, who works as an agent. Others have commented on the "lack of chemistry" between Allen and Falk. I'm not sure how much of that is the actors' part; I think mostly this is a problem with the script and the directing. Falk's character is played as such a nasty old coot that nobody would want to be around him--and seems to be getting demented as well. Sarah Jessica Parker's excitement at getting the two together is hard to understand given that she's had to put up with her uncle for 10 years--the only reason she possibly could be doing it is for the money. Something rarely mentioned is Whoopie Goldberg has a cameo in this film, as a nurse, and she's a short breath of fresh air. Woody Allen's acting is typical Woody Allen. I like his acting, so his parts were sometimes mildly amusing. Overall this movie was like some peoples' lives: full of frustration alternating with boredom, and at the end, relief that it's finally over. Falk definitely got the worst end of this deal, with a character nobody can like.
