Movie Reviews of Out to SeaMovie Review: Side Splitting Laughter, Supreme Entertainment Summary: 5 Stars
This film is loads of fun and laughs for a wide audience, from middle school on up to adults of all ages. It begins at a race track where Walter Matthau is betting on horses ... he loses the first race. He stakes his money on a long shot and collects about $3,000.00. Then an Italian "loan shark" meets up with him and collects part of the $5,000 loan he gave Walter. Walter visits his pal, Jack Lemon, his brother-in-law, who is celebrating his wedding anniversary ... alone, while talking to a photo of his deceased wife. Walter goes to Jack's closet to borrow a suit and proposes how they can go on a Caribbean cruise ... without paying a dime.
Walter and Jack embark on a Caribbean cruise on the Holland America Ship, Westerdaam. They participatge in a "bon voyage" champagne party to meet some wealthy ladies ... Jack makes small talk with a lovely mature lady, the first who has caught his eye since his wife died. Meanwhile Walter eyes the wealthy ones ... Walter leads Jack to the upper class suites, where they plan to unpack that is ... until the cabin steward leads Dyan Cannon and her mother to the room. Both Walter Matthau and Jack Lemon go to their lower deck cabin. Later, they 'suit up' to become "dance hosts" which is how they earn their free cruise. They meet Brent Spiner, the ambitious Cruise Director, whose management style is 'total control' as he aims to influence Rue Mchalanahan (owner of the ship) to advance his career.
As luck would have it, Walter Matthau selects Rue as his dance partner, and shows her moves with his feet and hands like no other dance host on board ... the other dance hosts stare in awe and amazement, as the Cruise Director seithes with anger, while alter essentially paws his dance partner during dips and twirls. She is thrilled with the experience to the chagrin of the Cruise Director ... Walter manages to feign a foot injury, and gets into a card game with Wall Street businessmen. He wins a few hands of poker and receives an $18,000.00 check from the loser, impressing Dyan Cannon, who appears to be wealthy young woman but is a "gold digger" ... looking to find a "sugar daddy".
Afterwards, Walter separates Dyan away from the Wall Street mogul and he escorts her on a land tour in Mexico. The Cruise Director follows him, trying to prove he faked injury and thereby make him pay for the cruise, at double cost. The chase is on ... with marvelous scenes including a plane ride by the lady passengers, whom Walter and Jack are trying to win over. Needless to say, using clever ploys each man wins the lady of his dreams. Brent Spiner is tricked into "performing" in ways he never imagined, to influence Rue to select him for career advancement. Overall, this film is filled with unforgettable funny moments from beginning to end. There is superb acting by many well known male and female entertainers who engage in comedy routines and clever antics ... Most highly enjoyable. Erika Borsos (erikab93)
