Movie Reviews of The Sunshine Boys
Movie Review: THE NOT TOO FUNNY BOYS
Summary: 1 Stars
WE WERE TRULY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS MOVIE--TOO MUCH SCREAMING AND UNHAPPINESS. WE DID NOT ENJOY THIS MOVIE--IN FACT I GAVE IT AWAY ALREADY. NOW WE ENJOY GEORGE BURNS AND WALTER MATTHAU BUT THIS WAS BENEATH THEIR ABILITY.
Summary of The Sunshine Boys
Two feuding former vaudville performers are convinced to reunite for a TV special. George Burns won an Academy Award for best supporting actor.Running Time: 111 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY UPC:?012569590229Neil Simon's Broadway hit about an effort to reunite a pair of aged vaudevillians for a TV special is both funny and poignant, thanks to the inspired casting of Walter Matthau (perhaps the consummate Simon actor) and George Burns (who kicked off something of a career comeback with this Oscar-winning role). They play a former comedy team who split up years ago over disagreements about how the act should be performed and, more importantly, over their conflicting views about the importance of show business versus that of life. Matthau is hilarious, sometimes touchingly so, while Burns remains a master of comic economy. Richard Benjamin is also good as Matthau's nephew who brings them back together. This was remade for television with Peter Falk and Woody Allen. --Marshall Fine
Based on Neil Simon's popular Broadway play, this 1975 film directed by Herbert Ross (The Turning Point, Footloose) pairs the legendary comic talents of Walter Matthau and George Burns as two old-time vaudevillians who could never stand the sight of each other. The two curmudgeons are roped into appearing on a television reunion special, and they find themselves rehashing the same arguments they had 50 years earlier. Burns came out of retirement for this role and won an Oscar for his work as the laconic half of the duo, while Matthau shines as the ham-handed antagonistic egomaniac. One of Neil Simon's snappiest creations has been energetically brought to life in this enjoyable comedy, and it's a rare opportunity to see two legends in finest form. --Robert Lane
