The Odd Couple (1968)

Jack Lemmon and Walter Mathau made over 10 movies together. They are actually buried next to each other. I like to picture them doing stand up comedy in heaven right now. Those two just gel together in a movie. This is a great comedy- 3.5 stars. I laughed through it, my wife thought it was lame. The premise is that Lemmon plays a character that is so neurotic and OCD that his wife kicks him out of the home. He attempts to take his own life, and so his friend (Mathau) feels bad for him and lets him move into his elaborate 8 room bachelor pad. Mathau regrets that decision when he soon reliazes that Lemmon is more of a picky housewife than any woman could ever be.
