Wonderful film pairing the great Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon as feuding neighbors who really both have so much in common.

The feud intensifies with the coming of widowed neighbor-Ann Margret to the neighborhood. Both our old friends go after her.

Daryl Hannah is along for the ride. As Lemmon's separated from her husband's father, she portrays an interesting character. Along for the laughs in Lemmon's father, portrayed with great wit by Burgess Meredith.

Naturally, we have the crisis situation that brings the two elderly gentlemen together. If you think you're in for a funeral at the end, guess again. It's a great ending to an endearing film. Matthau and Lemmon had such great on screen chemistry together. This film is no exception.
