Trivia:
The sixth pairing out of ten movies of comic actors and great friends Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: The IRS at the time of the movie didn't audit a year if it was over ten years old. In the movie they said he collected for 20 years and eleven of those 20 were not claimed properly. That is past the ten year mark. He had not been collected for probably a number of years so, those years would not have been audited and they wouldn't be entitled to anything. more

Max Goldman: Do me a favor. Put your lip over your head... and swallow. more

Classic Matthau and Lemmon, 14 January 2005
9/10
Author: au_law2001 from Philippines

This is an instant classic and a very recognizable film of the two, that if you ask someone about them, they will always mention this. A grreat and memorable role of the two, and and very hilarious, you'll want to see it again. They are a bunch of bumbling and feuding neighbors, who are in love with the same woman. Every scene with them in this one is unforgettable and outrageously funny. Especially the scenes with Matthau, with the fishing pole that sinks into the ice, he screams loud. An unforgettable scream and very funny too. He does the same when Ann Margaret drops the big fish before he can get a shot of it, and again when he discovers the dried fish that Jack Lemmon put in his car without him noticing it, and I like his line there, "ya shmuck!" That was funny. Boy those two are really funny, but at the same time they know how to make dramatic scenes that are almost teary, and sometimes serious and heart-warming ones, but they still become funny at the end and seem to keep it like that. Recommended to all fans of the two.
