The Sunshine Boys (1975)
Member Rating:  
In this 1975 adaptation of Neil Simon's stage play, director Herbert Ross presents the story of two old-time Vaudvillians played by Walter Matthau and George Burns in his first starring role since 1939's Honolulu. After decades apart, the cantankerous duo is persuaded to reunite for a television special despite the fact that they hate each other. Richard Benjamin co-stars as Matthau's nephew, who has the responsibility of making sure the comedians go through with the show and don't kill each other in the process. Nominated for four Academy Awards, Burns took home the statue for Best Supporting Actor. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Great to see Burns and Matthau, again. Burns won the Academy Award for the 1975 flick as Best Supporting Actor but I thought Matthau did the superior job. But both were great. The Special Feature, "The Lion Roars Again" was worth seeing this DVD all by itself. MGM promo with Kelly, Astaire, many more. And, George Burns singing a funny little song.

Comedy? Only if you haven't watched anyone close to you change from vibrant and engaging to someone who doesn't remember what was said 30 seconds earlier. Though I appreciated seeing Burns and Matthau, and I enjoyed the scene of their rehearsal, most of the movie was just painful.
