Amazon.com essential video:
Neil Simon's terribly funny play about roommates Oscar the slob and Felix the neurotic was first committed to film in this 1968 production, directed by Gene Saks (Barefoot in the Park). Perfectly timed, ingeniously rendered, not a hair out of place in the history-making performances of Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon (or the great support cast), The Odd Couple is a movie that one just has to see every two or three years to stay happy. The poker-game sequence in which Oscar's cronies seem to be falling under the sway of fussy Felix's talent for making sandwiches is priceless. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - " WE'RE OUT OF CORNFLAKES! .....F. U. ! "
The original film that inspired the hit TV show is still a very funny and smart comedy! I had not seen this movie in many years and I found myself laughing out loud through out this exceptional film. A rare mix of comedy and an insightful look at the many layers that makes us all human! Lemmon and Matthau are perfectly cast in this classic as the two polar opposite buddies who end up sharing an apartment.

Rating:  - The Odd Couple
This is one funny movie! Neil Simon did the screenplay based on his script of the same name for Broadway. Neil Simon had the Midas touch, everything he did turned to gold. Neil Simon was one of the most successful of Broadway playwrights & he managed to do the same for Hollywood.
The Odd Couple are Jack Lemmon & Walter Matthau. This was their first teaming, later teamings included The Grumpy Old Men movies. Lemmon portrays Felix Ungar & Matthau portrays Oscar Madison. They're ... Read More
Rating: - THE SCRPT IS THE STAR - FUNNIEST MOVIE EVER
I've watched this movie over a dozen times, and it actually gets funnier the more times I view it - especially with friends and family. Though the classic comedy pairing of Lemmon and Matthau give an exceptional performance, the star of this picture is the script. Originally a stage play, the "odd couple" were in fact based on an "odd trio" of divorcees living with Neil Simon's brother. Amalgamated into two people we have Oscar Madison and Felix Ungar, two completely opposite personalities. Fastidious ... Read More
Rating: - Friendship With A Few Laughs
I just adored the original "Odd Couple". I have seen both tv and movie versions and am most enamored of this movie version. Not that I have anything against Jack Klugman (Oscar - tv version) and Tony Randell (Felix - tv version) who are phenomenal actors.
The movie version is basically the premise to the tv show. Felix Unger (played by Jack Lemmon) has just been thrown out of his house where his wife declares him a neurotic nut. He wanders the streets at night and attempts to commit suicide. ... Read More
