Amazon.com:
Arthur Hiller (Love Story) directed the film adaptation of Neil Simon's curious comedy about a pair of non-New Yorkers (Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis) having a hellish visit to the Big Apple on the eve of a job interview for Lemmon's character. Made in 1970, this hectic film almost seems ahead of its time when compared to more recent misery-piled-on-misery comedies such as Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. The couple in this film endure everything that can go wrong on a trip, including being forced to spend the night in a mugger-happy Central Park. The strange element in Simon's script, though, is that Lemmon's character is so unpleasant. A middle-class, uptight guy who can't believe that New Yorkers in the service profession don't perform their jobs slavishly, he's kind of a one-note joke that quickly wears thin. Remade with Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - LEMMON & DENNIS ARE GREAT IN THIS STRANGE COMEDY!
I had seen this film many years ago, so I had an idea of what to expect in this strange comedy film. The premise of a couple Lemmon & Dennis)leaving Ohio and going to New York for Lemmon's job interview is funny, but it can also irritate as we have all had some of these things happen to us and we all know ......it's not funny! Of course, Lemmon can make just about anything funny, so it is a good movie, it really depends on what kind of day you had when you watch it!
The cast is good ... Read More
Rating:  - murphey's law
This movie is hillarious. They get into one spot after another. I haven't laughed this much in a long time. Great pick me up.
Rating: - "I'm suing 'em all. I don't care if I'm in court all year."
If you think you've had a nightmare holiday, spare a thought for George and Gwen Kellerman (as played by Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis) in THE OUT-OF-TOWNERS, written by Neil Simon!
George Kellerman (Lemmon) desperate to impress when he gets an important job interview in New York, leaves comfortable Ohio with his wife Gwen (Dennis) in tow, for a weekend of luxury in the big city... Pretty soon, everything goes pear-shaped, as the Kellermans find themselves in the middle of a New York transit ... Read More
Rating: - Hilarious!
If you like comedies where you can relate to the experiences shown, you will love this one! Far, far superior to the more recent remake, the performances of Jack Lemon and Sandy Dennis are unbeatable. The couple starts out on what should be a minor business trip to New York and encounter a series of snafus that continue to rachet up on the comedic scale. For those whose taste runs higher than all the toilet humor of the last 20 or so years, this is not to be missed. Even my teenage boys enjoyed this.
Rating:  - Dated, irritating, and just not funny
I generally like Neil Simon's work, but this is a disaster. Then again, maybe it's not Simon's screenplay, but the acting and directing. Jack Lemmon was a hugely talented actor, but his character here is unnecessarily obnoxious and irritating beyond belief. His wife, portrayed by Sandy Dennis, is a high-maintenance nasal voiced annoyance. Although I'm not familiar with Dennis' full career body of work, at least in this film, she can't seem to act her way out of a paper bag.
The story is a series ... Read More
