"I told you 158 times I can't stand little notes on my pillow. 'We're all out of cornflakes. F.U.' Took me three hours to figure out F.U. was Felix Ungar." (not really a) hot take, but the theme song absolutely slaps

The key to Neil Simon's huge success is to have placed at the center of his comedies the American middle class, with its frustrations, its neuroses and its frailties, through human typologies that anyone could easily identify with. That's why laughing at movies like The Odd…

Am I supposed to relate to both Felix and Oscar equally and simultaneously That bit where they’re on the double date and everyone’s just laughing uncomfortably was maybe the most relatable thing I have ever seen in a movie

i love these types of comedies so much. where every single character is dumb and unhinged and chaotic. the odd couple is like: walter matthau is GROSS and UNTIDY. jack lemmon is NEAT and CLEAN. and get this? get this.... they become ROOMMATES!!!!! and i absolutely lap it up…

Still and always lovely. Lemmon and Matthau made the world a better place, at least that's what they did with mine. Funny how you can miss people you've never known.

The Odd Couple

One of the funniest films I’ve ever seen. This film is a pure comedy classic that has aged beautifully. The fact that this film came out in 1968 is just baffling to me. The comedy was hilarious from beginning to end. The lines were delivered terrifically & the cast was great.

Seriously one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. I go back and watch this one probably at least once a year.
