The Odd Couple is a film starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matheau and tells about two very different roommates who end up living there after Lemmon's character gets divorced from his wife. The film is meant to be a comedy but is not extremely funny. The main source of comedy seems to come from Lemmon and Matheau's interactions throughout the apartment. Lemmon though has the most humor as Felix, the health and cleaning nut. The supporting cast of the four poker buddies also add into the humor of the film a bit but mostly the film gets it from Lemmon. The final scenes seem to be quite touching and are very interesting in the sense that even though we see Oscar going crazy from Felix's antics. I give the film 3.5/5 stars.
