and laugh out loud funny in many scenes.

The movie's basic plot is well chronicled, a story of opposites trying to find a way to survive each other in close proximity.

This is unquestionably Lemmon and Matheau's best film as co-stars, and the interaction between the sloppy Oscar and the OCD Felix are classic.

The scene where Oscar lines up a double date, leaves the room briefly, and comes back to find Felix and the two girls all crying is pricelessly funny.

For any fan of intelligent comedies, The Odd Couple is a "go out of your way to see it" film.
