A bunch of people who were at the wrong end of middle age even in the 70s have been resurrected for one last hoorah and, surprisingly, it's a serious work and not some straight-to-DVD quick cash-grab.
The plot is a little flimsy. Apparently in the time before vetting and interviewing, two geriatrics are given jobs as dance hosts on a cruise liner, complete with free passage and spiffy uniforms. One can't dance and the other doesn't really want to be there.
Some may find the repetitiveness of the characters of the main duo grating. Matthau and Lemmon are still funny in their stereotypical roles, with Matthau playing a freewheeling scoundrel and Lemmon playing his signature forlorn old man looking for true love. If you've been following the career of these two, you know the duo and you know what you're going to get yourself into here. Up to you whether you want to see Odd Couple 15: Cruise Line.
