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

 Out of Towners DVD with Jack Lemmon October 9, 2008
Madeline (MASSACHUSETTS)
Haven't seen it since I was a kid. What a fun movie. Couldn't believe it was rated G. My husband and I laughed a lot, refreshing to see what the movies were like in the 70's. Hollywood ought to take a good look!

This is Jack Lemmon's tour de force. The chemistry between He and Sandy Dennis is wonderful. Well written, directed, acted. Plus a score from Quincy Jones, who could ask for more? 5 stars!! *****

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 and the story is well written, but be prepared to watch a couple, have things go wrong on a trip and just keep getting worse......well at least it has a happy ending! :-) It is a comedy! The DVD has an excellent transfer, but no extras.
