I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Review: I enjoyed the banter between Falk &  Allen, which Falk dominated, and I liked the chemistry between the 2 characters. Watching them grow old together was sweat and funny in parts and it was good to see another side to Falk who everyone knows as Colombo. You can tell that the film was adapted from a play because it's mostly based around conversations between the 2 comics who are trying to get along so they can make a movie. It didn't get a major release, like the Matthau and Burns version, because it was made for TV but it's a watchable movie with fast jokes and clever wit. Watchable!Round-Up: After all of the Colombo reruns around the world, Peter Falk is definitely a household name. Famous for his trench coat and cigar, it's hard to watch him without thinking of him cracking some crime is his unique way. In this film he stands toe to toe with Woody Allen and he proves that in his later years, he still could pull off a great performance. Woody Allen was pretty toned down but he still pulled out some funny lines which were well written by Neil Simon. It's not as good as the Mathhau/Burns version, but it's worth a watch, just to compare to two.I recommend this movie to people who are into there comedies about 2 old school comedians with a rocky relationship, who join up to make a movie. 5/10

This movie is one of the funniest movies I have ever watched. And I have seen my fair share of comedies, from Dom Deloiuse's work to Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, and Rodney Dangerfield. I don't understand why it is so underrated. Peter Faulk is absolutely historical and Woody Allen plays an excellent straight man. This movie had me on the floor laughing. I would suggest this movie to anyone that wanted to get a good laugh. I admit that I have not seen the original Sunshine boys so I hope all of the other users are right that the original was better because that movie would have to be the funniest movie ever made if it were any funnier than this version...

This is a made-for -TV film of the Neil Simon comedy, better known in the Walter Matthau and George Burns version. Peter Falk and Woody Allen play two grumpy old comedians who get back together after many years of mutual hatred.Woody Allen understates his performance in the George Burns role and his character is pleasingly different from his normal screen persona. Unfortunately Peter Falk's performance is so mannered that it renders the film virtually unwatchable

Fairly funny film dealing with a pair of out of style showmen who simply can't get along. This picture shows how a young man with a rotten attitude grows old to become even more detestable...a contemptible, useless bore. Not a bad comedy, but I have seen much better. The performances seemed a tad forced to me, however, I may have merely objected to the dialogue: Neil Simon not being one of my favorite writers.
