Entertainment Reviews:
The Sunshine Boys is an extremely sensitive and lovable film version of Neil Simon's play, with Walter Matthau and George Burns outstanding in their starring roles as a pair of long-hostile vaudeville partners.

Aging comics sparkle, swear, and spar in Neil Simon farce.

Rating: B --
It's generally an appealing and witty film because the leads are outstanding as cranks.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Ross directs indulgently and no one seems to have noticed the sound of the voices, as though the participants had their hearing aids switched off.

Neil Simon's most irritating play is no less agonizing on the screen under Herbert Ross's sycophantic direction.

Mr. Matthau is so good playing old men, we may never know when he finally becomes one.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Walter Matthau and George Burns star in this outstanding Neil Simon comedy about a long-since-broken-up vaudeville comedy team named Lewis & Clark who are persuaded to reteam for a television special. However, these two cantankerous curmudgeons can't stand each other anymore, and their mutual crankiness produces both hilarious and heartwarming moments.
