Review of The Sunshine Boys

"The drizzling boys" would have been more like it.Obnoxious Willy Clark (Jackie Mason he ain't) played by Mr P.Falk,and neurotic Jack Lewis(Woody Allen he ain't - oh my God he IS Woody Allen)are a former comic partnership who couldn't stand each other but are considering re - uniting for a movie. Take my advice - don't go to see it. Two more miserable less likable characters it would be hard to find. Clark lives in a filthy hotel suite,Lewis with his daughter in some comfort. Their reunion does not go well. Mr Falk offers a caricature of every third - rate Jewish comedian who ever spent a season in the Adirondacks.Mr Allen offers a caricature of himself caricaturing every third - rate Jewish comedian who ever spent a season in the Adirondacks. The movie is dull,dull,dull.The performances are appalling. I have yet to figure out why messrs Falk and Allen got involved in it. Not for the money,surely?
