"Out to Sea" was a vehicle for Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, a team of comedy actors that excelled in their different movies. This film seems to have been made after the success of "Grumpy Old Men", and it involves a cruise where the men will be involved in funny situations since they have been hired as male escorts to entertain the single women of a certain age that are attracted to this type of vacation.
Martha Coolidge, the director, doesn't bring anything new to the picture. It's a formula movie, and as such, we know where it's going at all times. The best thing in the film is Brent Spinner, who is the cruise entertainment director, the man in charge of Herb and Charlie. This man, who loves to sing, supervises his domain with an iron fist and gets funny results.
Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau could do their Herb and Charlie well, as they proved in the many films they appeared together. Both actors have some good moments in the film. Dyan Cannon, Elaine Strich, and the lovely Gloria DeHaven, are good to see in any movie. Others in the cast include Rue McClanahan, Donnald O'Connor, Hal Linden, among others.
Let's remember Mr. Lemmon and Mr. Matthau for other, better made movies than this one.
