Out to Sea (1997)
7/10
Cute, funny, and simple
16 December 2018
If you liked The Odd Couple and Grumpy Old Men, you're going to want to rent Out to Sea. Really, that means everyone will rent this comedy, because who didn't like the previous pairings of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau?

In this one, brothers-in-law get trapped on a cruise and have to pretend to be dance teachers, even though they don't have any talent in that department. Of course, there are tons of near-misses as they flounder through and try not to get kicked off the boat, and of course, there are tons of colorful characters to fill out the simple plot. Even if you're not drawn in by the dynamic duo, you'll be tempted to rent this one for the supporting cast: Dyan Cannon, Brent Spiner, Elaine Stritch, and the final film appearances of Donald O'Connor and Gloria DeHaven. Don't worry, folks. Gloria is one of the beautiful love interests, and Donald looks exactly the same as he did when he was a teenager-and he even shows he can still dance!

You've got to expect that the movie's going to get a little silly, but it's pretty cute. There's romance, dancing, Odd Couple-esque banter, and tons of humor. Fans of "old foks still got it" movies will probably really like this one.
