Sunshine Boys movie review dampens Simon wit
The Sunshine Boys stars Burns and Matthau as aging vaudeville duo Al Lewis and Willy Clark. Richard Benjamin joins to reunite them for a TV special, but Neil Simon’s script fails to sustain laughs or depth. Performances shine in spots while the film’s joke machinery undercuts potential realism. Popcorn is excellent, but humor drifts.
