Old stagers Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon cruise through this unaccountably popular sequel to an equally moribund original, presumably on their way to another fat pay-cheque. Ann-Margret also returns from the first film, while Sophia Loren turns up as a much-married interloper who stirs up the boys' bile by buying their beloved bait shop and turning it into a restaurant. The grumpy pair forget their incessant feuding to wage war on the restaurant, but resourceful Loren outwits them before kindling a little love in Matthau's heart. Lemmon and Matthau teamed up again two years later for a belated sequel to The Odd Couple.

A sequel that is a virtual rerun of the original movie, with Lemmon and Matthau showing surprising enthusiasm for the familiar material.
