Lewis and Clark, aka The Sunshine Boys, were famous comedians during the vaudeville era, but off-stage they couldn't stand each other and haven't spoken in over 20 years of retirement. Willy Clark's nephew is the producer of a TV variety show that wants to feature a reunion of this classic duo. It is up to him to try to get the Sunshine Boys back together again.

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The Sunshine Boys is an extremely sensitive and lovable film version of Neil Simon's play, with Walter Matthau and George Burns outstanding in their starring roles as a pair of long-hostile vaudeville partners.

fresh:
Mr. Matthau is so good playing old men, we may never know when he finally becomes one.

rotten:
Neil Simon's most irritating play is no less agonizing on the screen under Herbert Ross's sycophantic direction.
