THE ODD COUPLE
January 2, 2015  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Fridays in January this new year, it’s Neil Simon night – and this first Friday of 2015 begins with the comic playwright’s classic 1968 movie version of his hit Broadway play. Walter Matthau plays slovenly sportswriter Oscar Madison, and Jack Lemmon is recently divorced fussbudget Felix Ungar. Watch because, in a few months, Matthew Perry will be starring in a new sitcom spinoff – playing, somewhat surprisingly, the Oscar role. But also watch because this movie is flat-out hilarious.
