Overview: contemplating suicide. His friends sense his depression and one of them, Oscar (Walter Matthau), volunteers to take him in until he is back on his feet. The two of them are polar opposites - Oscar is slovenly, irresponsible, and fun-loving. Felix is an obsessive-compulsive neat-freak, hyper-responsible, family-focused guy. Their lifestyles clash from the start, nit-picking each other’s habits and arguing constantly. The situation culminates in a disastrous double date with the Pigeon sisters and Oscar throwing Felix out. Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy? This movie was the inspiration for the popular 1960s TV series of the same name, with Walter Matthau reprising his role as Oscar and Tony Randall playing Felix.
