Made for TV in 1995, this version of Neil Simon's venerable play The Sunshine Boys, previously filmed with George Burns and Walter Matthau in 1975, stars Woody Allen and Peter Falk as a bickering comic team who, after years of animosity, reluctantly contemplate reuniting when offered parts in a movie.
Updating his original for the '90s, Simon has made his protagonists holdovers from the early days of TV comedy, in which both he and Allen have roots.
But overall, there's little more offered by this version of The Sunshine Boys than could be found in a community repertory production.
