Reviews for The Odd Couple

This original version seemed a little dated. Then, being a deadbeat dad got a laugh. Some of the humor, though, remained timeless. A reminder of what a genius Neil Simon was.

Very witty writing along with suneen performance. A story and a situation that doesn’t look impossible. The characters are such that you can connect with them. Though I will never like to get into a divorce situation but let’s say in a fictional world I do then this can be a story :)

l liked this play. There's something about the characters that makes me think of the Seinfeld characters...hee hee...though it's a little moralistic here and there.

One of those plays that I'm sure is much funnier performed than read. So, if you're truly interested, try and find a performance rather than reading it.
