DVD Reviews of The Fortune Cookie
DVD Review: Excellent Acting Jack Lemmon & Walter Matthau, Below Average Comedy
Summary: 3 Stars
Excellent Acting Jack Lemmon & Walter Matthau, also a superb directing by Billy Wylder.
It has some great scenes and a few good laughs although is considered a classic I grade this a B+ Average Comedy.
Their acting was excellent and the beggining of a long, lustrous and profitable relationship, this movie is not too funny, compared to their best classics The Odd Couple, Some Like it Hot, Grumpy Old Men, ans sequels like The Odd Couple II, and Grumpier Old Men, nor Walter Matthau's Hopscotch, A Guide for the Married Man, Cactus Flower, or Jack Lemmon's The Out-of-Towners, The Apartment, How to Murder Your Wife, It Happened to Jane, Avanti, My Fellow Americans, and many more.
The Fortune Cookie is at the level of Out at Sea and Front Page. If you are a Lemmon and/or Matthau fan is a must see otherwise buy one or all mention above you'd not regret it a bit, and would have hours of great laughs.

Description of The Fortune Cookie
Powered by Walter Matthau's OscarĀ(r)-winning* performance as the quintessential all-American chiseler, The Fortune Cookie is a hysterically funny comedy that showcases filmmaker BillyWilder at his uproarious best. Harry Hinkle (Jack Lemmon) is one lucky guy! When he's accidentally clobbered by a 220-pound halfback, all Harry suffers is a slight concussion. All, that is, until Whiplash Willie (Matthau)a legal scoundrel of the first orderarrives on the scene! For if Harry follows shyster Willie's advice and feigns a crippling injury, the two charlatans can split a cool million in phony insurance claims. But can Willie's world-class finagling dispel those ominous words that lie within the fortune cookie on Harry's hospital plate: You can't fool all of the people all of the time? *1966: Supporting ActorBestsellers in DVD
