Where to Watch The Sunshine Boys
- xsc54February 9, 2025One of the funniest films of all time. Some lines have more than one comedic value. The more times you watch this film the funnier it gets. Neil Simon’s masterpiece with Walter Matthau and George Burns as two vaudevillians who even after 43 years as a double act have disliked each other from day one. The funniest line is when Walter Matthau explains to his nephew Ben (Richard Benjamin) why they stayed together for all those years. Enjoy!
