“The dialog between Matthau and Carol Burnett is in itself worth the price of admission.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWatch Mathhauu0026#39;s delivery. Watch how he communicates his own appreciation for his lines — his smug self-satisfaction almost makes us believe that he wrote this stuff himself.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDefinitely not for Bruce Willis fans.”
