Perhaps, you may be saying that I have taken the wrong viewpoint: the question to ask is, what is the best thing about this movie? Well, there are some features of this film that are less lame than the generally acrid level of badness that pervades the filmic vomit that is The Couch Trip. For example, Walter Matthau's hair is, at one point in the film, realistically disheveled: congrats to the hairdresser.
