Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau star in this funny film as two men who sign up to be dance hosts in a luxurious ocean liner in order to get the free cruise. Lemmon actually does his job, but Matthau starts scouting out young, rich, beautiful millionaires. The film uses a slight deviation from the Grumpy Old Men formula and it does it very well making it a wonderful choice for its fans. However, it's not perfectly funny ---- it's a hit and miss comedy ---- but Lemmon and Matthau are enjoyable in one of their last films together.
