When ABC decides to do a special on the history of comedy, they call on the famous vaudeville team of Lewis & Clark. However, the two aging comedy stars haven't spoken in years and must be persuaded to work together. Clark (Matthau) is a diehard New Yorker who lives and breathes show business. The stubborn and slovenly actor still auditions for work with the help of his persistent nephew turned agent, Ben (Benjamin). Lewis (Burns) walked out on the team's final show to retire and move to New Jersey with his wife and kids, much to the chagrin of his show-loving partner. The two eccentric characters are complete opposites who worked together as a comic powerhouse in the past, known in their heyday as the Sunshine Boys. Ben attempts to do everything in his power to get the cantankerous team to put on one last show. (forgalmazó hivatalos szövege)

Walter Matthaus is a total classic in this movie, a choleric like no other. And he’s perfectly complimented by George Burns, who tries to get along with Walter even though it’s practically impossible. It creates an infinite amount of incredible scenes in which Walter showcases an unearthly performance of a neurotic who creates scenes that I can’t even imagine with my own nature. This entire time, the comedy is making it clear which way it’s going to go and it looked like it’s gonna get three stars the entire time because it kept repeating itself. But the ending finished it all, because it showed something that I’ve completely forgot about in the course of this movie – humanity.
