ODD COUPLE

Today's film was a remake of all the culture clash films and racial stereotype movies right down to Driving Miss Daisy. It is based on a true story but then real life is often a cliché.

That said, it is a good cliché and this is better than most.

The chemistry between the two men and their growing affection for each other is palpable.

They are, indeed, brothers under the skin.

I liked it. There are a bunch of set pieces which, while predictable, are very well done.

I am glad that I saw it and am willing to watch it again just to see these fine actors working together. The white rich guy is a dead ringer for Dustin Hoffman and has adopted some of his tics. Not a bad thing but sometimes a little too close for comfort.
