The Out-Of-Towners Reviews
Closed out of town...
I think Steve Martin is brilliant. But I find myself avoiding so many of his films.
1999s OUT-OF-TOWNERS is not without its merits. It does get occasional laughs from its screenplay adaption. Just not as many as the rapid-fire original penned by Neil Simon! Although funny man Steve Martin and reliable Goldie Hawn are cute, neither character seems fresh nor alive.
Martin had done this role already in PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES with better results. And JOHN CLEESE has one of the least forgivable roles in recent memory.
There are some inspired scenes: When the couple find themselves in a sexaholic group meeting or when NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani catches them having sexual relations in Central Park or when Andrew Lloyd Webber robs them. This should put them on the lookout for Stephen Sondheim.
The film is filled with moments of slapstick that seem rather forced but is overall a reasonable brainless one-time-viewing story, if you can't find the original.
