In Twin Oaks, Ohio, George Kellerman (Jack Lemmon) is invited for a job interview in New York. On the eve, he travels with his wife Gwen Kellerman (Sandy Dennis), expecting to have their second honeymoon, in a night of the dreams in a fancy hotel and restaurant. However, first due to the bad weather in the N.Y. airport, they land in Boston; and later, due to a strike in the means of transportation in N.Y., they have a night of nightmare. "The Out-of-Towners" would be a very funny movie, but the nasty and arrogant character of Jack Lemmon, silly and ridiculous, does not fit with a man expecting to occupy a VP position and it is almost impossible to feel any sympathy for him and his situation. All the time, the guy wants to note the name of a person to sue him, and if it is funny in the first or maybe second situation, this insistence annoyed me. The voice of Sandy Dennis is another point that irritated me, with her timbre. Indeed, this story has a good premise, wasted in a dull character. My vote is six.
