Review of A New Leaf

A New Leaf (1971)
4/10
One of the lesser Walther Matthau movies, because it is simply lacking in good jokes.
27 December 2021
The good: Walther Matthau is who he is, a charming AND obnoxious fellow, with a loud mouth, with lots of mischievous behaviour. He is always fun to watch, BUT...

The bad: unfortunately this movie is simply lacking (big time) in good jokes. It is also lacking in a good "sparring partner" to launch the jokes of Walter Matthay, like Jack Lemmon often ideally was...

This movie is simply going nowhere. It's boring, tedious, terribly dated. Only braindead elderly would rate this with anything higher than a 7. Really weird that there are so many 9 or 10 star reviews for this movie. I guess only people who loved this movie and even knew it existed wrote a review, because I cant imagine anyone wanting to artificially fix the Imdb score for this movie, which nobody (in their right mind) will ever remember...
