What a disappointment

This movie is definitely not what I had expected. With a cast like this I expected a great comedy. But the movie was boring and confusing. There are too many flashbacks. Maybe it is just me, but I found it difficult to understand what was going on. Of course, that could also have something to do with the fact that it was very difficult for me to stay focused. What a shame this was going to be Walter Matthau's last movie. I you found this movie good or even funny, you must be more intellectual than me.

Trivia
Walter Matthau's final role. In very poor health throughout filming, he suffered from several cardiovascular problems, and had more than two heart attacks since his first in 1965. He died over seven months later, four months after the film's release.

Goofs
There is no second floor to the Richard M. Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, California.

Quotes
Lou Mozell: You know, that I actually met a girl by the name of Moo Goo Gai Pan? That was her last name. Her first name was Freida. Freida Moo Goo Gai Pan. She was half-Jewish, half-Chinese. A lot of people called her the Ori-Yenta.

Alternate versions
A flashback scene set in a New York City Chinese restaurant in the early 1990s where the sisters have a dinner with their father that ends in disaster was filmed, but ultimately cut from the final film.
