    Subtle, clever. Long live Matthau.
    The dialog between Matthau and Carol Burnett is in itself worth the price of admission.

    Watch Mathhau's delivery. Watch how he communicates his own appreciation for his lines -- his smug self-satisfaction almost makes us believe that he wrote this stuff himself.

    Definitely not for Bruce Willis fans.
