The Out-of-Towners (1970)

Travelling from Ohio to New York City for a job interview, Jack Lemmon and his wife Sandy Dennis suffer every possibly imaginable difficulty in their travels. Most of these begin with their own incredibly poor decision making and overreliance on systems working as they should (leaving important medications and money in their checked baggage, assuming they’ll arrive on time, etc.). Because their issues originate from their own decisions, it’s difficult to be on the couple’s side when more complications arise. Their insufferable attitudes towards life in a large city and particularly Lemmon’s rigidness to his original expectations made me just want it to quickly end.
