Good Neighbor Sam

About This Movie

Good Neighbor Sam is a quirky little comedy directed by David Swift that sort of dances around the themes of deceit and the absurdities of suburban life. It’s set in the early '60s, and you can really feel that era's charm in the pacing and the humor. The plot revolves around a good guy, played by the reliably affable Jack Lemmon, who gets caught up in a web of lies to help his neighbor, which leads to some genuinely funny moments. The performances are solid, especially Lemmon's earnestness contrasting with the ridiculous situations. The film also has this lightheartedness that makes it enjoyable, despite some predictable turns. All in all, it’s a time capsule of its genre, with a nice blend of humor and social commentary.
