I'm Not Rappaport is a 1996 American buddy comedy drama film[1] written and directed by Herb Gardner, and starring Walter Matthau and Ossie Davis.

Based on Gardner's play, the film focuses on two elderly New York City men—Nat Moyer, a cantankerous left-wing Jew, and Midge Carter, an African American man—who spend their days sitting on a bench in Central Park, trying to mask the realities of aging, mainly through the tall tales that Nat spins.

Nat's married daughter Clara is concerned about his welfare, particularly because of how vulnerable a senior citizen can be in Central Park.

She has good reason to worry because Nat encounters the Cowboy, a drug dealer who is owed money by a young woman named Laurie, and by J.C., a mugger who turns violent when Nat unwisely decides to fight back.

The film touches on several issues, including society's treatment of the aged, the difficulties of dealing with adult children who think that they know what is best for their parents, and the dangers that lurk in urban areas.
