Grumpy Old Men/Grumpier Old Men (1995)

They're Grumpy Old Men [Side A]. And since they're played by famed screen odd couple Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, they're also Funny Old Men. The wit hits the fan as the two play Minnesota ice-fishing pals whose crusty friendship grows hilariously icier as they vie for an attractive widow (Ann-Margret). Also in the cast are Daryl Hannah, Kevin Pollak, Ossie Davis and an outrageously randy Burgess Meredith. The two leads grab their fishing rods to reel in another comic whopper in the sequel Grumpier Old Men [Side B]. Most of the original cast returns, and Sophia Lore

Dear old couple

Many have been entertained by these two friends throughout a long career, but these late movie gems bring out so much of their true frienship and natural affection for each other that they are a real pleasure to watch, despite the sly cruelty they continuously devise for each other.

Hilarious

How can you NOT love Walter and Jack together. Such a feel good movie -- both of them and Burgess Meredith is simply wonderful as "Pop" November 10, 2008

A Double Dose of Grumpy Will Make you Twice as Happy

Two geezers arguing is funny as it is. Two geezers taking that argument further and pulling immature pranks on each other is even funnier. What makes it funniest is the great comedic duo of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are the two geezers behind those pranks.

That's what you get with "Grumpy Old Men/Grumpier Old Men." In the first installment the two old grumps compete for the attention of an attractive widow (Ann-Margret) who's just moved in across the street from them. In the sequel, Matthau and Lemmon return, but this time to stop their beloved bait shop from being turned into a restaurant. In translation, war between Maria (Sophia Lauren) and Max (Matthau) and John (Lemmon).

Together Matthau and Lemmon are comedy gold...Matthau with his charmingly sarcastic jokes and witty one-liners and Lemmon also with some witty one-liners, but he was always the more serious of the two, constantly trying to fix the messes that Matthau`s characters would create. Their chemistry on screen was amazing and can never be duplicated. This double feature is a must have for fans of Matthau and Lemmon.

Ignore the one star reviews...they just bash the fact that it's not widescreen claiming they were all schemed. The back of the DVD clearly states that the movies are FULL screen. August 11, 2008
