GRUMPY OLD MEN(1993):

This is a really good movie about two "friends" who
have been feuding for decades over a woman that
they both wanted but eventually John Guftason(Jack
Lemmon) won her heart and Max(Walter Matthew)
has never forgiven him! Along comes a new lady to
the neighborhood(Ann-Margaret) and a new fight
emerges! With Burgess Meredeth as John's dirty
old dad, this has sweetness, humor and enough
reality of life in it to please most everyone! B+

From IMDb.com:

I write this in 2001. Sadly, at this time, all three
of the "Grumpy Old Men" (Jack Lemmon, Walter
Matthau, and Burgess Meredith) have now passed
on. But this film will show that some of your best
work can come in your golden years.

I first saw "Grumpy Old Men" against protest. Though
I'd heard of its legacy at being "SO funny!"-- I rebelled
against the idea of seeing two foul old guys yelling at
each other. One night, my parents rented it-- and I
happened to be staying at their house that night-- so
I popped it in the VCR and watched it.

I went to bed in pain that night because my abdomen
was sore from laughing so hard. It took over 3 hours
for me to watch the whole movie because I kept rewinding
and watching the funniest parts over and over again.

Though the movie stars all VERY-seasoned and excellent
actors & actresses-- one tends to forget that... and only
sees "John and Max" going at it again. It's a fifty-year fight
between these two mischievous old bags of hot-air. The
movie becomes more exciting as it progresses-- because
you get to wonder who's going to strike next and humiliate
the other... Gustafson or Goldman?

Aside from a wonderful story line and script, there are
some very memorable one-liners and quotes from both
this and "Grumpier Old Men" (the sequel). The soundtrack
is sprinkled with wonderful old songs, along with festive
polka songs to set the atmosphere for the town of Wabasha,
Minnesota-- a small Swedish-settlement in the North.

If you've not seen this movie, and you have a great sense
of humor-- do yourself the favor of renting "Grumpy Old
Men". It's a heart-warming, happy film that leaves you
feeling good after seeing it. God rest all the souls of the
stars of this film that are now no longer with us-- but
enjoy one of their last gifts to us before they left. - Clint Ford

As with most follow-up films, this is not quite up to the first
movie, though still very enjoyable! They have added a new
face to the franchise, Sofia Loren, who comes in as a love
interest for Matthau! To me she doesn't seem to quite fit
in, tho she does a fine job. Ann Morgan Gilbert, on the other
hand does great as her mama. stealing most of the scenes she's
in! Another fun movie, especially considering this would be
the last time we'd get to see the great Burgess Meredith
on the screen! Great to see Lemmon and Matthau together
again! B+

From IMDb.com:

Grumpier Old Men is one of the cutest movies I have ever
seen. It is a fitting follow - up to Grumpy Old Men. Matthau
and Lemmon shine in this great film. My favorite performance
in this film would have to go to the wonderful actress Sophia
Loren who plays a feisty newcomer in town. Burgess Meredith
is marvelous in his role, and he had me rolling! This film is
excellent, and I am proud to own it. I suggest that anyone
looking for a lots of laughs, and a cute romance story see
this movie. - Michael Clark (mikec813@aol.com)
