Editorial Review:
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
Description of Grumpy Old Men/Grumpier Old Men:
Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are reunited in this popular 1993 comedy, in which the Odd Couple veterans play John and Max (respectively), a pair of elderly bachelors whose lifelong friendship is based on mutual aggravation and constant bickering. Their competitive natures kick into overdrive when the beautiful Ariel (Ann-Margret) moves into their otherwise snowbound Minnesota neighborhood. She takes a liking to John, but after a lover's spat she also gives Max a chance at romance, and the long-time buddies reach a peak of grumpy rivalry. It's a stretch to think that Ann-Margret's dating choices would be limited to a pair of grouchy codgers, but sarcastic attitude and snappy dialogue made this a surprise hit (followed by a 1995 sequel), and Burgess Meredith adds plenty of spice as Lemmon's amorous old father. Don't forget to watch the hilarious outtakes during the closing credits! --Jeff Shannon
Grumpy Old Men/Grumpier Old Men Reviews:
grumpy old men 
2009-11-22 - Recieved the movie timely & quality was as good as stated. Would deal with this person again.
About as interesting as a hallmark card. 
2009-10-14 - It started off ok, but got slow and predictable as it went on. Could inspire you to wanna go to bed early. All that snow made me wanna hibernate. The irreverent outtakes as the credits roll are about the best part of this film.
They are both HILARIOUS!
2009-10-02 - I LOVE these guys and I am 25! I think they are so funny, great family film. It is great for all ages (well maybe not youngsters). I would recommend anybody watching it!
Great movie, excellent price.
2009-09-08 - These movies have been around for a while, but they are absolutely wonderful. The price was excellent.
the best comedy duo since laurel & hardy!
2009-08-11 - With the follow-up, 'Out to sea', both of these comics died within months of each other. Who WOULDN'T love to see them starring with the still luscious Ann Margret and Sophia Loren?
