Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Tip of the cap to A, whoever idea this idea was. B, whoever green lit the project and C to whoever chose the principal cast. Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, Ann Margaret, Burgess Meredith, Ossie Davies, Daryl Hannah, Kevin Pollack and everyone's favourite douche Christopher McDonald are all superb!!Plot In A Paragraph: A long standing rivalry between two old neighbours (Matthau and Lemmon) intensifies when a beautiful woman (Margaret) moves across the road. Matthau and Lemmon are a delight. They are called John and Max but it does not matter as they could be playing Felix Unger and Oscar Maddison again. I love watching them on screen together. Ann Margaret still looks fantastic, Christopher McDonald is as unlikeable as ever, and it was good to see Daryl Hannah at her cute best (as the perfect girl next door) again whilst Burgess Meredith steals the entire movie (not easy when the cast is this good) as Lemmon's Dad.
I watched this film on CMT (?) on Martin Luther King Day (2014); seems kind of cynical.No, rednecks are not necessarily racist and the good people of Wabasha, MN are certainly not.......how would I know, I've been to every state but not to Wabesha, MN? I'm from Wiscosnin, where sophisticated people like Spencer Tracy, Pat O'Brien and 'Manny Moore' grew up. I've been to Mayer, outside of Minneapolis, and that's my name. I think I'll buy the town. Now, to the movie: The sons and daughters appear to be more sophisticated than the fathers, so they must be living in Milwaukee.As I look out my front windows, in northeast Wisconsin, in January (yes, I have more than one window) it looks just like Wabesha, but I would bet the film was produced in the Sierra Nevada's, outside of L.A.People who live on the east or west coasts might feel that this film is hokey and typical of the Great Lakes (or, as they call it 'midwestern venue'), but, according to a 'Wall Street 24/7' survey, the 2nd brightest people live in Wiscosnin (2nd to Vermont) and Minnesota is in the top ten. West and east coast people are the citizens who say '...the trip was SO FUN,' used out of grammatical context.Walter and Jack are great impersonating the Great Lakes persona, but I don't think they would have given a 'rat's ass.' As for Ann...she is just trying to make a living; an aging film star.Cute movie, but is that what it's all about 'Alfie?'
This movie is very cheerful and delivers a subtle family comedy for all to see, many fun pairing of both Lemmon and Matthau are available, my favorite has always been Odd Couple, this 1993 pairing will fall under my top 3 pairing of both actors.This is the sixth film to star both Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau and one of the coolest as both actors were at their best, and they delivered the laughs. The thing that got to me in this movie is the way men in their 70s behaved like children, playing tricks on one another and even coming up with some that I have never thought off. This romantic comedy also stared Ann Margret, and her acting was fun to see as I have no recollection of seeing her in any other movie and seeing her here was a nice introduction for me.Grumpy Old Men is directed by Donald Petrie who is the man behind the 1994 movie Ritchie Rich and my worse movie ever in 2003 How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days.The movie plot is about two old friends/rivals Max (Walter Matthau) and John (Jack Lemmon), both retired and spend majority of their adult life playing tricks on one another.Things changed in their small town when college professor Ariel Truax (Ann Margret) moved into a house opposite theirs, her happy demeanor and joyful outlook, made her the talk of the town and soon Max and John took a liken into her and their old time feud continued as both tried to get the girl.The movie is fun and funny and was recognized by the American Film Institute, as it got a nomination in the AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs. The next movie that both were in after this series (i.e. after 1995 Grumpier Old Men) was Out to Sea, which was not well received by critics, but I have seen the movie and I can tell you it is not as bad as critics make it to be, it was funny and delightful.Grumpy Old Men was followed by Grumpier Old Men two years after in 1995, another old female icon Sophia Loren was introduced into the mix of Lemmon and Matthau, whose acting was not as grand as that of Ann Margret if I may say so. This movie had a mere positive reception from critics and it also was a mild box office success.www.lagsreviews.com
This movie was one of the best ever. It had it all - great acting, atmosphere (it felt like winter in Minnesota), a beautiful soundtrack, touching moments and most of all it was very, very funny. The cast was absolutely perfect. I don't know why some of the reviewers complained about watching old men swearing at each other and fighting. I think the title kinda implies that. If you don't like watching grumpy old men then a movie called "Grumpy Old Men" is probably not for you. Some people just take things too seriously. This is the kind of movie you can watch over and over again and it still makes you laugh or at least smile every time.
