Description:
Two elderly, eccentric, next-door neighbors sustain a rancorous relationship that only a wise observer could recognize as a very special friendship. When a lonely, flamboyant, middle-aged widowmoves in across the street from them, the male rivalry begins.

Amazon.com:
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" will leave you with a smile!
First off, I must show an obvious bias toward this movie. The setting is Wabasha, Minnesota. It IS NOT a fictional place. It is halfway between St. Paul, MN and LaCrosse, WI on US-61, which is one of the most scenic highways in America, especially in the autumn. My mother was raised in Wabasha, and my late father born and raised 15 miles away in Lake City, which is where my mother lives today. It is where I actually call my "home away from home." So of course, there are many aspects of the movie I can personally relate to, like the real Slippery's in Wabasha, which in real life is much classier than a throw-your-peanut-shells-on-the-floor tavern. The people living in this area are very down to earth and friendly, and for many, fishing and snowmobiling in winter is a way of life as portrayed in this movie.

Now considering these facts, Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon truly exemplify the persona of ... Read More

Grumpy Old Men is an excellent comedy and definitely worth the purchase price for great entertainment. The interaction between Jack Lemmon and Walter Matrhau borders on genius. These two characters are elderly neighbors who compete as ice fisherman and for the attention and affection of an attractive newcomer to the neighborhood, Ann Margaret. It is a hilarious madcap adventure.

- WHAT RELEASE? THERE'S NO RELEASE!!
Who would have ever thought that two really old guys could be so outrageously funny. Sorry, but now that they're gone, I can't think of anyone (or two) who could compare to this team. There're so many reasons I love this movie, it's touching, snowy, and funny as hell.

One of my favorite scenes is where Max and John try to clean up and dress to impress Ariel the former Berkeley professor, to the tune "I'm Too Sexy." Too funny. And I nearly fell off my chair laughing when John was trying to watch television and kept losing the channel because Max was changing the channels on him with his remote from his own house! There are so many funny scenes, it's amazing. I never get tired of watching this movie. It's a good film to watch when you're feeling low because you WILL laugh.Looks like Chuck's taking old one eye to the optometrist! Too bleepin funny...
