Description: The more things change, the more they stay the same in Wabasha, Minnesota. The uncatchable fish named Catfish Hunter grows fatter. The wisecracks, zingers and put downs pile up like freshly raked leaves. And Grumpy Old Men become grumpier in the sequel that's "pure delight, a wonderfully warmhearted comedy" (David Sheehan, CBS-TV). Grabbing fishing rods and picking up where they left off, Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau reel in another comedy winner as Grumpier Old Men. Ann-Margret, Daryl Hannah, Kevin Pollack and Burgess Meredith also return to the Land of 10,000 Lakes to reprise their roles. And Sophia Loren is the newcomer whose plan to turn the town's beloved bait shop into a ristorante sends the old boys into a tizzy. Be advised: a tizzy is very contagious. Get ready to laugh. And stay tuned for the outtakes, including "man-sized manicotti!"
Amazon.com: The success of Grumpy Old Men made this 1995 sequel practically mandatory, and although it's not much more than a Grumpy retread, the same schtick is just as funny the second time around. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau reunited as the Minnesota neighbors who make a hobby out of mutual aggravation, but while Lemmon's married (to Ann-Margret), this time it's Matthau who's looking for love. He finds it when Sophia Loren arrives to open an Italian ristorante on the site of Jack and Walter's favorite bait shop, but only after the grumpy guys have done their best to stop the ristorante from opening. The impending wedding of Kevin Pollak (as Matthau's son) and Daryl Hannah (as Lemmon's daughter) puts love in the air, so it's not too long before Matthau and Loren are singing "That's Amore." And Burgess Meredith (in one of his final screen roles) returns as Lemmon's saucy old father, who gets all the best lines and delivers them with lusty vigor. --Jeff Shannon
Grumpier Old Men Great Movie different from most part 2 movies it is better than the original. The cast is perfect and plays off of each other to perfection.Grumpy Old Men/Grumpier Old Men
Grumpier Old Men Another hilarious adventure with this great cast of characters: Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Sophia Loren, Ann-Margaret and Burgess Merideth. I never get tired of watching this DVD when I just want light entertainment.
very funny i love it! it came quicker than my husband. Its soooo funny! the sequel to my favorite movie, Grumpy old Men!
Comedy I just loved the first movie and the sequel was just as good or better. Such chemistry between the actors!
Still grumpy, still funny! I was so happy with the first film that I just had to see the sequel and let me just say that it was bigger and better the second time around. I feel that Matthau and Lemmon were just dynamic together in just about everything they did, and this film proved to be one of their finest moments. Jack Lemmon reprises his role as John, as Matthau reprises his role as Max, and the two of them are still fighting day in and day out. John is now married to Ariel (Ann-Margret) and he and Max are busy planning the wedding of their kids (Johns daughter Melanie played by Daryl Hannah is marrying Max's son Jacob played by Kevin Pollak). The film real though focuses on the relationship building between Max and Maria (Sophia Loren), the new owner of the bait and tackle store they frequently visit. When Maria declares she's turning the bait store into a restaurant Max and John hatch plenty of schemes to prevent that from happening. In the process though, Max falls head over heals for her instead. The film is hilarious and serves as a welcome addition to the Matthau/Lemmon collection, and thanks to Burgess Meredith who plays Johns father we are given some of the funniest (if not dirtiest) one-liners I've ever heard. Make sure you keep it running after the movie for the bloopers...Meredith steals them with pure comedic genius.
