Grumpy Old Men
Well, now, it doesn’t get much more pleasing than this. Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau and Ann-Margret star in this sweet and funny romantic comedy. This 104 minute movie was a surprise hit when released and kept growing in popularity during the next several years. Ann-Margret is beautiful and charming with a big heart. Jack and Walter are alternately hilarious, endearing, corny, annoying and grumpy—sometimes all at once. They’re so comfortable with each other—battered friends balancing the secret stories of the past. After all, they went to high school together. Now they’re crusty old coots, but still charismatic. And, we’re entertained while one of those secrets works its way to the surface.
John (Lemmon) and Max (Matthau) are retirees in Wabasha, Minnesota, and long time next door neighbors who spend their time ice fishing and tormenting each other with practical jokes. Their constant feuding is really a cover for how fond they are of each other in spite of life’s entanglements. Ariel (Ann-Margret), a free spirited and spunky English professor who loves to race around in a snowmobile, moves in across the street and becomes the focus of their competition.
In our current season of life challenges, these grumpy old faces bring sunny smiles to all those who join in the fun. Lemmon and Matthau fit together harmoniously with comedic chemistry that’s hard to come by. The supporting staff is spectacular with Burgess Meredith, Kevin Pollak and Daryl Hannah.
- Directed by Donald Petrie. Rated PG13 for mild sexual innuendo.
