Burgess Meredith separating Jack and Walter like they're 12 years old boys is damn funny to me 😂
Damn kids! 😂😂😂
He was also in Rocky
That still makes me laugh too 🤣
Now you have to do the sequel: "Grumpier Old Men". Same cast with one legendary addition, which I'm not going to spoil for you.
I love the original but I think I like the sequel a little more.
Yes please do the sequel!
Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are legends. They've done a bunch of movies together including the sequel to this, called Grumpier Old Men which is also great and worth checking out. Also, check them out in The Fortune Cookie, The Odd Couple, The Odd Couple II, The Front Page, Buddy Buddy and Out to Sea.
Burgess Meredith, the father of Jack Lemmon's character also played Mickey Goldmill in the Rocky movies. He was a scene stealer in this and the sequel. So funny!
The Odd Couple (1968) still makes me laugh every single time. "It took three hours to figure out that F.U. was Felix Unger"
@@vincecommando7575yeah they did 10 movies together total
Just saw Buddy, Buddy again tonight, its really funny. Love J. Lemmon in this one ; )
You can't go wrong with anything Matthau and Lemmon are in, together or solo, they are great actors.
God rest their souls. I doubt that we be privileged to see talent as great as theirs again.
They get grumpier in the sequel and I simply can't recommend it highly enough. Comedies just don't get much better than this pair of films.
One thing I particularly love about these films is how they showcase the genuine, real life friendship between Walter Matthou and Jack Lemmon. Although they are great and tallanted actors, they weren't acting here. That's just letting them be who they are and filming the magic.
They filmed some of this movie in my home town when I was in 3rd grade. I got to meet the director, and Anne Margaret talked my ears off and was super nice. Great movie. Classic.
Great Reaction! The sequel is really funny as well. By the way, Gustafson SR was Mick in the Rocky movies. Burgess Meredith was an outstanding actor. His career spanned almost 70 years.
The Penguin, brought to you by Burgess Meredith.
You're gonna piss lightning, and you're gonna crap thunder!! You're going to be a very dangerous person. Yo, thanks, Mick.
@@jeffreyjeziorski1480 You're going to eat lightning and crap thunder. Plus Meredith was in some of my fave Twilight Zone episodes.
@@jeffreyjeziorski1480 On the campy Batman show.
Amazing career and actor!
There were some real screen legends in this movie. Ann-Margret was so hot when she was young that The Flintstones had a character named Ann-Margrock based on her.
Seeing then fifty and a bit years old Ann-Margaret Olsson was a treat, even if it makes me feel old. Right now I am in between the ages that Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon were when Grumpy Old Men was released.
Grumpier Old Men (a match for the Matthau character) is also hilarious.
Please, please, please watch "Grumpier Old Men". Such a great sequel to such a great movie. This movie is such a treat - glad you enjoyed it!
Three must see:
Jack Lemmon in -The Apartment. 1960.
Walter Mathau in -
Charlie Varrick. 1973.
Lemmon & Mathau in -
The Odd Couple.
Also a great watch:
Mathau & George Burns in -
The Sunshine Boys.
And, The Great Race, - 1965. A comedy tour de force with Jack Lemmon & Tony Curtis.
All great recommendations.
might want to add to the list Ann Margret in "Bye Bye Birdie" a musical she plays a teenager
Burgess Meredith (John’s Dad6 was terrific in this. Grumpier Old Men is also a gem! Outstanding renowned actors in both; Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Ann-Margaret, OSSIE Davis,,Kevin Pollack and Darryl Hannah; and added to Grumpier Old Men, Sophia Loren and Ann Morgan!
Love this movie, two old pals just having a laugh together in their twilight years. And, yes Burgess Meredith stealing the show in his final role is a great way to end. P.S. If you don't know already, google image for Jack Lemmon's headstone. Funny even after passing. Legend.
The 2 grumpy old men were actors Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. They were best friends in real life and made several movies together including Grumpier Old Men, the sequel to Grumpy Old Men.
Yes!!
Grumpier Old Men (part2)
They have Even more Bloopers at the end !!
The blooper guy is Burgees Meridith ( misspelled) he also played the trainer in the Rocky movies (1-3) .
The sequel adds legend Sophia Loren to the cast!!
Jacob is Kevin Pollak you saw him in A Few Good Men , with Tom Cruise and Demi Moore.
and "The Penguin" in the Batman TV series as well.
Burgess Meredith absolutely cracks me up in this and Grumpier Old Men. When he first cracked off "Did you mount her, son?" I was equally shocked and amused and he was instantly my favourite character.
Plenty of legendary talent, personality and charm in this movie. Daryl Hannah was a mermaid named MADISON in 'Splash,' a fun comedy with Tom Hanks, John Candy and Eugene Levy. She also played the title character in 'Roxanne' with Steve Martin, Shelley Duvall and Fred Willard. Fred and Eugene Levy were both regulars in Christopher Guest's wry comedies. I could go on ...
These two had been playing friendly adversaries since the '60s.
Check out 'The Odd Couple'.
Oh yeah, there is a "Grumpier Old Men'.
Anne Margret was a bit of a 'sex queen' back in the day too.
The old dad is the great veteran actor Burgess Meredith. Knows for the Rocky movie, the penguin from the 1966 Batman series and one of the 1st actors to play George on the movie of mice and men. Red head was Anne Margaret Las Vegas singer actress and Elvis Presley girlfriend.✌️❤️
Yeah, one of the many, many problems with modern writing is that they're always looking at the sequel the franchise. Nothing of consequence ever happens, no arc the end is the same as the beginning, it really sucks. 😞 Great reaction Madison, worth the wait, just what I needed, enjoyed that.
Consider "Amélie (2001)" for a reaction after the holiday season, think you'll really like it.
+1 for the "Amelie" recommendation. It's a beautiful and unique movie. Great writing, great acting, great cinematography. Not even my favourite genre, but this movie is just perfect. Everyone who loves the art and "magic" of cinema should watch it.
I’m so glad that you enjoyed this. I also recommend the sequel, Grumpier Old Men.
When I was in high school, our family watched both of these on videotape when they first came out. I think my grandma was with us both times. These are so funny.
One of the best comedy duos ever! You need to add two movies by Lemmon and Matthau to your to do list. Their first together in 1966 The Fortune Cookie and 1968's classic The Odd Couple. Great reaction as always Madison.👍😁
It's been ages. Is "Odd Couple" the one where they share a flat and Matthau is the sports journalist? That's a great one for sure.
@@mrtveye6682 Yes it is.
@@mrtveye6682 and Lemmon is an insufferable neat freak and borderline hypochondriac.
This film and its sequel were a wonderful late-career bonus for Lemon and Matthau. Their decades-long friendship and rapport was as good as ever.
Awesome reaction, and in fairness, the irs does provide depression quite well. Additionally, not only is the Sequel Grumpier Old Men a solid movie to react to or simply watch at some point in your life. You should also check out The Apartment for the opportunity to not only see another great comedy film but also see Jack Lemon as a younger man. Also as others have likely pointed out The Odd Couple is the original of them being the buddy comedy duo.
Oh wow! I LOVE this movie. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are HILARIOUS! Together, they are comedy gold.
The acting chemistry between Jack Lemon and Walter Matthau is the best.
One of the greatest acting duos ever.
JACK LEMON made a great film called THE APARTMENT . his work bosses take advantage of his characters apartment to carry on affairs .its a comedy
The Apartment would 100% be up Madison's alley. Classic comedy.
You saw Grandpa Gustafson before in Rocky.
DeepCut Madison - Lemmon & Matthau are always fun together (and IRL were BFFs) - you so need to see THE ODD COUPLE) Gustafson Sr. was played by the late, great Burgess Meredith - who was a fantastic character actor and Ann-Margret one of our loveliest actresses/sexy symbols (I think you'll enjoy the sequel to this too) Kevin Pollak as the son was also in THE USUAL SUSPECTS & Darryl Hannah as the daughter is best known for SPLASH (another must watch) & the remake of ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN (both films also worth a gander) Happy Thanksgiving!
Christmas time movie:
“While You Were Sleeping “
With Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman
and an amazing cast of supporting actors !
Sweet movie!!!!!!!!
Grumpier Old Men, really does the story justice. Hope to see you react to that one to😊. Thanks for sharing!
The father - “Did you mount her?” - was Mickey in the movie, Rocky.
Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau were sold gold together. Hands down they were right up there with the greatest comedy duos ever. Even decades later these guys will still be hilariously funny. Also on a side note, thank you for pointing out how it seems that writers and directors can't make a satisfying film anymore.
ARE gold.. they are gold. Legends never die haha
@@yourlifeisagreatstory You are absolutely right. True legends live on for the masses that have yet to discover them. They are all there waiting for you to find them. On this side and the other. Until you reach the other side smell the roses, see the sites and enjoy every festivity you can. Treat yourself don't cheat yourself. Exercise your adventurous spirit in every facet of life.
the next one "Grumpier old Men" is just as good.. maybe even slightly better!
Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau worked on 11 movies together, most of them comedies. They first co-starred in the Billy Wilder film The Fortune Cookie in 1966. Some of the other films they did together include The Odd Couple (1968), The Front Page (1974), The Grass Harp (1995), Grumpier Old Men (1995), Out to Sea (1997), and The Odd Couple II (1998).
Burgess Meredith is hilarious. Walter, And Jack are hilarious.
Welcome to Minnesota
Great review of a great classic!
Burgess Meredith was being fed the jokey names by Kevin Pollak
Great reaction Madison...
I just showed my GF this movie & its sequel several days ago and she enjoyed both movies, laughing a lot.
It's cool how John doesn't let his grudge against Max affect his opinion towards Jacob.
Thanks for reacting to this late in life classic. Matthau and Lemon have great timing and chemistry. They have been a great team since the 1968 movie "The Odd Couple". Putting Burgess Meredith in as pops is great. Ann Margaret is the wonderful icing on the cake. The sequel is pretty good also. Good reaction.
What people don't realize is these two Grumpy Old Guy's are actually Life Long Best Friends 😊 & Yes they 😍Love each other the Grumpiness is how they show their ❤Love 😃😁😍😊🇺🇸🙏😇👍
YES! One of my favorite movies!!! This and Grumpier Old Men, two of the funniest movies.
Really enjoyed your commentary on this Madison. The title just doesn't give away the crossing storylines. Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthou & Ossie Davis bring such a real feeling to their characters...& Ann Margaret is always fabulous. Love the arc each of them go through & I agree, the side story of Jacob & Melanie is a sweet one. [Have a classic for you to review for the holidays; "The Best Years of Our Lives" &"Christmas in Connecticut." You will absolutely love these!]
The actor who played Jacob was the third defense attorney in "A Few Good Men." His name is Kevin Pollak.
I love pops ending the fight. Even at 90 something, your parents still can scare you into knocking your crap off
Ann-Margret's first screen test is on RUclips. She does "Mack The Knife" and "Bill Bailey". She was going places.
Glad you watched and enjoyed this one Madison! I love this film, I remember seeing this in the theater when it came out, unfortunately Hollywood doesn't make these types of films anymore, this one and the 2nd one, Grumpier old men, are classics, I really hope you will see that as well and react to that one as well, I totally agree with your analogy of today's films, yout absolutely correct, take care!.
Burgess Meredith ( John's dad) was the Penguin in the Bat Man TV series. He goes back to the 30's in movies. Ann Margaret was a bombshell in the 60's- 70's. See her movie with Elvis
Pops was played by iconic actor, Burgess Meredith. Scene with Max (Walter) seeing John (Jack) hooked up to medical monitors shows Walter's true reactions because both Jack and Walter were close friends and collaborators in their films for decades. Both of them died in early 2000's. But their movies will live on.......
You should definitely watch the sequel Grumpier Old Man
I've been to two weddings in that church, and put a couple beers back in that bar. This movie brings back memories.
Jack Lemmon & Walter Matthau starred together in a comedy movie "the Odd Couple" 1968 about friends who end up as roommates who are like oil and water compatible, two extremes of personality. They later made a tv sitcom out of it ( with different actors ).
Hmmm... I've never heard a Hallmark Movie with lines like "riding the Baloney Pony" in it! hehehe
"Grumpier old men" is just as good and Includes Sophia Loren!
Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon had worked together in a legendary Comedy back in the 60's called "the Odd Couple" and after Grumpier Old Men, made a sequel to "The Odd Couple" as well.
Their chemistry and ability to play off each other was Magnificent!
Make sure to also watch Grumpier Old Men!
You need to watch the same duo of Jack Lemon and Walter Matthau in "The Fortune Cookie". You'll really love the ending.
Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon worked several times together in movies. Their first movie together was The Odd Couple. That is a must see. It's soooo funny!!
The sequel, Grumpier Old Men, is even better than the original. The full cast is back (plus some new characters) and everything picks up where they left off. More comedic turns, as well. Oh, and warm weather, no snow, so you can watch in the spring.
Another movie others miss, a good movie with good great actors - awesome reaction 👍 - hav a safe thanksgiving
In my top 10 movies. Casting is great, the story, the characters and it’s heart.
Those 2 stared in 10 movies together in their careers 😊
The Great Race by Blake Edwards from 1965 featured Jack Lemmon, Peter Falk, Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood. It was a slapstick comedy and you’d probably enjoy it!
Awesome Reaction! You've got to check out the sequel Grumpier Old Men
Hopscotch with Matthau is hilarious and relatively unknown.
Great reaction Madison, you know what I find interesting about this cast Walter Matthau, Burgess Meredith & Ann-Margret all worked with Elvis in his movies.
Madison Movie at it finest! Couple of Brilliant old war horse with and spectacular older lady all turn in great performances. Matthau and Lemon always good together with Ann Margret to spice things up. Hope you really enjoyed this! Somehow knowing your sensibility I figured you did! Super Thanks for this! Hope if was fun!
Jack Lemmon and Walter Mathau are legendary duo. They did so many legendary films together. All together they did 10 films between 1966 and 1998. And when they died, they are buried about 50 feet from each other. They were friends in life. Holding together in life and death.
R.I.P To All Those Who We're In This Movie Are No Longer With Us, Still Miss You All😢
This and the sequel are 2 of my favorite movies ever!
Great choice. Sequel also great. Burgess Meredith played the original Penguin in the 1960s Batman (1966) movie & TV series. Also he played a key character in In Harms Way w/ John Wayne.
Burgess Meridith (pop) was the Penguin, on the original Batman TV series. He's such a riot with his one liners!
You should also check out the 1968 movie, The Odd Couple, with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. They were a great comedy team for years!
You may not recognize the actors in this movie but the top four ( Burgess Meredith, Walter Matthau, Jack Lemon, and Ann Margaret ) are all icons and have had long successful careers. The rest of the cast are also excellent and very successful actors themselves.
We sold the production company of Grumpier Old Men a couple ok f cars from my friends car lot in Shakopee, MN close to where both were filmed. My Step-Uncle (Wayne Evenson) played Handsome Hans The Polka Man in the second movie.
You've seen John's father, the really old grumpy old man, Burgess Meredith in the first two ROCKY movies. He was Rocky's trainer. But he's had a very long and memorable career and maybe his best role was back in the 30s as a the main character in the John Steinbeck classic, OF MICE AND MEN. Great movie, by the way. Put it on your list of must sees.
You've also seen Max's son, Kevin Pollak, as one of THE USUAL SUSPECTS and as the assistant defense attorney in A FEW GOOD MEN. And his wife Daryl Hannah you've seen if you caught BLADE RUNNER, KILL BILL 1&2, SPLASH or ROXANNE. For a while in the '80s she was a real hot porperty
As to the title characters, Jack Lemmon and Walther Matthau both are A-Listers that are kind of hard to miss if you've seen any movies from the 50s to the 90s. Often cast in light hearted comedies and a few dramas too. And they were also commonly paired together in Neil Simon movies back in the '60s (most notably in THE ODD COUPLE) which is why they were cast again for this one. It gave it a nostalgic appeal. For another great modern movie where they appeared take a look at the OLIVER STONE iconic 1992 masterpiece, JFK. (One of my top ten all time favorites).
The other familiar face from 60s cinema is Ann-Margret (Ariel) whom you may enjoy in the 1960s remake of the old 1930s John Wayne classic, STAGECOACH. The critics at the time hated it. But critics are often politically motivated. It is actually quite good as '60s westerns go.
Check out the movie CHARADE
with Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant and see a young Walter Matthau!!
Great movie, twists , all star cast!
Great reaction, Madison. Subverting expectations (or "not giving the audience what they want") does seem to be the new norm in movies these days.
I love that Kevin Pollock said about this film in an interview, that Matthau actually hated the script and only did this movie because it paid him a million dollars to do it and he happened to owe his bookie a million dollars at the time. So the only reason that legend is in this is because of his gambling problem.
Chick Marx had a similar movie for money motivation.
As had Norm Macdonald...or so the Germans would have you believe.
Jack Lemmon is one of my favorites since I was a child --- Irma La Douce -- Some like it Hot -- athe Apartment -- The Great Race -- and of course The Odd Couple he did with Walter -- the next one Grumpier Old Men is just as fun as this one is -- you would enjoy it too
Walter Mathau and Jack Lemmon made several movies together and each of them is a hoot. I think my favourite is "Buddy buddy", last movie directed by Billy Wilder. Helping them is Klaus Kinsky in an unusual role.
Never heard of ice fishing? Its actually very popular in northern states. Some of those ice fishing shacks can be really fancy. I love both this and the sequel. Rip to both grumpy old man. And pop, played by burgess Meredith is my favorite character and my spirit animal! Meooooow!
This film is an absolute TREASURE!
You should watch the sequel; "Grumpier Old Men"
You need to check out The Odd Couple, you'd love it. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are chemistry incarnate.
Burgess Meredith (Gustafson Sr.) is a legend with a long list of television and movies behind him. He's probably best known for roles in Rocky, The Twilight Zone, and the 1966 Batman series.
Great Reaction...... IT is Great Seeing these Legends on Screen Together.....
In Case no one else mentioned it..... Jake was Tom Cruises sidekick Lt Weinstein in "A Few Good Men"
Grumpier Old Men is just as good. Maybe even better.
Please give the STAR TREK franchise a chance. 🖖😌
There might not ever be a comedic chemistry like the one that Lemmon and Mathau had. They managed to pair up perfectly for this to be both really funny and really captivating as Max and John.
There's a great old movie from the 60s the both of 'em and it was a real hit that took that idea to make a TV serie... "The Odd Couple" .
They are legends, like other people told you. And I love there movies together, and have seen them a ton of times. You will enjoy them all, if you chose to watch them. This movie is the first of serie. And there are many more. Burgess was the coach in all the Rocky movies.
You need to see (Some Like It Hot 1959) with a much younger Jack Lemmon
im glad you enjoyed it
Fun stuff for sure. way back in the day, both 'King Kong ( the superior 1933 version with F. Wray ). AND. 'Wizard of Oz' were on TV every year. later, the musical great tenth anniversary show of ' Les Miz' was an every year feature on PBS. haven't seen that on TV lately either. probably good, commercials ruin everything. Ya an always rewatch Casablanca and Lonesome Dove.
From somebody who lived all his life in Chicago, that snow is just normal winter snow. I've been through storms that piled up above the cars by morning. Last year was my first winter in NC and I don't miss the snow one bit. You can have it all.
Happy Thanksgiving
@15:20 Angel-A. Very good French film directed by Luc Besson and starring the grocery delivery guy from Amelie……which I assume you’ve seen. If not, rectify.
Jack Lemmon is an Academy Award winning icon. Too many films to list, but DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES, GLENNGARRY GLENN ROSS, SOME LIKE IT HOT, THE ODD COUPLE are but a few. Burgess Meredith was another well respected actor with a fantastic resume. Walter Matthau ALSO has a long list of fine films.
Your summary and reaction is superb as always! Have a great Thanksgiving Ms. Madison
You must have "cringed" too when she said she didn't know any of these actors, LOL. It's not her fault, of course. Sure does make some of us "feel our age" though! 😂
wow little lady who ever gets to hold your hand in life will be one lucky man !
36:55 He played Sam, Tom Cruise's assist in A Few Good Men
Great reaction, glad to enjoyed it. You absolutely must watch Grumpier Old Men. I think you'll love it because It's as good or better.
Mathau and Lemon are such a great team.
I love logos and fonts. Yeah, the GO looks pleasant. 😊
