    One of the rare films I think you should watch the sequel. It feels like one long story about these 2 guys, but the sequel we see more things tied together. Plus, it adds Sophia Loren to the cast.

    This movie holds a very special place in my heart. When I was a little boy in 1994 I was visiting relatives for Christmas. Somebody rented 'Grumpy Old Men' on VHS. Four generations of my family sat and watched this movie and laughed. Everything from 80+ to 10 years old were sitting around the TV at Christmas laughing together. It is one of my fondest memories of Christmas from childhood. Any movie that can bridge that massive gap in generations and bring people together in laughter is something very special. I'm glad y'all liked it so much.

Amazing flick and a FU to the Hollywood machine that never makes alot of content for the 40 and older crowd.

    My dad took me to the theaters to see this when it came out and the whole room was falling out on the floor. My dad was a big time fisherman too, so a lot of the fishing jokes really hit him hard. We went back every Saturday and watched it again for like a month straight! It was an instant classic.
    You should also watch Grumpier Old Men also, great sequel and I'd say just as funny as the first one! And it was actually good as far as sequels go, followed right after the first movie and tied up a LOT of loose ends. DEFINITELY worth a watch!!!

It was later made into a pretty good TV series with different actors, but the movie is the best!

    Everybody knows Burgess Meredith was in Rocky, but he's also been a fan favorite of comic book nerds for being the first screen actor to play Oswald Cobblepot, the Penguin, in the Batman TV series more than two decades before Danny DeVito made him a little monster.
    Even before that, he was Henry Bemis, the sad bookworm in one of the most famous episodes of Twilight Zone. He's a versatile actor who has been in everything forever, comedies, drama, westerns, war films, everything.

    I grew up in the 70’s on Chicago’s west side in the hood. You’d never guess that based on my musical tastes. Being poor, my entertainment was spending hours traveling up and down the radio bandwidth listening to every kind of music. It was a gateway to learning about different cultures and countries, but one genre of music that I absolutely hated was classical music. I just couldn’t stand it. Wouldn’t you know it, years later one of my kids took up the violin, becoming classically trained at one of the best conservatories in the country. Now, understanding the genre, composers, stories behind the pieces, and the skill and artistry needed I love listening to classical music. It’s as soulful to me as listening to the Staple Singers.

    Actors in this movie you may have seen before but failed to recognize:
    Kevin Pollack (Max's son) was one of THE USUAL SUSPECTS and was also Tom Cruise's assistant defense attorney in A FEW GOOD MEN and the Casino front man in CASINO.
    Darryl Hannah (Gustafson's daughter) was also the one eyed assassin Ellie Driver in KILL BILL and she was one of the androids in BLADE RUNNER if you saw that. Made famous though as the mermaid in the Tom Hanks classic, SPLASH
    Burgess Meredith (Gustafson's father) Was Rocky's trainer in ROCKY 1 and 2. But he had a very loing and illustrious career as a support actor. And I highly recommend one of his earliest films, OF MICE AND MEN (from the '30s) where he actually had the lead and won an Oscar for his performance I believe.
    Buck Henry (the IRS agent) is maybe best known as a comedy writer and for his frequent appearances on SNL. You will see him in the fantasy dramedy DEFENDING YOUR LIFE or the dark comedy CATCH 22 if you ever get around to reacting to them, both highly recommended.
    Ossie Davis (Chuck) had a very long career too. And you may have seen him in the Spike Lee breakout movie DO THE RIGHT THING. My favorite was THE SCALPHUNTERS from back in the '60s.
    Walther Matthau (Max) was as you recognized, in DENNIS THE MENACE. But he had a much longer career than that, one that started in the '50s where he generally played dramatic roles. And then in the mid '60s casting directors started to realize he was much better suited for light comedies. And that constitutes the bulk of his work since then. with a few dramas sprinkled in here and there.
    And Jack Lemmon (Gustafson) had an almost identical career to Matthau's that is maybe most memorable for the many movies he and Matthau were paired in. This is why they got the leads in this movie. It was kind of their swan song for their fans. They did a lot of Neil Simon comedies together but my favorite is JFK which you absolutely have to put on your must see list. One of my top ten favorite movies of all time.

      As to Matthau, my favorites of his serious movies where he had a starring role are LONELY ARE THE BRAVE, and A FACE IN THE CROWD. Of his lighter stuff he was perfectly cast as the reluctant little league coach in THE BAD NEWS BEARS.

    I’m from Minnesota and I remember when they shot certain scenes down the street from my house in St. Paul. This movie is so endearing to me although I’m African-American I definitely can relate.

    Walter Matthau & Jack Lemmon made many movies together. The fortune cookie in 1966 I believe was the first. Then after that one that really put them on the map was the Odd Couple in 1968. Then they did a couple of Grumpy old men movies in 1993 & Grumpier old men in 1995 & I believe their final movie together was Out to Sea which was fantastic. Great comedy team together. Walter Matthau died 3 years later after the Out To Sea movie. Jack Lemmon died a year later.

    Ann Margret and Burgess Meredith also worked together on 'Magic' (1978) starring Anthony Hopkins. It's a hugely under-appreciated horror film.

    Ann Margaret had a party to celebrate Elvis' birthday as she usually did and after getting close to many making this film she invited them to the party. In Hollywood Reporter it was reported Matthau along with Lemmon reminisced about there Odd Couple experience that had everyone laughing.

    I just love the Grumpy Old Men movies. The 2 Grumpy Old Men movies have a certain, lovely, warm charm to them.
    For example, I love how the scenery of the state of Minnesota is practically a co-star. In Grumpy Old Men we get to see how nice it looks with all that snow and ice. And in Grumpier Old Men we get to see what it looks like underneath all that snow and ice. Just beautiful. The small hometown feel also really adds to the charm. Makes one want to move there to live and hopefully have Max, John, Pop, Ariel, Maria (and all the others) as neighbors.

    Ok guys. If you think that was good. Now you have to watch Walter and Jack in their original duo, The Odd Couple (1968). A 5 season tv series was made with different actors after the movie.

    Grumpy Old Men is one of my favorite movies but in all honesty I think the second one "Grumpier Old Men" is better than the first one.
    The acting chemistry between Jack Lemon and Walter Matthau is legendary.
    Both are class acts.
    Then you cast a woman with the class and sex appeal of Ann-Margret making it even better.
    That woman is like a fine wine.
    But of course who cannot talk about the comedy of Burgess Meredith in this film?
    He played the father perfectly.
    Honestly, the entire cast is a roll call of shining stars.

    How you guys not recognize Micky from Rocky? That's Burgess Meredith. He was also the Penguin on the Adam West Batman show. Jack Lemmon and Walter Mattheiu have been doing movies together since the 1968 movie The Odd Couple. Which is pretty damn hilarious. Its about two polarizing roommates, one is a neat freak, and the other is a slob.

  • @susanworkman529
    @susanworkman529 11 месяцев назад

    The sequel is funnier. Glad you enjoyed this movie. It's a classic!
    The old man, John's pop is Burgess Meridith. If you've seen the Rocky movies, he's Rocky's manager Mickey.
    Ariel is the famous actress/singer Ann-Margret. She was in the movies Bye-Bye Birdie and Viva Las Vegas with Elvis and had a relationship with Elvis for awhile.. Check out the video from the movie where Elvis and Ann sinjg the song, " The Lady Loves Me"
    Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon did 3 or 4 movies together; they made a great team.
    John's daughter is the actress Daryl Hannah. She was in "Splash" with Tom Hanks and "Steel Magnolias" with Dolly Parton and Sally Fields.
    I think you are right that Walter was in Dennis the Menace.
    If you haven't watched "Steel Magnolias" yet it's a must.
