	Grumpy Old Men (1993) - A Review by David Nusair (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Grumpy Old Men is the film that brought the careers of both Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau back into the spotlight.
		Lemmon and Matthau play two old men that have known one another for over 50 years and have spent most of that time hating each other.
		Grumpy Old Men is a great starting point for those unfamiliar with Matthau and Lemmon and also for fans of the duo, it's a treat seeing them together.

	THE CINEMA LASER LASERDISC REVIEW-- GRUMPIER OLD MEN
		GRUMPIER OLD MEN ($35) is the warm and often hilarious sequel to GRUMPY OLD MEN.
		It seems the two old cranks have been allowed to participate in the planning of the wedding, and are turning the affair into a three ring circus.
		GRUMPIER OLD MEN is a delightful film that proves that the youth market doesn’t have the entire film industry sewn up.

	DVDCC.COM: Grumpy Old Men DVD REVIEW
		Watching two old pros like Lemmon and Matthau throw acidic barbs at each other is a lot of fun (they great each other with “moron” and “putz”).
		Audio: Grumpy Old Men is presented in Dolby digital two-channel surround, but you'd never know it.
		Conclusion: Grumpy Old Men isn't exactly a groundbreaking film, but it is an exceedingly entertaining way to watch a stellar cast do what they do best.

		Even though he was young, my father was a grumpy old man and, at 43, I have long been one.
		Grumpy Old Men is supposed to be about how love reinvents life and I'm not even really sure where it gets lost, but it ends up going nowhere.
		Seven years of film footage went into this perceptive documentary about girls who play high school basketball, the situations unique to their gender, and their marginalization by the school administration.

	Grumpy Old Men Movie Review
		GRUMPY OLD MEN, on the other hand, is such a film, and while it won't come close to my top 10 best list for 1993, it will be right up there among the pictures that I had the most fun watching.
		Lemmon and Matthau are perfect for their roles as lifelong sparring partners, and while the development of John and Max as individuals is lacking, their relationship is brought into sharp focus.
		Most of those that attend a showing of GRUMPY OLD MEN will leave the theater with a smile on their face, which is basically what the movie is going for.

		Tensions between our grumpy old men are escalated with the arrival of new neighbour Ariel Truax, played by Ann-Margret, as both men try their best to gain the attentions of Ariel.
		Judged in isolation, the framing of the old transfer seems fine, however when compared to the 16x9 transfer of the PAL release it does occasionally feels a little confined.
		Aliasing was not an issue with this new release, nor was it on the old one.

	Grumpy Old Men -- The Musical ?????
		Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau had a late career hit with "Grumpy Old Men," in which they played two crotchety neighbors whose intense dislike for each other only grows when they begin competing for the affections of sexy new neighbor Ann-Margret.
		The film produced a sequel, "Grumpier Old Men," in 1995.
		"Grumpy Old Men" is only the latest film property to be developed into a musical.

		But what was worse than being proven right was that apparently the film was not simply meant to be funny, but was deliberately and calculatingly meant to be derogatory and insulting to the title group.
		Not only old men but sex, too, is another of the few things left that everybody still seems to think is funny.
		If such are shown in films they have never been, at least recently, to my knowledge, since the age of liberation, as the butt of an on-going, two-hour long joke.

	The Rugged Elegance World Marketplace \| DVD : Grumpier Old Men
		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.
		Although GRUMPIER OLD MEN is merely a rehashing of its predecessor, it's worth watching to see the glowing mature beauty of both Sophia Loren (looking absolutely gorgeous)and Ann-Margret.
		Grumpier Old Men is a funny and cute movie and I love Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon who made a perfect duo but what I hate is that the DVD is fullscreen and not widescreen.

		The problem is, 11 1/2 years later, "Grumpy Old Men" isn't as good as many remember it.
		Both men are immediately smitten, and their little fights become an all out war.
		By the time Lemmon's character suffers a heart attack, the film becomes achingly predictable, and while the outtakes at the end are funny, I still felt underwhelmed.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		It's the kind of movie one generally describes with somewhat faint-praise adjectives like "cute," or "fun," or "entertaining." GRUMPY OLD MEN is all of these things, to a point.
		For all its manufactured whimsy, GRUMPY OLD MEN is basically a sit-com, a moderately diverting 105-minute episode of "The Golden Boys." The GRUMPY OLD MEN of the title are John Gustafson (Jack Lemmon) and Max Goldman (Walter Matthau), 50-year acquaintances and next-door neighbors in Wabasha, MN who carry on a long-standing feud.
		There are enough chuckles in the film to make it a decent matinee diversion, but overall GRUMPY OLD MEN relies far too much on the history between Lemmon and Matthau, and far too little on anything particularly clever in Mark Steven Johnson's script.

		That script is "Grumpy Old Men," which has the two playing their own ages — Lemmon is 68 and Matthau is 73 — as a pair of curmudgeons, former childhood pals, who still live next door to each other in a small Minnesota suburb.
		Both men have allowed their lives to deteriorate to a rut, and they've become complacent and stale.
		But there is a third grumpy old man here, Burgess Meredith as Lemmon's foul-mouthed, 94-year-old father — a scene-stealing part if ever there was one.

	CANOE -- JAM! - Jack Lemmon is surprised by the success of the Grumpy Old Men franchise
		In February, Lemmon is scheduled to star in a television film version of the play 12 Angry Men with director William Friedkin, and has an American adaptation of a French hit lined up (he can't remember the title, in English or in French).
		Making movies such as the Grumpy flicks and The Grass Harp, because of the connection with the Matthau clan, is enriching his mature years, Lemmon says.
		Instead of having a slate of films from the studio, each film is going to have to live or die (on its own).

		Sometimes the films I enjoy the most aren't the ones that get four stars.
		Farewell My Concubine is an example of superior, powerful film making, it isn't the sort of movie you embrace for the pure magic of the entertainment it offers.
		Most attending a showing of Grumpy Old Men will leave the theater with a smile, and that's bascially what the movie is aiming for.

		A genial old guy named Chuck (Ossie Davis) runs the bait and refreshment stand down by the lake, and for a time it looks as if he might have a chance with Ariel, but the screenplay puts a sudden end to that possibility.
		"Grumpy Old Men" is mostly made up out of spare parts from other movies.
		And in a holiday season where all of the other movies seem to specialize in varieties of doom and gloom, their grumpy old faces are actually the sunniest sight around.

		As 1993 drew to a close, movie-goers in search of light entertainment were treated to the delightful (if formulaic) Grumpy Old Men, a reunion of the often-paired odd couple of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.
		Grumpier Old Men picks up some six months after the end of the first movie.
		These particular grumpy old men have had their day.

		Max is unaware that John is having serious problems, chiefly that his daughter Melanie (Daryl Hannah) is experiencing marital woes and that his house is about to be confiscated by an officious IRS agent (Buck Henry).
		Despite their mutual loathing, the death of a friend, John's problems, and a budding romance between Max's son Jacob (Kevin Pollak) and Melanie may force the two old friends to reconcile.
		The plot, two old men after a beautiful middle aged widow, is ripe comedy fodder, but often is sidetracked.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Guardian daily comment \| Timothy Garton Ash: Grumpy old men
		The truth is that we are all together receding to old Europe: a continent of constantly shifting alliances, with states pursuing public and secret diplomacy against each other in what the historian AJP Taylor called The Struggle for Mastery in Europe.
		But the point of the new Europe we old Europeans are supposed to be building together is, precisely, to do something new.
		France and Britain are like Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon in the film Grumpy Old Men, two ludicrous, grisly old-timers hurling childish insults and playing silly tricks on each other.

	GRUMPY OLD MEN (An Illusion review by Joan Ellis.) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The frozen Minnesota landscape is a great setting for the shenanigans, and the premise is funny: two old men obsessed with ice fishing and Ann-Margaret.
		"Grumpy Old Men" is a two-man war story set in frozen Minnesota.
		As merry a widow as ever we've seen, she drops from nowhere into the arms of John and Max, a piece of spun sugar, an apparition rolling naked in the snow after her sauna, an unearthly being who has decided to marry whichever man in Wabasha will make her happy.

	Grumpy Old Men Movie Review
		The film GRUMPY OLD MEN has been around a while but I have deliberately avoided seeing it.
		Yet somehow it is still okay to make fun of old men who, often, are all three.

	NealKarlen.com: New York Times Articles > Ice in the Belly
		Abie Schwartz, a reigning philosopher-king among Minnesota ice fishermen, wasn't flattered last month when a man he gruffly refers to as "your typical Hollywood smoothie" asked him to serve as an adviser on a big-budget movie about to be shot on a frozen lake near Minneapolis.
		The Warner Bros. film, "Grumpy Old Men," stars Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau as two hard-boiled lifelong enemies who finally discover the meaning of life -- and each other -- while pursuing the peculiar pleasure of yanking fish out of 10-inch holes cut through two-foot-thick Minnesota lake ice.
		Nearby at Lake Rebecca, actual fishing was taking place on the set of "Grumpy Old Men." There, despite Abie Schwartz's decision not to get himself or his friends mixed up with Hollywood, the producers somehow managed to corral enough genuine ice fishermen to make the background look real.

		In Grumpy Old Men, lifelong friends and neighbors John Gustafson (Jack Lemmon) and Max Goldman (Walter Matthau) trade jibes on a daily basis against the backdrop of the frozen Minnesota tundra.

		Ariel befriends both men who act as if they aren't interested in her because of their inner fears of leaving their comfort zone.

		there is something about some old people how they dont like it when a younger person touches something that was established earlier by a previous generation I think.
		In kind, Spielberg told Bradbury that "CE3K" was Bradbury's film (after the great author saw the film, Spielberg was said to ask him, "so how do you like your film?") in reference to the huge influence the Bradbury penned "It Came from Outer Space" had on Spielberg's story of benevolent visitors.
		The fact that the writer you quoted couches Bradbury's quote within his own hugely negative writing may give Bradbury's sound byte a bit more teeth by association, but it would be nice to hear more about what his thoughts on it are.
