This time, John and Max team up to shut down a restaurant that's replaced their favorite bait shop.

Meanwhile, the wedding between Max's son and John's daughter is called off, which causes the two elderly men to begin feuding once again.

[DVD Details]
  • Grumpier Old Men
  • 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!"

    Moderately successful sequel. Lemmon and Matthau always a great team to watch.

    Not as good as the first, but it's seldom less than amusing.

    Nowhere near as funny as the first film. Just a stale, tired rehash.

    The heart of the first one is replaced by extra fart jokes.
