This time, John and Max team up to shut down a restaurant that's replaced their favorite bait shop. However, amid their scheming, Max manages to fall in love with Maria, who runs the eatery with her mother. 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.

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

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

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