Grumpy Old Men

Next-door neighbors John Gustafson and Max Goldman are Grumpy Old Men. And since they’re played by Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, they’re also Funny Old Men. In this hilarious and heartwarming matchup, the curmudgeons’ long-running feud becomes an all-out rivalry when an attractive widow (Ann-Margret) moves in across the street. Snowy Minnesota provides the setting as Max and John unleash an uproarious blizzard of practical jokes and zingers. Burgess Meredith, Daryl Hannah, Ossie Davis, Kevin Pollak and Buck Henry add star-packed support to snow-packed shenanigans that “will cure your blahs and jump-start your heart” (Rex Reed, The New York Observer).
