    I was pleasantly surprised by this film.  Wasn't expecting it to be
    much, but I really enjoyed it.  The chemistry between this experienced
    and talented cast made a simple story come to life.  The comedy is
    strong in the first half of the film - almost frivolous as you watch
    the antics of the two adult "juveniles", then moves to a more
    bittersweet come-drama the second half.  
    
    Burgess Meredith as the crusty, sex-driven 90 year old father is
    priceless.  Be sure to stay through the credits, where some of the
    funniest lines in the movie are!
    
    I'm looking forward to viewing this again when it comes out on video.

    This is now out on video - just rented it. I had high expections for
    the movie given the actors involved and I must say that I was not
    disappointed.
    
    Really liked this  movie - lots of good one liners and, as said before,
    Burgess Meridith as the crusty 90-something father is great. That the
    movie also had serious undertones made it even better.
    
    Credits are great too!
    
    Will anyone who sees this ever be able to hear the word "PUTZ" and not
    think of this movie? It reminded me of "on golden pond" when Katherine
    Hepburn kept calling Henry Fonda "an old poop" and that phrase seemed
    to catch on.

    Saw a quick blurb that they are filming a sequel to this... I think
    they called it "Grumpier old men" or something like that. Walter Mathau
    (sp? on all names questionable), Jack Lemon and Daryl Hannah still
    there and the "female" interest this time seems to be Sophia Loren.
    
    Release date sometime around or after xmas 95.

    Loved "Grumpy Old Men" due to the one liners and the great chemistry
    between Walter and Jack.  Burgess is freakin hilarious with all his
    sexual innuendos!!!
    
    I just got to see the sequal to this flick, "Grumpier Old Men" and was
    just as pleased with this one.  Much of the same stuff, with a hint of
    cheese, but still hilarious at times.  Those credits are the icing on
    the cake!
    
    Slight spoiler:
    
    
    During the final credits...
    Walter to Sophie (still a Babe) Loren after they bump into each other
    at the supermarket...
    "Why don't you watch where the f*** you're goin'?"
    
    Busted a gut for that one!

    Rented this one without realizing that it wasn't "Grumpier Old Men".
    I loved it.  It's light and entertaining.  Sit through the movie to
    the very very end.  The best parts are there.  Looking forward to
    seing the sequel.

    Rented the sequal - Grumpier old Men - a few weeks ago. Another good
    movie. Good interaction, still two old crusty guys playing practical
    jokes. Cast is great, other than daryl hannah. shows up pretty weak in
    the company of all those other "greats".
    
    Burgess Meridith again almosts steals the show - and Sophia Loren
    character's mother is great!  
    
    Though I still have a hard time believing Walter Mathau (sp?) as a love
    interest (and haven't for years).
    
    Liked it enough, have bought it for the laser disk collection.

    > and Sophia Loren characater's mother is great!
    
    Did she look familiar?  I love her!  Long ago, she played.... (drum
    roll)...

    Millie??? Geeessssss! No wonder she looked familiar but I could't place
    her. Too bad none of the characters were named Rob or Laura, then I
    probably would have placed her right away.
    
    There are several older female actors that have been "blending"in my
    mind's eye and can't figure out where/what they have been in.
    
    thanks!!!

    You're welcome :-)  Not that I can remember the actress' name or
    anything, though!
    
    I'm famous for missing up to 10 minutes of the plot of any given movie
    because I'm trying to figure out where the heck I saw somebody before. 
    Latest example of that was Saturday night, a supporting player in
    "Emma".  (When I get a Round Tuit I may start a topic for "Emma": loved
    it!)
    
    Leslie

    
    	Yes, I bet I can ... what's in it for me?  8^)
    
    	I never miss any of the plot, but I do keep the face in the
    	back of my mind until I can figure out where I saw him/her.
    
    	Like in a recent "Outer Limits" episode, "The Vanishing Act",
    	with Jon Cryer.  His wife looked very familiar, but I had a
    	very hard time figuring out who she was.  I actually watched
    	it almost 3 times before I finally caught the beginning cred-
    	its and realized her name was Jessica Lundy, and even that
    	didn't help.  But I finally remembered that she was in "Hope
    	and Gloria" with Cynthia Stevenson.

    Saw Grumpier Old Men last night (again).
    
    How old is Walter Mathau ?
    
    I'd put him in his mid seventies but was wondering if he is older.
