| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Grumpy Old Men |
|---|
Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau team up as John and Max, neighbors of 50 years who hate each other. When Ariel (Ann-Margret) moves in across the street, they take their rivalry to new heights. However, they are forced to work together when it looks like their children might actually fall in love. Burgess Meredith makes a hilarious appearance as John's 90-something double entendre spouting father.
