Editorial Reviews

Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are reunited in this popular 1993 comedy, in which the Odd Couple veterans play John and Max (respectively), a pair of elderly bachelors whose lifelong friendship is based on mutual aggravation and constant bickering. Their competitive natures kick into overdrive when the beautiful Ariel (Ann-Margret) moves into their otherwise snowbound Minnesota neighborhood. She takes a liking to John, but after a lover's spat she also gives Max a chance at romance, and the long-time buddies reach a peak of grumpy rivalry. It's a stretch to think that Ann-Margret's dating choices would be limited to a pair of grouchy codgers, but sarcastic attitude and snappy dialogue made this a surprise hit (followed by a 1995 sequel), and Burgess Meredith adds plenty of spice as Lemmon's amorous old father. Don't forget to watch the hilarious outtakes during the closing credits! --Jeff Shannon

1.0 out of 5 stars Grumpy Old Consumer..., August 24, 2006

By	S. M. McNamara "[e-mail]" (Fullerton, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Grumpy Old Men/Grumpier Old Men (DVD)

I knew one day Warner Bros. would put these great movies in Widescreen and thus, help me add them to my shelves. But today is not that day! After seeing this advertised as Widescreen on this website and the Warner Home Video website, I was beside myself with glee and anticipation. I went to four different stores in California, and found that each time I went to purchase, the back of the DVD read, Includes full screen version. Confused I bought it anyway. Thinking maybe the back was a mis-print? Or maybe it meant, includes widescreen and full screen. I was wrong... On both counts! So when I contacted Warner Home Video, and nasty Nurse Ratched answered the phone and told me that "If I didn't buy it on their website then what did they care that it was being advertised wrongfully", I knew that these movies would not find a place on my DVD shelves anytime soon.
Buyer beware! This is not only being advertised wrongly but, no one will care once you purchased it!

1.0 out of 5 stars It is Full Screen & is falsely being advertised as WS!, August 19, 2006

By	Bill J. Thomann (Port Charlotte, Fl United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Grumpy Old Men/Grumpier Old Men (DVD)

This is the same transfer as the original release except on one disc (2 sided) & in a keep case. It is NOT Anamorphic or even letterboxed Widescreen. A lot of these babies will be being returned due to false advertising.

1.0 out of 5 stars Widescreen ... That's a big LIE !!!, August 24, 2006

By	TomT - See all my reviews

This review is from: Grumpy Old Men/Grumpier Old Men (DVD)

I've been waiting for years since the LaserDisc release.
What's up with this. Advertised as WS, but on the back clearly states FS.

As Ray Davies said ... "Give the People what they want!"

WE DON'T WANT THIS
