| Muze Description |
| This sequel to 1993's GRUMPY OLD MEN finds the crochety seniors still full of venom for each other, even when a gorgeous Italian woman moves in and threatens to turn their local bait store into a restaurant. |
| Synopsis |
| The hilarious, bickering neighbors from "Grumpy Old Men" return in this entertaining sequel. 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. |
|
| Also returning for the sequel is John's father, a hilariously dirty old man who woos Maria's prudish mother. |

| Mediocre films are making me a Grumpier Old Man
by trailhound, 12/7/2005 |

Pros: Humorous one liners. Seeing Matthau and Lemon in same movie. Cinematography.
Cons: Thin plot - very similar to original film. Jokes and gags become predictable.
The Bottom Line: Grumpier Old Men is funny, but predictable. It may be worth watching once, but only once.
Review: I’m not sure why but I seemed to have missed most of the “must see films” in the 1990s.
