Trivia

At the end of the theatrical trailer, there is an outtake of Walter Matthau in the bath tub saying directly into the camera "If I'd known there was going to be a nude scene, I would've asked for an extra million." The crew found this so hilarious, they ended up using it as a post credits scene. See more »

Crazy Credits

After the wedding, the limo window opens, and a hand, presumably Jack Lemmon's, drops a dead fish onto the pavement. Walter Matthau is standing on the sidewalk, enjoying the moment. Jack Lemmon comes up quietly alongside, and asks him, "Who left?" Matthau does a double- take, and shakes his head, laughing. See more »

A family reunion
1 August 2005 | by (Bellingham, WA) – See all my reviews

It is sad to watch this wonderful film and realize that most of the actors in it are dead. Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Burgess Meredith, Ozzie Davis...all fine men whose loss to movie goers is felt- at least by this one. Ann-Margret, Darryl Hannah, Kevin Pollak, while still among us, are also perfect for their parts.

Every time I watch "Grumpy Old Men" I sense the camaraderie and fun the cast and crew must have had in making it. It is a family reunion, and the audience is the more fortunate for being invited.

Thank you all for braving the Minnesota winter to remind us of snow angels and tea tree oil; of old friends and Thanksgivings shared; of warmth in the deepest cold.
