It’s not quite as efficient as the first, but it’s much better than whatever the hell those reviews were in 1995. Those movie critics had no damn idea what was coming in the streaming age.

This classic sequel to Grumpy Old Men was great. Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, Burgess Meredith, Ann-Margret, Sophia Loren, Daryl Hannah, Kevin Pollak, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. The story of the movie was entertaining and humorous. It's just like the first movie and it's just as funny. If you haven't seen this classic sequel yet, you should watch it sometime. It's a must see.
