The words cannot describe the feeling this movie lifted up. The acting is superbe, the snowy scenes are delightful, the spirit of the film is marvellous. One of the few films that got me laughing and one minute after shedding tears. Recommended for anyone who likes to cheer up!

Grumpy Old Men is a great reminder that if the goal is happiness there are no risks in life, only experiences, and we should not regret what we did do, we should regret the things we didn't do. Just awesome. Watch it!

A surprise hit for stars Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau that demonstrated the lasting box office appeal of their pairing even into their seventies, Grumpy Old Men is a wonderfully funny and sometimes touching story that makes excellent use of the comedy duo’s inimitable chemistry. Also counting among its cast a cackling Burgess Meredith as Lemmon’s character’s father and Ann-Margret as the new addition to the neighbourhood with whom the feuding old neighbours both immediately fall in love, it’s a film that capitalises well upon the comedic potential it comes loaded with. Even so, there’s a strangely affecting underlying sadness to proceedings, a reluctant acknowledgement of mortality and the inevitability of physical decline that roots the laughs in something more tragic. Lemmon and Matthau are both as good as ever they were, and it’s delightful to see in the brilliant closing credit outtakes that they enjoy each other’s company just as much as we do.

Unquestionably silly, but I don't care: this is a feel-good picture, packed with great lines and quotable insults. One to file with the (good) Vacation movies as unfuckwithable.

Funny and one of the few movies to purposefully have old man humour and being successful. Very funny and is interesting because you don't expect the humour that is displayed but you end up laughing so much.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

A story about two men, two frenemies as you will, who have been fighting with each other for most of their lives. Things don't change once a woman moves in next door.

Seriously funny, seriously good. That fist fight between Jack Lemmon & Walter Matthau is freaking hysterical. I couldn't stop laughing. Haven't seen this film in years but it still holds up. No matter what age you are, if your an adult you can relate to these guys.

"I think I disagree with the description of film as a comedy - it made me cry throughout, although the end credits were very funny and shouldn't be missed. I'm not even sure quite what it was that made me like the film so much - perhaps it's just the excellence of Lemmon and Matthau on screen together."
