Grumpy Old Men Collection

The Grumpy Old Men collection (1993–1995) follows the escalating, comical feud between lifelong Minnesota neighbors and fishing buddies John Gustafson (Jack Lemmon) and Max Goldman (Walter Matthau). As they vie for the affections of a new neighbor, Ariel (Ann-Margret), and later battle a restaurant owner (Sophia Loren), they find friendship, romance, and lasting reconciliation.
