First Time Watching Grumpier Old Men (1995) *I CRIED!!*

[@markhanus2386]

I worked for 3 days on this film as an extra in the wedding scenes at the end. I got to work with all the stars except Burgess Merideth as he had wrapped his shooting prior to me being on set. Had a wonderful 1/2 hour chat with Jack Lemon during lunch one day. Great memories.

[@katreacts6843]

No way! That's awesome :D Thanks for watching! :D

[@pokerhulk52]

I am jealous. Jack Lemmon seemed like a great guy.

[@WilliamScavengerFish]

The bloopers are always a pleaser.

[@BigGator5]

Pops is indeed the best. 😎 Speaking of Burgess Meredith... Trivia: This was Burgess Meredith's last film. He died of complications of Alzheimer's disease on September 9, 1997. He showed symptoms at the time of this movie's filming, and had to be coached during each scene in which he appeared. Meredith's acting talents are evident despite his failing mental faculties.

[@katreacts6843]

He truly was one of a kind and he brought a whole lot to these films for sure.

[@SpencerMDay]

These two guys, in these two films, are my favorite. When you were talking about “Pops” being your spirit animal, i knew you were not going to be happy with his passing. Great reaction.

[@katreacts6843]

Oh, his passing broke my heart! What a roller coaster ride! Thanks for watching :)

[@evanirvana500]

You missed the blooper reel. Had great stuff with your spirit animal.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

it's always good to see more people finding these movies and realizing how great they were, underrated would be criminally exaggerated, these are the buried gold that Hollywood has lost to time! RIP to Matthau, Lemmon and Meredith, 3 stars who only got better with age.

[@chrisbaughman9860]

Burgess Meredith when they said cut he got a standing ovation as this was his final film by this point his Alzheimer's symptoms began to show he had to be coached in every scene he was in

[@andrewstack9980]

You forgot the outtakes!!!

[@tarheelron68]

You have to react to bloopers and outake reel.. that's the funniest part

[@stillaboveground2470]

John: "So tell me, was it more of a hold up than a stick up?" LOL

[@ravendarkauthor4939]

"Although they didn't have to kill Pops. They could have had him marry the crazy Italian lunatic..." LMAO. Classic. Love it.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

tbh Pops had to die so that those damn kids would put their little spat behind them, and fix everything. he had to break the fight up before did he not? Pops is the only one that they would BOTH listen to, besides he was 95, it was his time.

[@bluebear1985]

Burgess Meredith was definitely one of the great actors of his time. Another well known role he had was in the first three films of the "Rocky" franchise as Mickey Goldmill, Rocky's trainer and coach.

[@katreacts6843]

Was that him? Oh, wow! Now I have to re-watch Rocky! Thanks for watching :D

[@BoomerandZoomerReacts]

He was great in the Twilight zone 3 different episode's

[@Drawkcabi]

Rocky is my #1 favorite film of all time! And I adore the entire franchise and the Creed one too. Meredith was also The Penguin in the Adam West Batman series. Each famous actor who has brilliantly played The Joker can argue who has the best take on the "Joker laugh", but Meredith's Penguin squawk-laugh is unmatched!

[@laudanum669]

Iv'e seen this before and I knew Pops was going to die but it brought me to tears. Two months ago my Grampa died at the age of 96. Burgess reminds of Grampa he was independent right til the end, living in his own apartment, still driving and enjoying life. He took a fall and died two days later. It was sad but we should all be so lucky to live that long with that independence.

[@mage1439]

Sad to hear this, but also happy that he had that kind of life.

[@TimSmith-uc4pk]

R.I.P. Jack, Walter and Burgess.

[@LordVolkov]

Jack Lemmon has some great comedies under his belt. I love him in My Fellow Americans, and of course the classic Some Like It Hot.

[@katreacts6843]

I need to check them out. Thank you for watching! :D

[@Drawkcabi]

I was going to ask you to please make an exception for the movie The-Out-of-Towners because it's from 1970 not the 80's or 90's. It stars Jack Lemon and Sandy Dennis and is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen! There is also The Odd Couple with Lemon and Matthau which is a classic!!! And there is The Sunshine Boys with Walter Matthau and George Burns, another classic! But in my opinion if you are going to see any of them, it needs to be The-Out-of-Towners. Lemon and Matthau also made Out To Sea and The Odd Couple II after they made Grumpier Old Men. Neither are as good as the Grumpy movies but Out To Sea comes closest and they are still worth watching. Best Regards!!!

[@katreacts6843]

@@Drawkcabi I can make an exception :) I have seen the poster for The Out Of Towners, starring Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn, but I have never seen that one. I didn't know there was another one before that :)

[@Drawkcabi]

@@katreacts6843 Yep, the Steve Martin one is a remake and as much as I like both him and Goldie Hawn, it's very inferior to the original film. For a much better Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn movie I suggest House Sitter. The original The-Out-of-Towners is a gem of a movie. It's director Arthur Hiller has made many movies I love! Silver Streak Hear No Evil, See No Evil Teachers Taking Care of Business The Babe But if you see only one movie of his, see The-Out-of-Towners! Best Regards!

[@anthonyrome7543]

Definitely see My Fellow Americans. Has a similar tone to these films.

[@JamesASharp]

A reaction to the sequel. You're the first to do so. Nice.

[@katreacts6843]

Thanks :D Just didn't seem to do this masterpiece a justice to only react to the first one :D

[@rittherugger160]

Decades before the "Grumpy movies" Lemmon and Matthau worked together in "The Odd Couple". Give it a watch.

[@kendallcarstens9194]

Pops died at his second favorite place. His first favorite place was at his lady's place.

[@michaelwood8759]

I just went Ice fishing today here in Maine "USA" !! The Vid we had going in the shack was "Grumpy Old Men" :)

[@Livithen86]

Was gonna be a third called grumpiest old men but unfortunately the great walter matthau had passed away, makes you wonder what the premise for the third film was about seeing as the first was overall about gustafson being in love and getting married the second was about max being in love and getting married so what was the main idea for grumpiest. Maybe both families rivaling about something important as each pranks the others ect who knows seeing as the main cast including both kids are a couple and no more room for falling in love plot, unless they had plans to do a time skip to where everyone is older including the young daughter from her failed relationship but it makes you wonder the possibilities.

[@laudanum669]

The grocery store scene with Burgess Meredith was filmed at my local supermarket. Many other scenes were shot in my area.

[@billhicks6449]

Sofia Loren still looking beautiful.

[@katreacts6843]

She is truly gorgeous :) Thank you for watching :)

[@theairwaybat1830]

One of the rare occasions where the sequel is just as good, if not better than the first

[@theolamp5312]

Ann Margaret & Sophia Loren - who could ask for anything more. Well, Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau & Burgess Meredith. Accomplished actors who are always on top of their game. They all combine to make this film a treasure. Trivia (but not trivial) - Sophia defied her stereotype and won an Oscar for her role in Two Women.

[@dizzynikki5912]

So refreshing for a true, straight out your mind opinion/response...

[@ollietsb1704]

There are a couple of other films with Burgess Meredith that were all grand exercises and convinced me that sometimes - simply puttinga classic actor into the film - makes the whole film classier to begin with.

[@katreacts6843]

I didn't even know about Burgess Meredith until I watched these films and he is now one of my favorites :D

[@kcirtapelyk6060]

Pops is my spirit animal too

[@christhornycroft3686]

Now you have to check out the Odd Couple, 1 and 2, movies. So good. And if you're interested in a good Christmas movie, A Christmas Story is a good bet. One of my favourites.

[@TheFanboy19]

Maria: I haven't been with a man in a long time. Max: Me neither. 😆 LOL

[@zzzroxyzzz]

I love this movie, I used to watch this and first wives club (you would LOVE that one) all the time lol

[@Hexcaliblur83]

Honestly, there are worse ways to die than choking to death on a stack of pancakes.. 🤷🤣

[@thecoolunclea.k.a.unclebea1158]

I love your reactions. Only one to review these great movies

[@katreacts6843]

Thank you :D And thanks for watching :D

[@JasonD7726]

Did you get to watch the bloopers after both movies

[@gawainethefirst]

That dog, Lucky.

[@jonrhoten7477]

I love this movie sequel

[@dwhorton1]

Now that you've seen Grumpy Old Men and its sequel, you should check out Out to Sea. The final time Lemmon and Matthau acted in the same movie, sadly.

[@katreacts6843]

Oh, that one will definitely make me cry won't it? I will put it on my list :D

[@dwhorton1]

It’s actually really heartwarming and doesn’t have any real sad moments that I recall. In many ways it’s the funniest of the three.

[@JordanCe-lh3ny]

It'll be cool if you review pow wow highway (1989) or Indian in the cupboard (1995)

[@Rickyyspano]

Kat! You gotta watch Copycat (1995). Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter. awesome movieeeee

[@katreacts6843]

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll write it down on my list! :) And thanks for watching! :D

[@JordanCe-lh3ny]

Hi ☺️👋 from north Dakota and I'm native American and I say that your looking beautiful and I say I still got this pow wow to go to this month I'm gonna go dancing I'm excited about it but I have hurt my ankle the other day and I don't know if I can dance now

[@Hellseeker1]

Pops was the best

[@jameskoralewski1006]

At your reaction to Grumpier Old Men, you cut off the movie too soon and missed all the outtakes. Here they all are at this video link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnebpKKnjcRpodk

[@katreacts6843]

I watched the outtakes and I loved it :) But KZbin is a funny thing you see, sometimes I get away with almost a half an hour-long video, sometimes I have to cut them down to almost nothing to avoid copyright claims. And so, to take no chances, I try to only show what is relevant to the story, in order for my viewers to get some context (especially for those who may not have seen the film in its entirety before). This means sometimes cutting out stuff that I wished I could keep in, such as outtakes :) But I assure you, I watched and I loved :D

[@mikegreene8461]

You pause way too much....
