Holy moly...

The outtakes..

[@DinoNardelli]

Yesss!! And the outtakes are epic again!

Agree. Love both but 2 just came completes it

[@muc405]

Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau were in 10 films together during their careers and became best friends so it’s obvious the chemistry is there as they riff off one another. To see another great movie they co-starred in PLEASE check out “The Odd Couple” from 1968. It’s a classic!

[@vytallicaq.6881]

Also "The Bad News Bears" and "The Out-of-Towners". They weren't together in those, but they were funny.

[@nanoeletron]

That's my fav!

[@stebstebanesier6205]

"We are out of cornflakes F.U., do you know how long it took me to figure out that meant Felix Unger?"

[@dondebomm6329]

They did a remake in the 90's that is worth watching too.

[@SwiftFoxProductions]

Yes, yes, yes!! "The Odd Couple" is a must see! It wasn't their first film together but, it was the movie that really established Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon as a great comedic duo. 😊

[@michaelaldan4354]

to this day...I still say "..Holy Moly.." never gets old...rest in peace Mr. Lemmon and Mr. Matthau...and Mr. Meredith, true actors, true craftsmen

[@pamgray7410]

Ariel was played by the legendary Ann Margaret. She sang & danced in a movie with Elvis & many other big names. I absolutely love your reaction.

[@MasterBiffpudwell]

Grumpy Old Men is one of my favorite movies but in all honesty I think the second one "Grumpier Old Men" is better than the first one. The acting chemistry between Jack Lemon and Walter Matthau is legendary. Both are class acts. Then you cast a woman with the class and sex appeal of Ann-Margret making it even better. That woman is like a fine wine. But of course who cannot talk about the comedy of Burgess Meredith in this film? He played the father perfectly. Honestly, the entire cast is a roll call of shining stars.

[@SwiftFoxProductions]

You're not the first person I've heard say they like Grumpier Old Men better. Honestly, I think they're both great! But, yes!! I hope they watch Grumpier Old Men too 'cause it is great. (Adding Sophia Loren to the mix was genius).

This movie was a great opportunity for a younger audience to appreciate some of the funniest people ever to appear on film. Literal legends that make it look easy. ✌️

Facts! Burgis Merideth, Jack lemon and Walter Matthau were all complete studs in the comedy game 🤌 absolute legends that I'm glad to have frown up watching while they were all still alive

[@chriskievit1963]

100% agree. I watch both movies at least once a year. So cool younger people are seeing this great movie and find it great as well.

[@singingwolf3929]

​@brooksysdead pretty sure you meant "grown up watching..." I only say this because "frown" is pretty harsh 😂

[@vancelubben5300]

They have a music channel too. I'd have them react to the Rascals next. One of their grooves were playing when John and Ariel were on the snowmobile. Too many of those bands from the 60's were overshadowed by the Beatles

[@ElwoodG59]

As a True Born Minnesotan I can confirm that there is always that much snow. Its normal for there to be snow on the the ground until late april.

[@thorfinsky1427]

* Usually.....not always.

[@shannoniceman1541]

Definitely not this year lol!! I love brown Christmases!!!

[@98talberg]

Yea, this year almost nothing all winter then 1ft+ after spring

[@sandman_says_runrunner4701]

Actually, the rolling in the snow after being in the sauna is a real thing, we also do it sitting in hot tubs. The shock going from hot to cold and back again is therapeutic. So she wasn't being dramatic or showing off... she was just reacting to the shocking cold. EDIT: Funny enough... that is Micky from "Rocky" (Burgess Meredith).

[@SteveSwags]

Yep! Sauna to snow and back is great! Same with a hot tub.

[@joanward1578]

Grandpa was the original Penguin in the TV Batman series and Rocky's coach.

[@Carrie-so3ro]

He was also in Foul Play with Goldie Hawn & Chevy Chase. What a great funny movie that was.

[@WolfsDE]

Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men are comedy classics. So damn funny. And it is Mickey from Rocky. He was in a lot of movies and tv shows over the years. You can find him in the original Clash of the Titans.

[@vapoet]

He was also the original Penguin in Batman.

[@rebeccaclementz3756]

The Batman TV series from the 60s.

[@NathanThurberMusic]

He was in a couple of the original twilight zone episodes too

[@gregfoster4541]

Burgess Merrideth

[@WolfsDE]

I am very aware of who he was. I grew up watching the Batman reruns in the 80's on Nickelodeon. I also remember him from The Twilight Zone. His episodes were usually among the best of the entire series. He was also in G.I. Joe the movie, The Hindenburg and Of Mice And Men, among other films.

[@paulonius42]

"She's not crazy. She's a literarure teacher." Y'all crack me up! 😅😅😂😂

[@oldgoat9227]

My wife is from Minnesota, and up there this is more of a documentary than a comedy.

[@jimtatro6550]

R.I.P. Walter Matthau, Jack Lemon, Ossie Davis and Burgess Meredith.

[@TheBriguy33]

This movie is a classic, and those outtakes at the end with Burgess Meredith, were the funniest part haha. I remember cracking up the first time I saw it. Still hilarious years later :)

[@a.j.nunnaurbiz6535]

You can tell how much fun Burgess was having in those outtakes! 🤣

[@randy6081]

whats most amazing is that Burgess Meridith Ad-Libbed all the lines in the scene thats why Jack Lemmon looks so surprised cause he didn't know what line Burgess Merideth was going to say next haha, most were a little to dirty for what the movie was rated for so they showed them in out takes at the end of the movie and i am sure glad they did cause they were hilarious, it shows what an old school actor could do and many of the greats like Burgess Merideth could do with Ad-Libbimg lines and made him such a great actor, my first memory of seeing him act was in the 1969 movie and then tv series Batman with Adam West and Burt Ward as the Penguin, R I P Burgess Merideth you are missed.

[@ddiamondr1]

These guys were two of the greatest actors of their generation. Jack Lemmon was known for comedy but in his later years, he did dramatic turns that were amazing and in fact, won him an Oscar. But before that, they were the original Odd Couple. You should check out that movie. It is a classic and they were both hilarious.

[@claytondietl8136]

Such a hilarious movie! You'll love the sequel 'Grumpier Old Men'. There are more 'Pop' outtakes at the end of that one too.

[@brianmcmaster5112]

Yes, it is indeed, Mr. Burgess Meredith who brilliantly played Mickey in the Rocky movies. He's also in the sequel.

[@TheRandwickboy]

These two were the Original THE ODD Couple. back in 1968 move . A 1960's comedy master piece. Totally worth watching another extremely funny film with these two.

[@davidcopple8071]

Thanks you two for giving a grumpy old grandpa a good laugh watching this movie. The only person in the world, my father, who is in his nineties. Called me and wished me happy Thanksgiving. Neither of my brothers, nor my daughter, granddaughter, or daughter in law even remembered me this year. They all have busy lives and I lost my wife three years ago. I live alone and KZbin and Facebook are most of my daily social interactions except for the three times a month that I go into town to buy groceries and fill my water jugs. Other than that. It's just me, my dog and my KZbin family. I always look forward to your videos. So when I saw that y'all uploaded a movie reaction today I was very happy and it's one of the better movies that you two have done lately. So I had my Banquet Turkey TV dinner and the one beer I saved and then enjoyed watching y'all react to the movie. Believe it or not. You two made this lonely thanksgiving just a little less lonely. Thank you both! ♥️

[@phillyphan1225]

Wish I knew you and could have wished you a happy Thanksgiving!! Even though you were alone I hope you had a pretty good one!

[@Carrie-so3ro]

I am sorry that you were alone this year. I am glad that you DID get a phone call & were remembered by your father. That was nice. I also find it nice to be able to turn to my favourite KZbinrs for their nice "company" & reactions. It does make you feel like they are there with you. I think that next year you should take charge of the holiday (& any others) for yourself! Make a point of calling your various family members YOURSELF & not wait for them to make the 1st move that may not come. That way you WILL get the conversation, even if only for a few minutes for each case. Maybe you know some other people who might also be alone at the holidays? It certainly is not uncommon at all unfortunately. Do your best to make it happy & don't leave it to circumstances, as we all know, circumstances don't always work out in our favour! I don't know if it's possible for you, but if you have friends not too far away, or ones that could stay overnight/for the weekend, could YOU have a get together - even with neighbours & others you know without family near? If you can't cook, maybe the bunch of you could come up with a sort of plan on how to have a potluck with (semi) holiday foods (as you did alone - but maybe a little better ie. someone buys turkey sausage & cuts it into chunks & mixes it with a few boxes of stuffing & some canned cranberry sauce (heated of course) for on top. Someone buys a pumpkin pie & ice cream or whipped cream. Maybe someone brings apple cider & bread rolls. Then there are bunches of salads in a bag these days with the salad dressing packets & toppings included. They are a little more expensive, but maybe okay for a special occasion. I don't know if you have Campbell's - Gardenay soups where you live. They are sold in the tetra cartons next to canned soups & they have a really good squash soup variety. These are just suggestions to think about. If nobody is making something better for you (& it is important for you especially), then maybe work at it (& be creative if you have to) to make it good for yourself! (Even if the best you can do is watching your favourite KZbinrs watch a movie you have "saved" for the day & eating an extra special treat for yourself that day in food or dessert form [or both! - it IS the holiday after all!].) I know that you did do this to the best of your ability this year, but if you start planning now (for Easter if you celebrate & then for the others far in advance, maybe each year could be even a little bit nicer than the last. If money is tough, you might even be able to start saving literally just a dollar or 2 a week or so to have a bit more for your holidays to treat yourself a little extra more.) I hope you don't mind my suggestions & think that I am being too intrusive. I DO know what it can be like! When you see this note, it will be in 2024 - so Happy Belated New Year (by a few days)! I hope that this year will turn around for you & be a lot better & be the start of much better times ahead. Take care. 🙂

[@PopeJohnBeatoIV]

Minnesotan here - ice fishing is a time honored tradition. Nothing like sitting in the shed when you hear the ice cracks. Glad you watched this one - as others have said, watching them together is comedic gold.

A yooper here with similar traditions! I've never been to Minnesota but I feel like life is similar for us over here.

[@susanliltz3875]

Stars: 1. Ann Margaret- the red head she’s a singer and dancer and actress, she was in a movie with Elvis!! And she was a sex symbol! 2. Kevin Pollack - you saw him in A Few Good Men 3. Darryl Hannah- you saw her in Steel Magnolias 4. Burgess Meredith - he is “Mick” from Rocky

[@chuckragland9972]

If you guys liked this, You need to check out the Original Odd Couple Movie, that the TV show was based on, Jack Lemon played Felix and Walter Matthau played Oscar.

[@sharontimmons5706]

The original Odd Couple is a must see!

[@lowbridge7070]

The odd couple originated as a Broadway play.

[@ajlynch123]

Parts of this movie were filmed in my hometown in Minnesota when I was in third grade. I got to meet the director, and Anne Margaret talked my ears off in between takes. Such a nice woman. What a classic, amazing movie! (If you're interested, all the stuff from the opening credits sequence are places around my hometown).

[@rosegarden7256]

1) It is interesting that John and Max's friendship was torn apart by a woman who came between them and stayed apart until a woman came and drew them back together". 2) Sitting in the sauna and then running and jumping, usually into a snow bank, is a Finnish tradition; I was so surprised to see it added in this movie; they really did an excellent job building the characters and representing small-town Minnesota in this movie. 3) Nearly every lake in Minnesota, which is called the "land of 10,000 lakes", is encrusted with ice houses from when the ice is thick enough to be safe to when it gets too thin in the spring. The same people set up their shanties on the same lakes every year, so it's like a little community all its own out on the ice. 4) I'll echo everyone else here and say you must watch the sequel "Grumpier old Men"; it is just as good and just as Minnesota (though less cold looking).

[@jackieknows9129]

Ann Margaret was the female lead She was considered a huge sex symbol in the 60's. You would love seeing her in the musical Bye Bye Birdie with Dick Van Dyke.

[@dudeusmaximus6793]

I was on a forum I frequent some time back and they asked - 'Sophia Lauren or Marilyn Monroe?' and I respond 'Ann Margret?' Raquel Welch was about the only other one that could get me that revved up.

Viva Las Vegas with Elvis

@jackieknows9129 Ann-Margaret also starred opposite Elvis Presley in one of his movies after he returned from the Army. Can anyone please 🥺 please tell me the title? I have forgotten it over time.

[@robwealer5416]

These guys were amazing together (Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau). ... they did their first movie "The Odd Couple" in 1968 (should watch it on this channel). The second one they did was "The Front Page", also brilliant and should also be reacted to. It was the big draw for this movie that they were teamed up again.

[@williamwatters679]

Their first film together was The Fortune Cookie in 1966 for which Walter Matthau won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

[@lornadavis476]

Burgess Meredith also played the Penguin on the Batman TV show, Popeyes dad in the movie with Robin Williams, and the trainer in Rocky.

Walter Matthau was in the original Bad News Bears, which is one of the greatest sports movies ever made. Please watch if you haven't.

[@ACD1994]

They've 'reacted' to it. Funny movie.

[@dleatherman4539]

I really appreciate your reaction to this classic. One of the things that a lot of people miss in this movie is how John was a public school teacher for, what, 36 years(?), and John can’t even afford to live in the house any more in retirement. School teacher retirements, particularly in small towns, are an absolute joke.

[@randallshuck2976]

Great selection of movies. The sequel is pretty good also. If you decide you are into flicks about old guys try "Second-hand Lions". It's a great cast, a great yarn and a lot of fun. Good job with this one.

Jack Lemmon is my favorite actor -- and one of America's greatest. He was like the Tom Hanks of his day -- playing the everyman. For a B&W comedy treat, check out "The Apartment" (1960) nominated for 8 Oscars (and other awards) and the first role for Shirley MacLaine, who also is a legend now.

[@WhereShallWeGoToday]

I have been trying FOREVER to get a USA-playing copy of his film "Macaroni." I loved that movie so much. But it's impossible. Another of his that I love that he's in with Shirley MacLaine is "Irma La Douce."

Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacClaine along with director Billy Wilder in 1963 for the romantic comedy, "Irma La Douce".

Jay & Amber Those iconic actors played John and Max were Jack Lemmon (John) and Walter Matthau (Max). Jack and Walter acted together in other movies such as iconic 1968's The Odd Couple. Both of them returned 30 years later in The Odd Couple II. Both of them died about year apart: Walter in 2000 while Jack in 2001. But their acting will live on in classics.

[@gingers.5933]

I have heard good things about Wabasha. I have heard as small towns go, the people are pretty friendly. I don't know how they would be with people like me...but ever since this film came out back in 93...I have kind of wanted to live there. I love to fish and it just seems like a fun community while being small enough to feel relatively safe.

@@WolfsDE Most Minnesotans really don't give a rat's about others doing. We have all here, including a trans that goes to the American Legion post, and nobody says squat about. If not, Wabasha try driving SE to a town with 2.5 colleges with plenty, like you.

[@lsmit6121]

​@@WolfsDEI've lived in that town for most of my life! I don't share enough of the small, quiet, riverside town interests to stay in Wabasha as a young adult, but I'd say that it's pleasant for those who do enjoy that lifestyle. It's close enough to cities like Winona and Rochester if you ever need a change on a free day or evening.

[@dudieb]

What made this so special for those if us who where around when this came out in 1993 was the fact that these were all award winning actors in there day. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau both won accademy awards. Ossie Davis was not just an exceptional actor, director and writer but he was an activist in the civil rights movement in the 60’s along side of Martin Luther King. Ann-Margaret was a very sexy singer, dancer and actress who also won awards. She starred in the movie adaptation of The Who’s Tommy as well as starring along side Elvis in Viva Las Vegas. Yes, Burgess Meredith played Mickey in Rocky. He was a very prestigious TV, Stage and movie actor who’s career spanned from 1945 until his death in 1997. The then younger two actors Daryl Hannah and Kevin Pollak were also well known actors. Daryl played the mermaid along side Tom Hanks in Splash. Kevin Pollak was in A Few Good Men with Tom Cruise. Kevin is not only an excellent actor but also a comedian and does crazy good impressions of people. Like Jack Nicholson also in A Few Good Men which probably made for an interesting set. This movies holds up well. Loved your reaction to the out takes.

I was Jack and Walter's bodyguard for an event done in their honor in the mid 90's. When it was over we got in a small elevator on the second floor and instead of going down as we expected, it went up to the third floor. The door opened and a very large woman was startled to see them and said she'd wait for it to come back up. As we started back down Walter said "We should have let her on. We would've gone down faster.". Jack just groaned and hung his head down. I then noticed his shoulders were shaking up and down in a silent laughter. Their friendship was solid gold. One of their last films together was "Out to Sea" and they were hilarious.

[@robertg7396]

The blonde who played Melanie is an actress named "Daryl Hannah". She starred in a movie with Tom Hanks, John Candy, and Eugene Levy called "Splash". It's a great rom-com that I think you guys would love! I believe it was Tom Hanks' very first movie, too! 😃🧜‍♀️

I remember the days Walter Matteau and Jack Lemon died. Was a huge loss. You have to watch the sequel as well as The Odd Couple (both movies).

[@susanliltz3875]

GRUMPIER OLD MEN Is also hilarious!! And the out takes (bloopers) at the end of this one are even wilder!!!😂😂😂😂 Same great cast and the addition of another legend:Sophia Loren , for years she’d been considered one of the most beautiful women in the world!!

Having a lifelong friend means having someone to reminisce on some of your oldest memories with. They're the other half of your memories. It's a real blessing...and when you're old it's just your privilege to be grumpy. Haha, it's to be expected.

[@Havok_1964]

A great duo of actors in so many great films. The sequel to this is just as funny, as well as The Odd Couple & one that isn’t as well known, Out to Sea.

[@dahuffy]

There's also a sequel that's equally funny. "Grumpier Old Men"

[@carolynphelan6734]

The son was in "A Few Good Men." He was part of the Jag team with Tom Cruise and Demi Moore. But you must watch "The Odd Couple" with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemon. Also Walter Matthau is in a serious role in the suspense thriller "Charade". You won't be sorry.

Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau did several films together, going back to 1966….they have tremendous on screen chemistry, the public wanted to see them together in films because they were so funny. Their very classic film, The Odd Couple, was such a hit, it became a long running tv show starring two other famous actors. Lemmon and Matthau were best friends in real life and often appeared on talk shows together whenever they had a film coming out. There is a sequel to this film called Grumpier Old Men, which was also very funny!!

[@jessemasters1446]

Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are LEGENDARY. This and Grumpier Old Men are classics! Glad yall enjoyed this one!

[@dahuffy]

Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon in "The Odd Couple" Hilarious!

[@kpiperjr]

Thank you guys! Grumpy old man spending Thanksgiving alone but got to watch this with you. One of my all-time favorites. As others have said, the sequel is pretty darn good too. Thank you for sharing your time with us. You're both too cute for words!

[@BIRDLANDSE]

You know Walter methau and Jack Lennon. The two gentlemen that played the grumpy Old Men died one year apart and they were good friends for most of their life in real life. Walter Wynn first one year later to the day Jack died

[@wichitadisciple9874]

The 2nd movie is also hilarious! The oldest grandpa is out of control!!

[@killiansalah]

To answer your question about snow in Minnesota, I’d say yes, for the most part, it is like this every winter. It was filmed in Minnesota too, btw. But what I’ve found living here for the last 13 years or so, once the snow starts falling and sticking, which can be as early as October, it just stays and piles on and piles on until about April. Some winters are worse than others, but I can’t remember a winter that I’ve been here that I didn’t have piles of snow next to my sidewalk or driveway, several feet high, all winter long.

[@lsmit6121]

Sometimes, the snow melts away in March before piling back on in April. Our seasons are usually early winter, heavy winter, still winter, and road constructions.

[@Divamarja_CA]

For extra special viewing, I recommend watching the AFI Lifetime Salute to Jack Lemmon. Walter Matthau is BRILLIANT! Their friendship is so real and warm, it’s lovely.

[@ronweber1402]

Burgess Meredith is the best part of both Grumpy movies. He's gets even more screen time in the next one and he is hilarious.

[@chaz5229]

This is my 9yr old grandson's favorite movie...LOL!! You wouldn't think that a KID this day and time would like something like this...but bless his heart...HE LOVES IT!!! He made his mom buy it for him....and also the second one too. HILARIOUS movie!!!

[@LoveOldMusic808]

After your Beatles “Now and Then” reaction, I was thinking maybe you two would enjoy a Beatles movie. “A Hard Days Night”. It’s a satire of what the Beatles were going through all the time. There’re some really good songs on it that are normally not allowed on KZbin, but other reactors have reacted to the movie with the songs on it without any problem.

[@nickitacocat]

Minnesota!!!! I love to watch Southerners try to understand ice fishing. 😂😂😂

[@pwordpam04]

I’m SO HAPPY y’all watched this classic! Please, please, PLEASE watch Grumpier Old Men SOON!!! It’s SO GOOD! And the outtakes at the end are just as great! When y’all kept dissin on Max, I kept thinking, just wait! You’ll change your minds. And your reactions didn’t disappoint!!

[@jameslongest6410]

What I find amazing is that virtually all of the cast won or were nominated for all of the major performance awards. Be it an Emmy, a Grammy, a Tony, an Oscar, or the like, someone in the cast had at least one of them.

[@twalrus1]

Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau made a great comedic duo. These are the movies they co-starred in: The Fortune Cookie (1966) The Odd Couple (1968) The Front Page (1974) Buddy Buddy (1981) JFK (1991) Grumpy Old Men (1993) The Grass Harp (1995) Grumpier Old Men (1995) Out to Sea (1997) The Odd Couple II (1998)

[@floydhill9265]

I haven't seen all of these, but Buddy Buddy was pretty funny

[@micpar2]

Grumpier Old Men the sequel is funny as heck too.

[@bakerbarb13]

You have seen a lot of these actors before- John’s daughter was played by Daryl Hannah who you saw as Annelle in Steel Magnolias , Max’s son was in a Few Good Men among other films, that was the actor who played Shooter McGavin from Happy Gilmore, Ann Margaret was the red head who has a long career going back to Elvis days. That was Burgess Meredith who played Mickey in Rocky. The two leads Walter Matthau and Jack Lemon are legends. PLEASE watch Grumpier Old Men

[@TripletDad3]

Great actors with great chemistry, and they were best friends in real life. It was a surprise hit for the studio. No one expected it to garner the attention and audience that it did when it came out, and it has become a very popular movie on cable.

[@KimSimful]

Definitely watch the sequel!! For Xmas I’d recommend a musical: White Christmas with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. And the original The Bishop’s Wife with Cary Grant in black and white! And I like fried Spam too Amber!

[@Denkar11]

Definitely watch the sequel. Grumpier Old Men is just as good as the first!

[@jameswaddell3348]

Ann Margret looked fantastic for a 53 year old!! Especially when she came out of her house and rolled around in the snow!

[@yolandavillalobos1449]

Yes, the grandfather was Mickey from Rocky. He was also the Penguin in the original 1960s Batman.

[@jorgerodrigues5880]

Hey Guys, You can also see them in "The Odd Couple."

[@ThistleAndSea]

Fun one, J&A! The second movie is good too. Btw, Anne Margret was the bees knees back in the 50's, like on a par with Elvis. They did movies together back in the day. You might also enjoy a movie called Hopscotch, another great Walter Matthau light hearted comedy about spies. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this one!

[@tonismith3707]

More like the sixties.😊

[@ThistleAndSea]

@@tonismith3707, you're right! 🙂

[@msmrsro]

Every actor in this film is legendary. What a gem!

[@badgodsit]

One of my all time favorite movies. I love Walter Matthau in a way I can’t put into words. Like we would have been kindred spirits. And watching your review is like getting to enjoy it for the first time again. Now you guys HAVE to see “Grumpier Old Men”. One of the best lines is Walter Matthau singing “Mariaaa, now suddenly I see…she’s not the B I thought she’d beee”. That line could totally still make me spray milk out of my nose. 🤣
