Movie Matinee - Grumpier Old Men

Today's Senior Center Movie Matinee is Grumpier Old Men.

Life goes on much as it usually does in Wabasha County, Minnesota, with the only notable differences being that John Gustafson and Max Goldman are getting along, and that John's marriage to freespirited Ariel is working out well. John and Max's great obsession in life remains fishing, and both are vying to reel in "Catfish Hunter," a trophy fish that local anglers have been trying to catch for ages.

However, Max is outraged when Maria Ragetti and her mother Francesca arrive to take over the local bait & tackle shop, and then announce that they're going to close it down and open an Italian restaurant! Max goes to remarkable lengths to foil Maria's plans, but John thinks that his friend needs a wife, and that Max and Maria might make a good match.

Grandpa Gustafson seems to think he'd be a good mate for Francesca, but then again he's not known for being very fussy about women. John's daughter Melanie and Max's son Jacob  are trying to work out their own plans to get married, and they might just make it to the altar if John and Max can stop interfering. 

Starring Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon and Ann-Margret, and Sophia Loren.
