    Storyline

    • 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.
    • Goofs
      When Jack & Walter drive to the fishing spot , the exterior shots of the car show the Dodge Polara as a 4 door pillar-less hardtop, but in the interior scenes, it is a four door sedan, showing the B-pillar seen behind each man as they converse. As they speed back to the wedding, the four door sedan now appears in a couple of exterior shots, and now the hardtop is used during interior shots of both men through the windshield.
    • Quotes

      Mama Ragetti: We could have retired in Hawaii.

      Grandpa Gustafson: I have been to Hawaii.

      Mama Ragetti: Oh yeah? Which island?

      Grandpa Gustafson: Come-on-I-wanna-lay-ya.

      Mama Ragetti: I find you disgusting.

      Grandpa Gustafson: Well, just as long as you find me.

    Funnier than the first!
    This movie is downright hilarious with tons of good one-liners. Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon (may they both rest in peace) are two of the funniest actors in history. No one else could have played Max & John. Sophia Loren is still one of the most beautiful women in movie history! One of the funniest scenes is when she says "Holy moly" after being kissed by Max. Watch this movie. You will enjoy it, if you have a sense of humor!
