Things don't seem to change much in Wabasha County: Max and John are still fighting after 35 years, Grandpa still drinks, smokes, and chases women , and nobody's been able to catch the fabled "Catfish Hunter", a gigantic catfish that actually smiles at fishermen who try to snare it. Six months ago John married the new girl in town (Ariel), and people begin to suspect that Max might be missing something similar in his life. The only joy Max claims is left in his life is fishing, but that might change with the new owner of the bait shop. —Murray Chapman <muzzle@cs.uq.oz.au>

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.

Crazy credits
Outtakes also show Walter Matthau and 'Jack Lemmon' both forgetting their lines, including the names of their characters' respective love interests.

Grumpier Old Men

Nothing's different in this lovely follow up to the sleeper hit original. Lemmon and Matthau still jab at each other while Sophia Loren practically steals the film with her still astonishing beauty. Things only get better with age.
