Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: 3/5 Feb 7, 2003 Full Review Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle Rated: 1/4 Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times This is, of course, a big-screen sitcom, and in fact I would love to see this material transplanted to the TV screen, where it belongs. Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Grumpier Old Men segues into an increasingly generic and hackneyed midsection... Rated: 2/4 Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Cory Woodroof 615 Film It’s not quite as efficient as the first, but it’s much better than whatever the hell those reviews were in 1995. Those movie critics had no damn idea what was coming in the streaming age. Jan 15, 2023 Full Review Renee Schonfeld Common Sense Media Insults and sexual innuendo dominate routine comedy sequel. Rated: 2/5 May 20, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars10/27/24 Full Review Enkh M Надад таалагдаж байна Rated 5 out of 5 stars07/17/24 Full Review Bahad j I felt like the characters in this movie could feel the happiness and difficulties that they faced in real life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars07/16/24 Full Review Michael W This classic sequel to Grumpy Old Men was great. Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, Burgess Meredith, Ann-Margret, Sophia Loren, Daryl Hannah, Kevin Pollak, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. The story of the movie was entertaining and humorous. It's just like the first movie and it's just as funny. If you haven't seen this classic sequel yet, you should watch it sometime. It's a must see. Rated 4 out of 5 stars03/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie and the sequel are entertaining for the entire family. Funny no matter how many times you've seen it Rated 5 out of 5 stars01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
