When Max finds out that John is experiencing family troubles and financial ruin, however, he steps in to help.

Critics Consensus: Grumpy Old Men's stars are better than the material they're given -- but their comedic chemistry is so strong that whenever they share the screen, it hardly matters.

Reviews

The Sun-Herald (Australia)

Rob Lowing

This is formula comedy all the way but somehow the skimpy plot and rehashed situations prove amusing in a leisurely not irritating way.

Oh, to have been a senior citizen at the height of the Grumpy Old Men films. What dreams may come.

Few movies of this increasingly burgeoning genre have reached the same heights, today’s efforts increasingly sanitised, formularised and joyless. Everything Grumpy Old Men is most certainly not.

Although the script isn't quite as strong as it could be, the chemistry between the two stars is irresistible and they are matched by an equally strong supporting cast that includes Burgess Meredith, Kevin Pollak and Ossie Davis.
