They're Grumpy Old Men [Side A]. And since they're played by famed screen odd couple Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, they're also Funny Old Men. The wit hits the fan as the two play Minnesota ice-fishing pals whose crusty ... more »friendship grows hilariously icier as they vie for an attractive widow (Ann-Margret). Also in the cast are Daryl Hannah, Kevin Pollak, Ossie Davis and an outrageously randy Burgess Meredith. The two leads grab their fishing rods to reel in another comic whopper in the sequel Grumpier Old Men [Side B]. Most of the original cast returns, and Sophia Lore« less

"I knew one day Warner Bros. would put these great movies in Widescreen and thus, help me add them to my shelves. But today is not that day! After seeing this advertised as Widescreen on this website and the Warner Home Video website, I was beside myself with glee and anticipation. I went to four different stores in California, and found that each time I went to purchase, the back of the DVD read, Includes full screen version. Confused I bought it anyway. Thinking maybe the back was a mis-print? Or maybe it meant, includes widescreen and full screen. I was wrong... On both counts! So when I contacted Warner Home Video, and nasty Nurse Ratched answered the phone and told me that "If I didn't buy it on their website then what did they care that it was being advertised wrongfully", I knew that these movies would not find a place on my DVD shelves anytime soon.
Buyer beware! This is not only being advertised wrongly but, no one will care once you purchased it!"
It is Full Screen & is falsely being advertised as WS!

"This is the same transfer as the original release except on one disc (2 sided) & in a keep case. It is NOT Anamorphic or even letterboxed Widescreen. A lot of these babies will be being returned due to false advertising."
Widescreen ... That's a big LIE !!!

"I've been waiting for years since the LaserDisc release.
What's up with this. Advertised as WS, but on the back clearly states FS.
As Ray Davies said ... "Give the People what they want!"
WE DON'T WANT THIS"

"This is just ridiculous. The movies ARE in full screen. I called Warner Home Video and some obnoxious woman answered. I explained it was full screen and being advertised as widescreen. She said "did you buy it from OUR website" and I said, the upc matched the one in the store. It is the same item and it IS being falsely advertised. Warners is just trying to make a quick buck off this one.She refused to even pass along the information. California is getting a call tomorrow for sure!"
