Even “Grumpier”
the second time
by Jeannine Ouillette
Collegian Staff
"Grumpier Old Men," starring
Ann Margret, Jack Lemmon,
Walter Matthau and Sophia Loren
is a witty comedy that will leave
you hysterical. Lemmon and
Matthau play as John and Max,
two old men who live next door
to each other in a small town
neighborhood in Minneapolis.
With everyone pairing off into
couples, including his own son
and John's daughter, Max
becomes "singled-ouL" The title
is very suitable for the film
because the two old men are so
grumpy they have nothing better
to do but play pranks on each
other.
A new woman, Maria (Sophia
.oren), moves into town to take
over her late brother's bait shop;
to many people's surprise, her
plan is to turn it into a
Hopper’s and The Philharmonic?
ERIE-World-renowned
conductor Joseph Silverstein
takes the Warner Theatre'stage to
conduct the Erie Philharmonic on
Saturday, February 24th.
For the first half of the
program, Maestro Silverstein
will lead the orchestra and chorus
in Mozart’s “Great” C Minor
Mass. After intermission, he
returns to conduct Antonin
Dvorak’s Symphony No. 8. The
soloists for the Mozart are
soprano Susan Gundunas, mezzo
soprano Mimi Lerner, tenor
David Parks, and baritone Daniel
Bromstcd.
Last season, the Erie
Philharmonic and Hoppers
Brcwpub teamed up for “Bach,
Beer, & Beethoven Night” a
night for audience members to
taste Hoppers’ microbrewed beer
restaurant. The old men are not
thrilled by Maria's ideas, being
that fishing is another of their
favorite past times. In addition
to planning a wedding and trying
to find Max a girlfriend, their
new "hobby" becomes revenge on
Maria, to only find out that she
is not easily defeated. Finally,
and to everyone's dismay, the
plot receives an added twist - Max
and Maria fall in love.
The ending of the movie is a
joyful one, with each part of its
active plot being tied together
neatly. The makers of the film
include comical movie making
fumbles at the very end. A line
for laughs: "Hey baby, want to
come back to my place? I’ll
show you my bony cannoli!”
Who's line is it? Go find out!
This is the perfect movie to free
yourself from last minute
weekend homework.
