Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau reunite in this funny comedy as two life-long neighbors who have spent most of their lives bickering and playing practical jokes on each other when the beautiful and charismatic Ann-Margret moves in next door. Both being widowers, their arguing becomes a whole new ball game. Matthau and Lemmon are as good as they've ever been in this film that has launched a whole new line of movies about grumpy old men. A refreshing comedy but not flawless.
