What I am most amazed about viewing this site are the ridiculous comments bashing really good movies. This movie is really funny with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthew in prime form. Ann Margaret is back playing Jack's wife and Sophia Loren is sexy and funny playing Maria Righetti who wants to open a restaurante in place of the beloved bait shop that has been there for years. The boys use every trick in the book to try to stop this restaurante from opening and Walter Matthew falls in love with her in spite of himself. Burgess Meredith is hilarious as usual playing horny Grandpa Gustafson (Lemmon's dad)and the scene at the grocery store where he is comparing cucumber sizes with Maria's mom is classic. Also, where he is sitting at the restaurant, getting loaded with Mama Rigetti and "putting the make" on her is also funny stuff. For those of you who were bored stiff with this movie I say you are definitely a hard audience to please because I thought this movie was very funny and better than the 1st --8.5 out of 10 for a comedy. I think this was Burgess Meredith's final movie made prior to his death and if so, this was a fine way to finish a great career!
