	Author	Review
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"Grumpy Old Men works more often than not. It's an example of a frothy, good-natured holiday picture that adults can relax and enjoy."	POS
United States	The Wall Street Journal	"Despite the numerous predictable jokes about geriatric sex, the movie is very appealing for numerous surprising reasons. Many of them have to do with ice fishing in Minnesota."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"The movie is too pat and practiced to really be convincing (...) But Matthau and Lemmon are fun to see together"	NEU
United States	Louis Black Austin Chronicle	"'Grumpy Old Men' is supposed to be about how love reinvents life and I'm not even really sure where it gets lost, but it ends up going nowhere."	NEG
United States	Caryn James The New York Times	"'Grumpy Old Men' is the kind of holiday movie a lot of people are searching for"	POS
