    Great comedy
    I did DVD of this only because it cost 1 EUR. I didn't expect nothing, but I got great comedy.

    The plot is very good and not seen often. Dan Aykroyd is a narrator too, but doesn't make so good performance than we have used to. Jack Lemmon is too old or he act's too old. In Grumpy Old Men few ears ago he was still in shape.

    This is good written feel good comedy. Harvey Miller isn't great director but he makes decent job.

    I'll give 8 of 10 because it's entertaining, good written and easy to watch again.
