And here they are, two of the most grumpiest men ever lived in Warbasha. John and Max aka. Walther Mathaw and Jack Lemmon. Picture it, wintertime in Warbasha, it's too cold outside, snow is everywhrere, and two guys managed to argue, fight, and get at each other's nerves in one way or another. These are very funny movies and anyone who watches them can relate to what's happening and what to do about it. Well it was when Max and John were kids, they were the best friends, and often had fun ice fishing and probably bragged over their fish stories on whom caught the biggest fish. But in reality, they both developed grudges over each other as a woman had came into each other's lives and since John had married a woman that Max loved he got jealous of him. Well in their elder years, John lives in a wonderful home all by himself with his cat Slick to keep him company, and Max lived just next door to him. So, what's the problem this time. A new woman had moved into a house across the street, her name is Ariel. Ariel is very flirty and just loves to live life to the fullest.
So with John and Max both noticing her, and had grown quite fond of her, neither of them had the guts to make the first move, and get to know her.
It was during a trip to the local bait shop that both of them argued and bragged about Ariel and bragged about their love experiences, but Max got jealous as Ariel had visited John at 1:30 in the morning to use his bathroom, or did she have other plans on her mind. It was then that Chuck, the bait shop owner tries to talk the guys into what's really happening as he figures that instead of going to see Ariel, they'd assume to go ice fishing, sit on an ice cube and kiss up to a bucket of fish bait.
With the men being woken up, each of them attempt to hurry up and fix themselves up to be the first to go and see Ariel, but things changed when Chuck decided to take advantage of the opportunity that the men refuse to take, and go and see Ariel himself and spend some quality time with her.
Both guys couldn't believe on what happened and rushed to the bait shop and find out what Chuck's experiences with Ariel was like. Chuck explained to them that Ariel was a fine woman and awakened him to the fact that he's a man, with hopes and dreams and she made him think about living life to the best. But the men thought that he went to see Ariel and had a romantic relationship.
The fight begins again as both John and Max fight over Ariel and the heat really gets on, as Ariel's latest visit with John had resulted in the best sex he's ever had since October 4, 1978 with his last wife before she passed on. It was then that John decides to break up with Ariel and let Max have him, as his home was going to be confiscated by the IRS and will have no money to support her. Max had a blast with her and felt good, however after an argument in the Bar, John has a heart attack as he goes out to talk to Ariel. Max then has to have a change of heart and assists John to the emergency room to recover from his heart attack, and temporarily stops the fight and helps John with his financial problems, gets his home back, and John then marries Ariel.
In the sequel, John's married life seems to be happy, but he's still at it in fighting with Max.
But it's with the sudden news that after Chuck passed away, his bait shop is closed, which puts both of them to a halt for their one and only shared activity fishing. What's to become of the bait shop? It gets sold and turned into a Restorante, a fine Italian eatery with Mrs. Raghetti spaghetti's daughter as the owner, along with her mom who helps to run the place. Well, this doesn't go well with the guys, as their favorite fishing spot will become private property, and they can't fish there anymore, and have no chance to catch a giant fish they tried to catch for years. Would you believe that these two guys who were enemies have called a truce and did everything they can to prevent the place from opening and getting it closed down. From there, Max develops quite fond of Mrs. Raghetti and wants to schedule a date to see her, but he's nervous. as it's been years since his wife passed away that he attempted to find love again. Well with the argument with John and Mrs. Raghetti, he went down to apologize to her for all the things he's done to close the restaurant. John and Max missed the bait shop and aren't sure where to fish anymore. But his wife had different thoughts as although he went to Raghietti's to apologize, he never came home, and his wife assumed that he cheated on her. It was all cleared up as Raghetti's mom explained that her daughter doesn't want John, as she wants the other man Max.
Max and Raghetti's relationship had gotten off to a rough start, but he got his special night after they went out looking for night crawlers. All seemed to go well, however their wars began again as John's daughter Melanie breaks up the marriage with Max's son Jacob during the Ocktoberfest.
A funny scene comes when John's cat Slick poops on Max's newspaper, and to get back at him, Max goes and adopts a bulldog to get back at what Slick has done to his morning newspaper. The dog chases Slick, but at first he almost steps onto his own poop and meows as he makes a run to get away from Max's bulldog Lucky. The chase goes crazy as it ends up in John's house and Ariel's sculpture of her husband John gets broken. Ariel leaves John until the fight stops, and John goes to Max's house for shelter as his wife kicked him out of his own house. Poor john was freezing and Max gave him a set of matches and told him to light himself on fire to keep warm. So eventually Max let's John in his house, and it's a mess, as he has milk in the fridge that expired past it is date, 3 tv sets on at once and a half eaten sandwich was found in the couch John was sleeping in. Well even after all this romance, John's dad finds love with Raghetti's mother and falls in love with her, but sadly he passes away as he just sat on the couch by the lake. He had a very unusual diet for a 90 year old man as he only had bacon, bacon sandwiches, and he drank beer for his dinner, and wondered if god had forgotten him.
In the end, Raghetti Spaghetti gets married to Max, but before they get to the church, they make one last attempt to catch the giant catfish that John's dad tired to catch for more than 40 years. Amazingly, they both get along and finally manage to catch that fish and argued on who's wall it's going to be mounted onto. John then realized that even though he caught that fish, he decided to let it go in honor and memory of his dad. Max thought he was crazy for what he did, and suddenly realized that Max had to get to the church in a hurry. They both hurried up like crazy, and it looked like the wedding was going to be off. But at the last minute, John and Max get to the church in time of the wedding, while each of them were wearing their rubber fishing boots. During the bridal march, John asks Max if he has the wedding ring, but when he reached into his pocket, instead of the ring, he pulled out a fish. Ariel saw this and was in disbelief. It was during the wedding that Raghetti's mom had said that she's going to have a son in law with a face of a macarel, as she was referring to Max.
The wedding went on and in the end, when Raghetti and Max were in the limo and kissing each other. one of them smelled something stinky, and were they in shock when they saw that his dog Lucky was in the back seat watching them with his doggie smile. And Raghetti's restorante had turned into a restorante and bait shop.
During the outtakes at the end of the movie, it's really funny to hear John's Dad's answer to Raghetti's mom's question on if he's been to Hawaii. The men do forget their lines and it's hilarious . A very funny movie to anyone who's is deciding to find true love, and get informed on what they're in for.
