    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      At the end of the theatrical trailer, there is an outtake of Walter Matthau in the bath tub saying directly into the camera "If I'd known there was going to be a nude scene, I would've asked for an extra million." The crew found this so hilarious, they ended up using it as a post credits scene.
    • Goofs
      John reaches into the back seat of his car to retrieve a tax folder. Jacob approaches and greets John. When John turns around to return the greeting his hands are empty. In the next shot he once again has the folder.
    • Quotes
      • John Gustafson: You're supposed to be smoking filter cigarettes.
      • Grandpa Gustafson: I'm 94 years old. What the hell do I care?
    • Crazy credits
      One outtake has Jack Lemmon flub his lines, and he continues, in the same tone of voice, babbling gibberish. Matthau answers him in the same "language." Their timing and intonation are precisely as they'd be if they weren't jabbering nonsense to each other.
