The next in our "Food on Film" series, which logs all foods consumed on film throughout our favorite movies, is Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men.
I love these movies. They depict a pretty accurate snap-shot of how I'd like my retired life to be... full of friends and family, leisurely afternoons, good food, bickering neighbors and shenanigans. These movies are perfect for lazy Sunday afternoon viewing. Plus, the added bonus of Burgess Meredith as a dirty yet harmless old man and father to Jack Lemmon's character is a huge highlight to these two movies... trust me: hilarity ensues.
