| Plot: | Things don't seem to change much in Wabasha County: Max and John are still fighting after 35 years, Grandpa still drinks, smokes, and chases women , and nobody's been able to catch the fabled "Catfish Hunter", a gigantic catfish that actually smiles at fishermen who try to snare it. Six months ago John married the new girl in town (Ariel), and people begin to suspect that Max might be missing something similar in his life. The only joy Max claims is left in his life is fishing, but that might change with the new owner of the bait shop. |

Goofs

Continuity: During Grandpa's first scene, his cigarette and beer swap hands briefly. Continuity: In a scene where Max and Ariel are having a conversation near the kerb, Ariel is loading things into her Jeep. You can see that the windshield wipers are in the stopped position to the right hand side of the front windshield. The shot changes briefly, when the Jeep is in view again during the same conversation the wipers are stopped to the left position. Continuity: When grandpa sings the lullaby to Allie and she falls asleep there's a close-up of her face with her hair messed up and covering her face. The next shot is a long shot and her hair is neatly drawn behind (like in a ponytail). Revealing mistakes: In the scene where Catfish Hunter is hooked and pulling the boat through the water, the rear of the boat is up high enough to see that there is no lower unit (propeller) on the outboard motor. Continuity: During the "Chicken Dance" scene, when the couple are fighting, the dancing doesn't match the music. The Chicken Dance has a specific set of actions for various points in the song - this was blatantly off. Continuity: When John passes out from the alcohol at Rigettes resturant, Maria's robe switches from half falling off to wrapped around both shoulders between shots. Continuity: When Gustafson puts the cat in Max's car, it makes holes in the imitation leather, but moments later the holes are gone. Continuity: When Max finds Maria fishing in her boat they show him come around a bed of weeds in view of Maria, but a moment later in another shot his boat is just coming around the weeds. CHAR: In the first movie Grandpa Gustafson says he's 94 years old. In the second movie he says he just turned 95. So less than a year has passed but somehow Melanie's daughter Allie aged 3 or 4 years. Continuity: While John and Max are fishing for Catfish Hunter in tuxedos, Gustafson's reel switches from a casting reel to a spinning reel and back to a casting reel. Continuity: When Max and Maria are having dinner on the deck of the Ristorante, you can clearly see the sunset with just a few clouds in the sky. In less than 30 seconds, it starts pouring down rain. CHAR: Max tells John that he just had his car seats "refinished". The correct word is "re-covered", or "re-upholstered". Continuity: When Max and Maria are dining on the deck, they drink wine from a box. When the rain starts and they go inside, the box of wine disappears. PLOT: When John and Max release the guinea pig into the restaurant, the health inspector starts to write Maria a citation for having a rat. She picks it up and recognizes what it is. She can't think of the name, but her mother does. This is unlikely, since her mother's English isn't nearly as good as Maria's. |

[after Allie swallows a quarter] Grandpa: Relax. Kids swallow quarters all the time. Melanie: Really? Grandpa: Sure. If she craps out two dimes and a nickel, then you can start worrying. Maria: I haven't been with a man for a long time Max Goldman: Me neither. Max: I am the gangster of love John: Gangster, huh? So tell me, was it more of a hold up than a stick up? Max: Even your infantile penis jokes seem funny and witty this morning. John Gustafson: Pop, I wish you'd try the low-fat bacon. Grandpa Gustafson: Well, you can wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which gets filled first. Grandpa: I'm done. John Gustafson: Pop, I really wish you'd try the low fat bacon... Grandpa: Well you can wish in one hand and crap in the other, and see which gets filled first! [about talking to one's plants] Max Goldman: I got a cactus in my bathroom, but we got nothing to say to each other. Max: Eat my shorts. Mama Ragetti: We could have retired in Hawaii.

John Gustafson: Yeah, yeah. Max Goldman: Finally. I didn't think he would last that long. [Grabs milk and smells it] Max Goldman: Smells alright to me. John Gustafson: You won't even know I'm here. Max Goldman: That's because you won't be here. Max Goldman: If my dog was as ugly as you, I'd shave his ass and teach him to walk backwards. Grandpa: What the... what the hell is this? John: That's lite beer. Grandpa: Gee, I weigh ninety goddamn pounds, and you bring me this sloppin' foam? John: Ariel's got me on a diet because the doc said my cholestorol's a little too high. Grandpa: Well let me tell you something now, Johnny. Last Thursday, I turned 95 years old. And I never exercised a day in my life. Every morning, I wake up, and I smoke a cigarette. And then I eat five strips of bacon. And for lunch, I eat a bacon sandwich. And for a midday snack? John: Bacon. Grandpa: Bacon! A whole damn plate! And I usually drink my dinner. Now according to all of them flat-belly experts, I should've took a dirt nap like thirty years ago. But each year comes and goes, and I'm still here. Ha! And they keep dyin'. You know? Sometimes I wonder if God forgot about me. Just goes to show you, huh? John: What? Grandpa: Huh? John: Goes to show you what? Grandpa: Well it just goes... what the hell are you talkin' about? John: Well you said you drink beer, you eat bacon and you smoke cigarettes, and you outlive most of the experts. Grandpa: Yeah? John: I thought maybe there was a moral. Grandpa: No, there ain't no moral. I just like that story. That's all. Like that story. Grandpa: And then the Mama Bear said, "Somebody's been sleeping in my bed, too!" And finally, the Baby Bear looked and he said, "Somebody's sleeping in my bed, and the bastard's still there!" But Goldylocks had a Remington semi-automatic, with a scope and a hair-trigger! Allie, Melanie's Daughter: That's not the way it goes! Grandpa: And that was the end of the Three Bears. Max: [Maria kisses Max after they fall to the ground] Mama mia! Maria: Holy moly! Grandpa: [to Mama Regatti in the produce section of the market] How about you come back to my place and I'll show you my man-size canalloni. Maria: Ox Max: Nag Max: [to John after Maria dumps spaghetti sauce on them] Do you think we should ask her for some garlic bread? Jacob Goldman: [Max and Jacob are watching TV when the dog passes gas] UGH! What are you feeding this dog? Max Goldman: Hormel Chili. Jacob Goldman: [grimacing] Whoo! Max Goldman: He likes it. Max Goldman: [singing] I just met a girl named Maria! And now I plainly see, she's not the bitch I thought she would be! Mama Ragetti: [has called for a silence in Italian] I know my Maria, she wants nothing to do with that man [meaning John] . Ariel Gustafson: Oh yeah, how would you know that? Mama Ragetti: Because, she wants that man [meaning Max] . [Maria is frustrated with her mother as she leaves in her robe. Ariel forgives John for her false accusations about him cheating on her] |
