BTW, Ann Morgan Guilbert is still kicking. But how about Cloris Leachman for Ariel's mother? And my husband suggests, "Crochety Old Bitties" for a title. And who said the women have to be grumpy. I don’t like the idea of the ladies fighting though. They could just be grumpy in that they had found love again in their senior years and now lost them. I still think it’s the guys who should do the fighting. What if two fighting old men move to town. They could be brothers. They may not be fighting over the women. But with the sibling rivalry thing, they could be fighting over everything else. I'm not sure about Burt Reynolds, he's been looking rough lately with the hair pieces and blackening his facial hair, makes him look really pale. But I like the Dick Van Dyke & Tim Conway team. Or how about just the two Van Dyke brothers, Dick & Jerry, not as good though. Or maybe Tim Conway and Harvey Korman. They alway made a good team. Or maybe for something really odd, Tim Conway and Don Knotts. They always made a good team, too. Who said they have to be Americans. Maybe have Sir Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart. They worked well together in X-Men. And Patrick Stewart has done comedy before. Patrick would be the comic part and Sir Ian could be the straight man.
The two brothers could move to town, on purpose or by chance. One moves into Ariel's house, the other could move into Max's. Or if we need to have the ladies next door to each other, maybe either of the houses on the other side. Or if they moved there together, they could move into just Ariel's house. Maybe one had a heart attack, like the younger one, and the older one feels he has to take care of his younger brother. The younger one hates his big brother always 'taking care of him'. And the older hates that he always has to 'take care of' his younger brother. When actually the older brother is the one who truly needs his younger for a change, even if he isn't willing to admit it until the end of the movie.
If Darryl Hannah & Kevin Pollack are fighting, maybe it's because Ali's jealous over a new addition to the family. Maybe have Dick's son Barry Van Dyke show up to give Kevin Pollack a run for his money.
