The Grump (Finnish: Mielensäpahoittaja) is a 2014 Finnish comedy film directed by Dome Karukoski, in which the main character is The Grump, a cranky old man, created by the Finnish author Tuomas Kyrö.
The Grump was selected to compete for the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.[3] It is based on a 2014 novel by Kyrö, the third volume by the author, in which this character appears.
