Play The Game

Indie/Romantic Comedy
4 stars
Adorably funny comedy starring Andy Griffith as a lonely widower whose slick pickup artist grandson tries to teach him how to meet women. Meanwhile, the grandson (Paul Campbell of Knight Rider and Battlestar Galactica) meets his match with a spunky girl played by Marla Sokoloff (The Practice). Costars include Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond) and Liz Sheridan (Seinfeld). Plenty of adult humor and even a senior sex scene, thankfully filmed from the shoulders-up. Griffith’s scenes are hilarious. I was in a theater full of seniors who all applauded at the end of the movie. Though the bit they added on at the end (which most folks should have already surmised and felt patronizing) was unnecessary, I loved it.
