Griffith has honestly never been funnier, and Play the Game is a delightful, thoroughly entertaining romantic comedy that reminds us all just why we fell in love with him in the first place.

It's too bad things get so crude, because the film otherwise has a certain charm.

I never contemplated what Andy Griffith's face would look like during orgasm, and I curse this atrocious and shoddy romantic comedy for making Griffith do it and making anyone watch it.

Surprisingly sexual in nature, and not just because it seems so concerned with the sex practices of the elderly. There's too much of that sort of material here and not nearly enough of the stuff we really want to see.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 12, 2009

There's a good comedy to be made about sex among seniors, but the low-budget indie film Play the Game is not that movie.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 15, 2009

It isn't great movie-making, but it is a cheeky good time -- even if you've never wondered what Opie's pa would look like after a jolt of Viagra.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 10, 2009

This isn't so much sitcom fare as dinner-theatre material, directed without an ounce of style or panache and played more broadly than an old vaudeville routine.

| Original Score: D | Sep 10, 2009

Although occasionally slow Play the Game receives a boost from its capable cast. It's fun to see an old dog learn new tricks.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 6, 2009

The scene in which Alzheimer's is played as a dating dealbreaker is as stunningly tasteless as Fienberg's zooming-in on Joe's face when he receives his first blowjob.

While Fienberg's direction is no great shakes, the film showcases its veteran cast.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 28, 2009

one of those endearingly cute, funny movies you'll see on cable and wonder why studios don't put their marketing machine behind this kind of film instead of the typical garbage we get passed off on us as summer 'entertainment.'

Smart screenplay, good directing. Except for Griffith, casting is wrong.

Stay home and find yourself a Golden Girls marathon.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 28, 2009

Play the Game has all kinds of good intentions, but the comedy is too broad and the pacing is clumsy. Take away the dirty parts, and this is the type of thing you can get for free on the Hallmark Channel every day.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 28, 2009

Veering between syrupy sweet and awkwardly dirty, Play the Game is a woefully scoreless exercise.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 28, 2009

The good news is that the seemingly perennial 온라인카지노추천 fixture is still funny and sharp and folksy. The bad news is that he lost the bet, or whatever it was that got him into Marc Fienberg's smarmy, lackluster comedy.

Griffith improvises an orgasm that seems to last as long as the entire eight-year run of The Andy Griffith Show.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 28, 2009

Did you ever wonder what face Andy Griffith makes when he's having an intimate moment with a lady friend? Me neither. Yet that's one of many "delights" foisted on us during writer-director Marc Fienberg's feature-length debut comedy.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 28, 2009

There have been many things in this world I never thought I would see, and watching Andy Griffith receive, umm, "oral pleasure" was one of them

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 28, 2009
