When ladies’ man David Mitchell (Paul Campbell) gives his lonely grandfather, Joe (Andy Griffith), some pointers on dating, Joe becomes a big hit with the women in his retirement community. But David strikes out with his own tricks when he tries to woo a girl named Julie (Marla Sokoloff). Now it’s up to Joe to teach his grandson how to win at love without playing games.

Surely Andy Griffith, once the country-classy sheriff of TV’s Mayberry and more recently the most memorable customer in Adrienne Shelly’s big-screen “Waitress,’’ can do better than “Play the Game,’’ a film in which comedic maturity is measured in jokes about hemorrhoids, constipation, and erectile dysfunction.

Written and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Marc Fienberg, “Play the Game’’ stars Griffith as Joe, an 84-year-old widower whose grandson, David (Paul Campbell), has set him up in the world’s happiest, horniest retirement community. David is a shrewd car salesman with a well-earned reputation as a ladies’ man. He even has a slick, five-step method guaranteed to reel in female prey. So the least he can do for Grandpa is make him a “chick magnet’’ – or “chick maggot,’’ as Joe first mishears the reference.

Play the Game is distributed by SterKinekor Entertainment
