I watched this on a whim years ago thinking 'this looks cute... And I like Andy Griffith'. While it IS cute it is also quite funny and more involved than I expected. I will admit, as a kid who grew up with Mayberry and Matlock the racy humor tickled me. I watched it again recently to see if it still held up and I still enjoyed it thoroughly. I can't rate it a 9 or a 10 because truthfully it *is* very saccharin at times... But definitely worth the watch if you like silly but heartfelt rom-coms.

Paul (David Mitchell) thinks he has the rules of courting women down pat. With a good deal of success up to this point, it appears he is correct. A car salesman who really doesn't like his job, he nevertheless earns a sufficient salary to look the part of a swinging bachelor. Paul also goes to visit his widowed grandfather, Joe (Andy Griffith) at the retirement home, where Joe's fondest wish is to find a woman to "hold hands and conversation with". Therefore, Paul tries to school G-Pa Joe on the "modern" way to get women, including arranging future situations with a bit of deception. However, its not really Joe's style but the older man is soon going out with several ladies. Meanwhile, Paul agrees to play a touch football game with his co-workers from the dealership, where he meets an opposing player, a FEMALE, Julie (Marla Sokoloff). Instantly, Paul sees that he wants to use his back of tricks to get her attention. Yet, at every turn, Julie does the unexpected, making him work even harder to turn her head in his direction. Will the ultimate player be successful in wooing a fair maid's hand? This was a fun film about the gamesmanship of many relationships and the tried and true methods of an older generation's courtship. Mitchell, Griffith, Doris Roberts, Sokoloff and the rest of the cast are quite comical and engaging. Sets, costumes, script and direction have some good qualities, too. Yes, there is a bit of risqué material, as Grandpa discovers viagra and more. But, if you want a nice little romcom for a Saturday night in, this fits the bill.

A movie that everyone dating should see and decide whether you play the game with dating, or play the game at work. Loved seeing another side of Andy Griffith (Grandpa). It was nice seeing Doris Roberts (Rose), from Everyone Loves Raymond, banter with Grandpa. It created an nice look of age stereotyping on what is love and how we define what love will look like for each of us. Will we know love when it arrives? There's definitely something to appeal to all ages watching this movie! Lots of laughter along the way! I've seen this before too and never wrote the review back then, but I did so this time to make sure that you are encouraged to watch this. Great date movie to watch and wonder in the end.. ?

I can understand why some may find this movie to be coarse or scandalous. Getting famous celebrities such as Andy Griffith and Doris Roberts certainly bestows extra credibility to the movie, but the acting itself, the likable characters, and a story line that is seldom talked about are enough to elevate this movie to a must see movie. I found myself laughing with the script and rooting for the characters and their realizations. I think that seeing Andy Griffith in a role that's different than a type character makes me appreciate his youthful presence even more. His role as Grandpa Joe was funny, endearing, and thought provoking.

My wife and I were looking for a good romantic comedy to fill our afternoon. We stumbled across this film on Netflix saw that it had 3.2 stars out of five and said, "Hey, why not?" I soon wished I would have read more reviews as the movie quickly advanced into awkward scenes of old people sex, bad advice, bad acting, and multiple montages that happened so frequently I could have told the story in half the time and saved a lot of time and money. Most of the scenes felt awkward in that the shots were to long and many times it felt that the actors were waiting to just say their lines. After reading the synopsis I thought it would be a clever smart story but the writing just felt stupid and unrealistic like a "just friends" meets any Ben Stiller movie where he does not play a psycho... The Cinematography was great, well lit, good shots, bright colors, but why did you have to show me old people having sex and then pushing the dialog to a point where it got so repetitive that I could quote the movie before I had even seen it!? All that to say I regretfully watched this film and am giving it 1 star...

I enjoyed the characters David and Julie...and I loved the "twist" at the end - where she'd been playing the game too. I was not at all happy with Andy Griffith's character....at first it made "Joe" seem unusually simple for a man of his 84 years. Even if he'd only been with one woman all his life, he was bound to know more than he claimed to know. Then, it got a little uncomfortable when he started talking his "sex" talk and he appeared to be a dirty old man. It disappointed me, because that's just not Andy Griffith's style. (RIP). There were some truly funny scenes in the movie, though, most of them by David. I don't know why they chose the woman they did for Edna. She was definitely not an attractive OR sexy older woman. The sex scene between she and Joe literally turned me off...they could have done without that. Anyway, I did enjoy most of the movie, but I'm disappointed in Mr. Griffith's role in this movie.

I watched this movie with my family a few weeks ago. We thought it was just okay for the majority of the movie. The relationship seemed clichéd, but cute. The plot was nothing revolutionary, but it was still moderately enjoyable. I was rooting for the protagonist, David. Andy Griffith was the best grandpa... very funny and enjoyable. Come to think about it, all of the old people were great. Again though, it was nothing extraordinary. Marla Sokoloff was great, especially at the end, which is when my family and I decided that we really did like the movie. If you can last through the majority of the movie, the last 10 minutes rap it up so nicely, it will give you a chill, and maybe make you fall in love with the movie.

I really liked this movie. It has a little of everything, romance, comedy and a twist at the end that I did not see it coming. When I saw the cover of the movie I was like " na... It is a movie of a nursing home". But it was 9pm and I did not want to see an action, horror, thriller movie because sometimes I cannot sleep with those movies because I suffer from anxiety. So I told my husband it had good reviews and he said lets go for it. I laughed during all the movie especially with the role of the grandpa. But as a girl I love to see those movies in which those macho guys that think they have everything figured out with girls end up finding the real love. But what really caught my heart of the movie is the final part. I thought that all the movie was about him and at the end we learn all the movie was about her with that final twist.

My wife downloaded this on Netflix. We'd never heard of it before, but she liked the description so we watched it. The story line is of a young player who's out trying to score with women who visits his grandfather (Andy Griffith) in the retirement community. Apparently his grandmother recently passed away, and his grandfather made a promise to her that he would date again after she died. He tries to teach his grandfather all the tricks of getting women, and meanwhile meets a girl he really falls for. In a twist, the young player becomes a one-woman man, while his one-woman grandfather becomes quite the player. This movie was surprisingly good for not having a lot of name brand talent (other than Andy Griffith and Doris Roberts). The younger actors in this movie tend to act a little stiff and it's as if their characters weren't completely fleshed out, but nonetheless the movie seems to come together in the end, even though the ending tends to be somewhat predictable. The funny parts though are the older actors discussing sex, like you wouldn't want to hear your grandparents talk about getting it on. And then a funny plot twist in the end makes this movie just a little bit better.
