Preview: Play the Game (2009)

Synopsis:

A young man tries to teach his grandfather how to catch a great woman while slowly destroying his own relationship.

• Poster: D

Review:

Why these colors? The white background is a poor choice, so are the cheap blue and purple lettering. The "snapshot" images splashed across the foreground are all entirely unimpressive and cheesey.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

Andy Griffith is still fairly charming and spry for being 83. This reminds me of the Kirk Douglas of 1999's Diamonds. And the elderly portions of the trailer seem ripe with potentially fun comedy. However, the rest of the trailer just feels lazy and repetitive.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• August 28, 2009
