Salt Lake Tribune Review

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.

Griffith plays Joe, a widower who takes dating advice from his smooth-talking grandson, David (Paul Campbell, star of the made-in-Utah crapfest "National Lampoon's Bag Boy"), to become the swinging-est guy in the retirement home. While Joe romances the daring Edna (Liz Sheridan, "Seinfeld's" TV mom) and the sweet Rose (Doris Roberts, from "Everybody Loves Raymond"), David strikes out when he tries his usual moves on the seemingly uninterested Julie (Marla Sokoloff). Writer-director Mark Fienberg strings together obvious situations and groan-inducing jokes, pausing too long for laughter that will never arrive. Griffith flounders in a role and a film that are beneath the comedy icon's talents.
