Not much playing here.
George Dryer(Gerard Butler) a once great soccer player, he was pretty much the Michael Jordan of that sport. Tries to pick up the pieces of his life after falling on hard times, he is trying to build a realiontship with his son and his ex wife(Jessica Biel), while trying to get a job has a sportscaster, but luck comes in, when he becomes the soccer coach for his sons team.Gerard Butler does make attempt to put in a good performance, and not play the character has one noted. His scenes with the boy are pretty effective. But everything else pretty much goes nowhere, plots involving Judy Greer, Catherine Zeta Jones, and Uma Thurman are completely bland beyond itself. Dennis Quaid is memorable in spots has the odd billionaire that Butler befriends. But Jessica Biel is out of place here has Butlers ex, her acting says how out of place she is.
This movie couldn’t make up it’s mind
Playing for keeps is a pretty stereotypical romantic comedy. The movie comes across as entirely too predictable, but with an extremely diverse gamut of characters (this is not a good thing). I didn’t understand about half of the characters in this film, as a matter of fact, I would argue that if you got rid of them it might actually push this movie to be slightly better. Gerard Butler and Jessica Biel are pleasantly average in their performances and the story-line is mediocre-ly interesting.Overall the movie was enjoyable, but definitely not something I’m going to be reaching for to re-watch anytime soon.
