Movie Review - Playing for Keeps (2012)

Playing for Keeps (2012) / romantic, sport, comedy

Director: Gabriele Muccino
Writer: Robbie Fox
Starring: Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Dennis Quaid, Uma Thurman, Judy Greer
Trailer: click.

George Dryer (Gerard Butler) is a former professional soccer player that needs money and a job. Meanwhile his relationship with son Lewis (Noah Lomax) is also unsuccessful, plus he receives the news that his ex-wife Stacie (Jessica Biel) is getting married. He receives an offer to coaching his son's soccer team as a way to get his life together. Attractive soccer moms are totally into him so now it's time to set his priority straight. You know I don't like typical romantic comedies (usually they are neither funny nor romantic) and this one sure is one of those. I love Gerry but movie is such a cliche and waste of time. 2/5
