Playing for KeepsMovie Reviews

Good movie!!

I like this movie, which is about love, family, father and son,single dad and desperate housewife...

Playing for Keeps

Ok movie. Could have waited for it to come out on DVD.

'Playing For Keeps' Has All I Want In A Rom-Com And Leaves Out The Stuff I Don't

When critics write about Gabriele Muccino?s English language movie 'Playing For Keeps' they?ll say all the wrong things. They?ll call it generic, artificial, formulaic, and predictable.

Yeah, sure. But they won?t tell you the good things about it. It?s sweet. It?s romantic. It?s got marvelously handsome Gerard Butler not holding back with his irresistible Scottish accent. It?s got real kids saying real kid things and not mouthing off to adults or swearing. It?s free of bathroom jokes, ridiculous antics that involve senior citizens hip hop dancing and offensive jokes about projectile vomiting, Viagra, or binge drinking. It?s nice; is that so wrong?

Check out my blog ' I Love Italian Movies' for the rest of my review and more on Italian directors like Gabriele Muccino.

Playing for Keeps

The movie was decent, and the acting was good. It was too long. If you like the actors, it is worth seeing.

Great

A feal good movie

so dumb.

It had so many unnecessary parts to it. And didn't focus on the things it should have

aweful.

I will never get those 2 hrs back

Outstanding Romantic/Comedy/Drama -Great Date Night

The previews looked pretty straightforward, and I wasn't expecting too much, but the wife wanted to go, so...well, you know how that goes. Anyway, great movie! Best Gerard Butler performance since 300. Chemistry with Beal was great, and for once they got the kid (Noah) right! The bond between the kid and Butler grew ever more salient as the movie progressed, and the kid was just fantastic--and he was a cute kid. So many times Hollywood gets these lame-looking doofuses to be the kids of two, good-looking parents, and we're always like--how could that dumbass-looking piece of crap come from those two nice-looking parents?

This is Jessica Biel's finest work as well. More often than not she communicated much of what she felt through her face, and especially her eyes...without overacting. She owned that role, and you could just feel how torn she was between choosing true love or choosing what was safe.

Great entertainment! Good values promoted. Guys, take your wives.

No plot.

It left me wanting

This was so not what I expected! It wasn't bad, but it just wasn't good.

Zzzzzzzz....

This is one if the worst movies I've ever seen. It is disjointed and has a very soft, uninteresting storyline. There is no chemistry, it is not funny and they use the word "kiddo" about 17 times. Poor, poor writing. The only redeeming quality is that Gerard butler is good lo

keep.... your money!!!

avoid this at all costs, not even worth wear and tear on your tv.

It just wasn't a good movie

I love all the actors in this but the story line just couldn't make this movie entertaining. It was drawn out for too long and the chemistry was better with George and his flings than who was supposed to be the love of his life. Wait for it to come on tv in a few years so they can cut out the really boring parts.
