Playing for keeps is a romantic comedy starting Gerard Butler and Jessica Biel. After they divorce and Gerard retired as a professional soccer player he doesn't know what to do, trying to became a sportscaster and to reconnect with his 9 year old son, he is failing horribly, being a father is hard, but he's trying to connect with his son and not become a has been player is very difficult to juggle. Adding that he still in love with his ex and she's engage to married another, how is this multi triangle going to end. Playing for keep is typical romantic comedy with a basic plot, not original nor exciting, but definitely eye candy in Gerard Butler, he makes this movie tolerable to see with his good looks and that sexy accent just watching him made me happy. This movie is a toss up, I like Gerard Butler's performance and his connection with his son, but that's about it.
I give this movie 2 1/2 Stars.
