Playing for Keeps
— The problem with streaming is that it makes a large number of bad movies easily available. Yesterday I watched “Playing for Keeps” (Netflix). Worse, I watched it from start to finish. It really should have been a made-for-Lifetime movie and only having Gerard Butler as the star reminded me it was originally a theatrical release. Don’t bother watching this story of a retired and broke pro soccer reconnecting with his true love and becoming a superdad. This film is embarrassing on almost every level.

[2012. 105 min. Directed by Gabriele Muccino. Starring Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel, and Dennis Quaid.]
