"Directed by Italian Gabriele Muccino, the same of 'The Pursuit of Happiness', 'Playing for Keeps' is an honest, well-written, well-directed movie with a great cast. A romantic comedy about maturity, Gerard Butler shows why he was the heartthrob of films of this genre in the 2000s with a great performance, as well as his co-stars, Jessica Biel, Uma Thurman and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Even the secondary characters are a highlight of the production for having good development."
