Netflix romance movies: Playing For Keeps

Release Year: 2012

Directed by Gabriele Muccino

Starring Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel, Uma Thurman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Dennis Quaid, Judy Greer, James Tupper, Aiden Potter, and Noah Lomax

Playing for Keeps is a romantic comedy that fans of the genre will be watching on Netflix in droves. Why? Well, simply because the romance movie has an incredible cast. You don’t see Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel, Uma Thurman and Catherine Zeta-Jones in many movies these days!

The rom-com, sadly, just isn’t what it used to be!

The movie tells the story of George Dryer, played by Butler. George is a washed-up football player with troubles in his home life. He tries to move on to a new phase of his career and develop a good relationship with his son and his ex-wife, while also pursuing other relationships.

Things don’t go so well.

Overall, this movie was a bomb at the box office when it was released theaters, and people will likely be turned off by that. But, it’s the perfect low stakes-ish movie to watch on Netflix, especially for a holiday like Valentine’s Day, a Saturday night, or you just need a new movie like this.
