Playing for Keeps looks like this years’ We Bought a Zoo. Playing for Keeps stars Gerald Butler as an ex-pro soccer player turned youth soccer coach down on his luck. He has a son with a girl (Jessica Biel) but has hardly any income since his soccer days. Butler’s character must straighten up and be the dependable dad he needs to be. The film also stars Uma Thurman, Judy Greer, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Dennis Quaid. Playing for Keeps looks like a drool-fest over Gerald Butler which is perfectly fine, the ladies love him and the guys all wish they were him. Although this film seems like it will be a little sappy, I will still see it. The director, Gabriele Muccino seems perfect for this film from his pedigree with films like The Last Kiss, The Pursuit of Happyness, Seven Pounds and Kiss Me Again under his belt. Playing for Keeps will hit theaters December 7th.
