Players

5.3/10 (Not Recommended)

I thought this movie would be more of a group of people having fun and running a Playbook similar to Barney Stinson in HIMYM. However, it feels like a long drawn out trope for one guy that doesn't even feel exciting. The cast has some good and bad chemistry. At some points they're enjoyable together and at others annoying. The romance is relatively weak. The sub-romance was more intriguing than the main one. The lives, the backgrounds aren't very interesting. The overall length of the film is too long. I lost a lot of interest throughout and was thankful by the time it ended. It drags on and has no redeeming qualities. Hopefully you're not wasting your time watching it on Valentine's Day cause it's not a worthy V-Day movie.

That's all for now. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. Until next time.... Enjoy the show!

When I first saw this movie advertised I was really excited for it to come out, especially because Tom Ellis is in it. The movie definitely did not disappoint. This film is a great, cute, & funny rom-com. Yes, like some reviews say, it is predictable but most rom-coms are and that's why you love them. The simple storyline doesn't take anything away from how good of a movie this is. I'm actually surprised it doesn't have a higher rating. It was really well cast, everyone does a wonderful job in this, and they all have great chemistry. If you love rom-coms, then you should definitely give this a watch!!

I think the basic premise would have been more believable if this was a college comedy. If the cast and characters were all under 25, the lack of maturity and self awareness would have made sense. But to have characters in their 30s and 40s acting like scheming horny frat boys wasn't entertaining. I usually find Gina Rodriguez and Tom Ellis to be charming. Here... not so much. He came across as dull. There was little chemistry between them. Her character really didn't make a ton of sense. You are an attractive woman in NYC, if you really have to try that hard to get laid, you are doing it wrong.

I haven't seen Damon Wayans Jr. In many things, does he always act like he is sleepwalking? Maybe he just agreed to do this for the paycheck. I get that. Just wish it didn't show on screen.

Can we please stop with the same thing over and over again? I get it, you think it works. It doesn't. We've been over this formula of movies since the 90s, the fact that they're predictable makes them really bad. And here's the thing, this movie had all the potential of being good, except when you went into the formula part of it and started to make it the same stupid thing as the 9000 romcoms before it were.

Just stop making movies predictable, the first 30 minutes were great, it had originality and flair, and then you started with the whole "girl finally wants to get the guy" part and it sucked BADLY. Please any directors that see this review, take a note and stop making this garbage, no one wants to see it.

6/10 predictable formulaic same old story, no new spin.

Players is a new addition to Netflix's roster of rom cons and at this point it might start to get stale, but I thought this was fun. Gina Rodriguez is looking better all the time. She's a bit of a player and has a list of different ways to get men in her bed. She falls for tom Ellis but his a cock so there is no spark. It's a bit of a predictable movie in the sense that we all could tell how it would end. I thought it was a fun watch though and for me atleast it got a couple of little laughs from me. It came out just in time for valentine's so it's nice seeing a pretty woman get it on. Overall players is cheesy and predictable but overall still not bad.
