    Charmless and immature.

    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.

    Players Looking For Love

    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!!

    Alt Reality to Past Lives / More RomDram than RomCom

    At first, the main cast of the movie comes across as knock-off, less egregious versions of Barney Stinson from "How I Met Your Mother," but eventually, the movie matures in a way I wasn't expecting it to. I would think a lot of people in their late twenties to early thirties could relate to the struggle of wanting to move from casual dating to serious relationships, and then holding onto dear life anybody who shows promise of a serious relationship. It was cool it all play out.

    The movie won't give you a lot to laugh at, but I think it does give you a bit to think about. And that's always nice.

    Girl is a dude

    Mack (Gina Rodriguez) is the leader of her guy friends including best friend Adam (Damon Wayans Jr.). The friends all work together and most of all, she runs 'plays' with them to get hot dates. One day, hot famous reporter Nick (Tom Ellis) walks into the office. He's a friend of her boss. She decides to run a play on him.

    I get it. This role is traditional a dude. It's Wedding Crashers or any number of stories where guys scheme to bed the hot dumb girls. Only, the translation cannot be done one for one directly. First, she needs a reason to do what she does. She needs romantic trauma to send her down this road. Second, the romantic entanglement should not have a fourth wheel. A love triangle is so much easier. As its heart, this is a simple rom-com. The rom is a bit of hit and miss. The com is struggling. Gina Rodriguez is a nice charming actress and she makes this barely acceptable.

    3.5/5 stars

    There's truly nothing like a slow-burn friends to lovers story that really gets me going. I wanna experience falling in love with my best friend again.

    I was rooting for them the whole time, they had such good chemistry. I love gina rodriguez i swear she can do no wrong in these roles

    it was hard to not see jane the virgin, winston from new girl, lucifer and the guy from the kissing booth but i loved their group dynamic. Also liza?? Ive missed my babygirl

    honestly pretty good movie, i thoroughly enjoyed it. Netflix movies usually are hit or miss and i know some people will hate on it but definitely a good casual movie. At least i felt the characters had some sort of chemistry and they're so real for manipulating every situation to get the guy they want

    girl i'd fake my whole persona for a hot man with an accent too.
