Playing for Keeps

Awful ‘Playing for Keeps’ Wastes Talent of Notable Cast

HollywoodChicago.com Oscarman rating: 1.5/5.0
Rating: 1.5/5.0

The idiotic crawl of “Playing for Keeps” is a prime example of that style, a sad exercise in contradictions that pass for narrative. Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel, Dennis Quaid and Catherine Zeta-Jones get punked by the script.
