Los juegos del amor

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 thought Players was an enjoyable watch with a nice balance of humor and endearing moments. It emphasized the bonds of friendship and the importance of staying true to who you are especially when it comes to love.

Pros: Funny, sweet, refreshing characters Con: Lacked chemistry. Predictable plot

I was surprised by the IMDB rating but once I saw some of the reviews I understood why.. A woman who deceives men in order to land a night with them or maybe even a relationship?

A woman playing the games of boys?

*Cue the shocked gasps & clutching of pearls*

Overall I liked it & will probably watch it again xx.

I can never understand critics ratings on Rom-Coms so I never really pay attention when it comes to these kind of movies. In my view, for these to work you have to have a strong talented female lead, good script and be creative with how the love transpires, even if you give some of the clues early. The lead actress, Gina Rodriguez was on point because she was cute, funny and human. Most of us regardless of age don't understand our own feelings and she eventually got it which I thought played out well with the script. Where they messed up with her is that I really never understood the reason for the "one night stand" process or maybe they didn't flush the reasoning out clearly. I think the male counterparts were weak because Mr. Lucifer didn't seem to fit the gorgeous, supposedly adult male part and Mr. Wyans seems to have good chemistry with Gina but his mood was to negative looking for some reason and he was pessimistic most of the time so the obvious was noticed early in the movie. I won't spoil anything by talking about the romance and love areas of the movie. I think these type stories should be short limited series, like 4-5 episodes to flush out all the back stories like the Koreans do with there kdramas, which are excellent at this kind of material.

Overall, good job by Gina Rodriguez and she pretty much carries this across the finish line!

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.

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!
