Prise au jeu

This romcom lacked originality, becoming a tedious experience with a predictable plot that failed to evoke any laughter.

Players completely missed the mark. Unclear what they were thinking, as it failed to capture my interest and left me disengaged throughout. Just bad and boring.

The plot was very weak, they tried to be too smart with fast quirky dialogues but just made everything too shallow, and made the characters even more unrealistic. Couldn't connect with anyone or anything that was happening.

I don't know what more to say, but I hope to see modern romcoms that have deeper meaning and better storytelling.

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!

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.

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.

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.
