Prise au jeu

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
