Pretty much from the assembly line. Full Review
Attractive actors can't redeem a sodden script. Full Review
You hope Butler will find a movie that will give him the right material to make hearts truly beat faster. Full Review
None of it is especially credible or engaging. Full Review
A modestly affecting reconciliation drama wrapped in a so-so sports movie by way of a misogynistic romantic comedy, Playing for Keeps can't stop tripping all over itself. Full Review
