Playing for Keeps
The most interesting thing about Playing for Keeps is trying to figure out who the movie is for. Is it for lonely housewives itching to nail Gerard Butler? Soccer fans desperate for validation that their little game of "futball" is actually a real sport? Moviegoers hoping for a glimpse of Uma Thurman with her top off? (Trick question, that's everybody.) The only satisfactory answer is that this movie is for adult children of broken homes who kind of blame their mothers.
