Playing for Keeps

A washed up soccer star/down-on-his-luck absentee dad (Gerard Butler) searches for a broadcasting job while trying to reconnect with his son. However, he ends up coaching his son's soccer team while dealing with some crazy parents (Dennis Quaid, Uma Thurman, and Catherine Zeta-Jones) and his ex-wife (Jessica Biel). One soccer mom (Judy Greer) is hilarious and steals all of her scenes. The romantic comedy genre is always predictable, but this divorced family story is very funny, touching, and entertaining.
