I am sorta surprised at the very negative ratings this movie has gotten on rotten tomatoes. It's really not that bad of a romantic comedy, in fact it's actually quite watchable. It's not really funny romantic comedy but it does focus more on the relationship and emotional side of things. And it does a decent job of blending emotions, relationship and comedic parts. Although it leans more towards the lighthearted emotional elements. Gerard Butler plays a ex-soccer player who was a great soccer player before but now down in a slump and looking for work. And is actually very slightly based on the life of a real soccer player. In fact that soccer player is the one that trained Gerard for this role. Gerard Seems to be making his career on rom-coms and relationship type movies and this one is one of the alright ones. It isn't a great romantic comedy or one that I will probably see again but it was alright to sit through once. Anyways the main plot focuses on Gerard Butler's character named George who is a ex-soccer player who is trying to get his life back together while still trying to keep his bond with his son and his ex-wife. And it helps him a great deal when he gets a job as a soccer coach for a team his son is in. And since mom's are attracted to guys that are good with kids, a lot of woman start having attraction towards George. There is Dennis Quaid, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Uma Thurman but they are just mainly there for distractions. When it comes to the relationship between George and Stacie played by Jessica Biel. It's not really a funny or great rom-com but it's watchable.
