At its one hour and 45 minutes run time, it is a fine choice for a Netflix rom-com and the perfect entertainment if you are looking to laugh out loud, get a little emotional, and be put off eating whole branzino forever.

Entertaining little rom-com

| Jun 1, 2024

Unlike the interrogation-room scheme of most streaming romantic comedies, it's lit like a real movie. It’s the nicest thing to say, as the exertion Rodriguez and Wayans exhibit to even keep this watchable will just make you wish they had different agents.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 10, 2024

This is a rom-com where all the emphasis is on comedy and not so much on the romance, for sure.

| Mar 4, 2024

There is some real sweetness to it... Even though it didn't totally work for me, I'm going to assume it will work for its target audience.

| Mar 4, 2024

There are so many reasons to be discouraged by “Players” that it’s hard to know what to feel most bummed about.

| Original Score: D+ | Feb 26, 2024

Gina Rodriguez saves Players from being one of those Netflix rom-coms that you should just avoid. Her charisma livens up the screen, and her performance actually brings much-needed pathos to the film.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Feb 23, 2024

...a romcom-friendly premise that’s employed to passable yet entirely forgettable effect...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 21, 2024

The latest ‘Netflix film’ that adds yet more evidence to the pile that the streaming giant is farming out its ‘content creation’ to an AI that hasn’t fully grasped the concepts of ‘humanity’, ‘cinema’, or ‘humor’ just yet.

| Feb 21, 2024

Nobody should expect too much of a movie in this genre released on Valentine’s Day, and grading on that curve, “Players” happily punches above its weight class and exceeds expectations.

| Feb 19, 2024

[W]hile it’s refreshing to see a female protagonist who enjoys sex, Players strikes out.

| Feb 17, 2024

Players is a quintessential rom-com, even though it packs in a few adult themes like casual flings and some raunchiness.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 16, 2024

Players didn’t bring its A-game

| Original Score: 6.0 | Feb 16, 2024

The mechanics of Whit Anderson’s script are derivative and predictable, so the movie mostly coasts on the charm of its cast (they are charming, though I wish Rodriguez and Wayans Jr. had more chemistry).

| Feb 16, 2024

If only Players knew what kind of character Mack was supposed to be and had a half-interesting romance, it would have been successful.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Feb 16, 2024

Even though the film’s reliance on the gang’s elaborate plays felt overwhelming, the characters develop and evolve and are always consistently funny in the process.

| Feb 16, 2024

Players is a perfectly fine — occasionally better-than-fine — romantic comedy starring well-known 온라인카지노추천 actors who know their way around this kind of material.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 15, 2024

Mack’s character development is believable because of Rodriguez’s committed performance, which moves with ease between tears and laughter.

| Feb 15, 2024

Maybe there’s a winning formula buried somewhere deep in this largely joyless endeavor, but it’s a rom com with no shot at championship glory.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Feb 15, 2024

Gina Rodriguez is thoroughly entertaining in the predictable Players, but you'll enjoy the journey even though you know the destination.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 15, 2024
