"Playing for Keeps" is not playing well for critics. And not just most critics.
TheWrap's Alonso Duralde described Gerard Butler's new rom-com soccer movie as "dreadful" and even went as far as to call it an "extended penalty kick to the groin."
Apparently many of his colleagues (at least 50 of them) agree because the movie has garnered a zero-percent rating on critics aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
Ouch.
That rating puts it in line with other not-so classic films, including "In the Army Now," "A Kid in King Arthur's Court" and "Highlander II: The Quickening."
It has been a bad year for Butler, who earlier this year starred in "Chasing Mavericks," which was panned by critics as well.
