Players (2024)
Time: 1h 43mins
Director: Trish Sie
Quick Summary: A sports writer unused to relationships falls for a fling, leading her to reconsider playing the field in favour of commitment.
Imagine if this girl had one female friend to help her out.
I don't know how I feel about this apart from I did not enjoy it. It's supposed to be A Romcom with sports stuff involved, but all we got was the occasional sports pun or maybe they talk about sports very briefly.
There is barely any romance in it too, it all feels like lusting after people. Then lusting after someone who has their life together. Don't even get me started on the very obvious surprise romance happening in the background that wasn't supposed to be pieced together in the first 20 minutes.
Now, predictability aside which can be excused given the supposed genre, most if not all the characters are so shallow and childish that it's impossible to care for anyone, especially the female lead- I seriously couldn't cringe any harder at her stalkerish antics and the heavy lack of chemistry between her and the guy she's after. I mean, this is a grown woman who behaves like a middle schooler chasing after some dude whose interest in her is so nonexistent it's painful to watch really. Since they all treat getting with someone like a game, and need to set out tactics and strategies to get with these poor people for one-night stands.
This doesn't help my dislike of Romcoms. At least I laughed at the occasional sports pun and Lisa Koshy (the goddess who blessed us from Vine). Anytime she was on screen, it was instantly better
