You know, this is one of those movies so deserving that no one has ever seen.  When you mention the title, say who stars in it, give a summation and show a trailer, it doesn't inspire moviegoers to groan and escape like Oogieloves or Bucky Larson do.  That all said, Gerard Butler is an actor who can act who is squandering his career on P.S. I Love You, Nim's Island, The Ugly Truth, The Bounty Hunter and now this movie.
 
I blame Andrew Lloyd Webber for miscasting him in Phantom Of The Opera, but hey, that's just me. . . .
 
The lameness of this movie points to the lameness in general of romantic movies overall.   I wonder if in a day and age where you're likely to be asked to show your credit score and your STD test before any serious dating goes on, romance seems to be valued very lowly.  If so, then why do people complain about being in a boring marriage?  Yeah, that's another story. . . .

UPDATE from Head RAZZBerry: Not only did this bomb with crix (it's one of the year's Berry Worst-Reviewed Titles) it also bombed at the box office -- So spectacularly that the headline on today's L.A. Times article about weekend grosses gave this film's bombing equal space with SKYFALL's impressive climb up the Grosses Chart. Here's the LINK to read the Times' story...

Whoa! Aside from 1000 WORDS, this is the only movie this year with a 0% (and a consensus) on RT: "A witless, unfocused, arguably misogynistic, dispiriting, lowest-common-denominator Hollywood rom-com". Although the rating might go up a few notches, if it stays below 5%, it seems like it should be considered for multiple categories. ]]> Thu, 06 Dec 2012 17:17:52 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6040&PID=53034#53034 Member Discussion: PLAYING FOR KEEPS : GTAhater, it's a football... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6040&PID=53032#53032 Author: Vheid

I remember last winter (February or March 2012) when I saw Gerard Butler's name on this. I was already familiar with him for the overrated Law-Abiding Citizen and the #2 worst film of 2010, The Bounty Hunter. I even remember Gamer, which didn't get a forum despite Butler's name attached to it on the RAZZIE nominations ballot back in September 2009.
 
Fast forward to the autumn of 2012 going on 2013, and now we've come to another baseball film. One of my co-workers agree baseball is dying. Ever since 2005, everyone's waited painfully for every baseball World Series to just end! People hardly even notice whenever the baseball series opens and closes anymore. In circa September, I started to doubt this would be one of ours. Just a month ago, it only had 2 reviews on Metacritic, both 40%. Now it's just a day to release, and it's a LOT worse than I imagined. Now I'm glad I saw this coming a while back.
 
As for who to nominate this for, I'd be satisfied if it's only for Jessica Biel because Total Recall [remake] was the worst of the three other films mentioned. This and Bel Ami 2012 for Uma Thurman would be okay. But if Gerard Butler should be nominated for this, hopefully it doesn't include Chasing Mavericks, because that was FAR better than Silent Hill: Revelation 3D.

I'd also say Worst Supporting Actress, Uma Thurman (for this and BEL AMI).

For me, this is probably most eligible as Worst Actor for Gerard Butler (For This AND Chasing Mavericks) and Worst actress for Jessica Biel (For This AND Total Recall).

THOUGH HE's HARDLY in KEANU REEVES' LEAGUE WHEN IT COMES to DESERVING RAZZIE® "WINNERS" WHO'VE NEVER "WON" a RAZZIE®, IT IS SURPRISING THAT GERARD BUTLER HAS ONLY MADE IT into the FINAL FIVE CONTENDERS for WORST ACTOR ONCE. HE's CERTAINLY MADE HIS SHARE of STINKERS and CLINKERS...  

AND NOW WE CAN ADD to HIS LIST PLAYING FOR KEEPS, a BY-the-NUMBERS "ROMANTIC" COMEDY THAT, IN ADDITION to BUTLER, FEATURES SUCH PAST RAZZIE® NOMINEES as JESSICA BIEL, UMA THURMAN and CATHERINE ZETA-JONES.

AS for REVIEWS, THIS ONE SCORED a PERFECT ZERO from ITs FIRST EIGHT REVIEWS on ROTTEN TOMATOES, and LOOKS LIKELY to END UP BEING ONE of 2012's WORST-REVIEWED MOVIES. ITs BOX OFFICE PROSPECTS ALSO LOOK QUITE DIM, SINCE IT ONLY HAS ONE WEEKEND UNTIL SEVERAL OTHER, BETTER MOVIES OPEN to COMPETE WITH IT. 

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT: ALL the USUAL MAKINGS of a LIKELY RAZZIE® CONTENDER -- BUT IN a YEAR with as MANY RAZZIE® CONTENDERS as 2012 HAS PROVIDED SO FAR...WHO KNOWS?
