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. Read full review

Alissa Wilkinson

Feb 13, 2024

It’s as much a story of love among friends as it is of any couple, and a handful of good gags and great performances keep the whole thing steaming along. Read full review

Players is a perfectly fine — occasionally better-than-fine — romantic comedy starring well-known TV actors who know their way around this kind of material. It’s light and bouncy. There’s plenty to like here. Read full review

Feb 14, 2024

Players, written by Whit Anderson and directed by Trish Sie, struggles with the inherent artificiality of its setup. The tropes are so front and center that real life barely has any room to breathe. Read full review

Screen Rant Patrice Witherspoon

Feb 15, 2024

It leans into unrealistic territory, and we’re unfortunately left with a trashy story that very few will like. Not even the ever-charming Gina Rodriguez and confident Damon Wayans Jr. could save this film. Read full review

Courtney Howard

Trish Sie’s middling and at times mawkish film not only makes us hate the game, but also its players. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Feb 14, 2024

“Jane the Virgin” alumna Rodriguez has the timing and bubbly energy to make her character tolerable in a slick movie that’s unoriginal, trite and cliched. She gives it her all, but this was never more than a feeble excuse for a Valentine’s Day romantic comedy. Read full review
