I have always liked soccer. I liked this movie, and I thought Gerald Butler did a great job playing the former soccer hero figuring out where to go in life after retiring from the game. His accent and demeanor were exactly perfect. The other performances were great, especially Dennis Quaid, but also Catherine Zeta-Jones and the little boy. Should the former wife of a celebrity take him back after she has divorced him and moved on? What if he realizes he loves her, not all those other women? Interestingly, I thought the soccer moms who put the moves on him were all better looking than the ex-wife he was trying to get back with, portraying that love is more important than looks. Perfect date movie.
