Romance. Comedy New York sportswriter Mack who spent years devising successful hook-up "plays" with best friend Adam and crew, unexpectedly falls for one of the targets and learns what it takes to go from simply scoring to playing for keeps.

	Media	Author	Review
		Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] is the kind of romantic comedy that wears the conventions of its genre proudly. It’s not reaching for unique twists or spectacular splashes (...) No, it’s trying to win you over with the basics: attractive leads with chemistry, a bit of triangular tension, a gallery of witty friends and a lesson tucked into a heartwarming story"
		Alissa Wilkinson The New York Times	"'Players' is an old-fashioned romantic comedy, which means you know the end from the start. That’s not a bug; it’s a feature, a well-deployed one in this case"
		Adrian Horton The Guardian	"For a streaming economy romcom, particularly of the Netflix variety, it's batting far above average (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Courtney Howard Variety	"Director Trish Sie's middling and at times mawkish film not only makes us hate the game, but also its players"
		Amanda Guarragi Ready Steady Cut	"A playful romantic comedy that is full of heart and special moments making it one of the most unique films for the subgenre on the platform. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Sheila O'Malley rogerebert.com	"[It] struggles with the inherent artificiality of its setup. The tropes are so front and center that real life barely has any room to breathe (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Liz Kocan Decider	"It succeeds thanks to a talented ensemble cast (...) Despite some its contrivances, 'Players' won me over"
		Patrice Witherspoon Screen Rant	"As far as rom-coms go, 'Players' barks up a creative tree, but this story is about as trashy as they come (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Jennifer Green Common Sense Media	"The well-honed 'plays' they enact in bars to bag singles is a funny idea, as is the 'Oceans Eleven'-style reconnaissance mission they implement to help one land the guy of her dreams"
