Gabriele Muccino‘s "Playing for Keeps" is a humorous family reunion excitement. Gerard Butler plays George Dryer in this movie who is an ex-star professional soccer player and a motivational dad to his young son, Lewis. His role is not too different from his previous presentation "Chasing Maverick". 

George wants to step forward as a sports commentator. He has a breakdown in his personal life. His family is not with him for a long time; besides this he does not have any money to pay his expenditures. He decides to go back to Virginia to patch up with his ex-wife Stacy and their son Lewis. He becomes conscious when he sees that his wife has moved in her life and engaged to get married at the present. She does not stop George to spend time with Lewis.
